I’m not sure about that. For sake of discussion assume they are self replicating Von Neumann probes [1] from an ET civilization, interesting something serious scientists would predict we might find as first evidence.

We do now have working high energy laser weapons.

I would vote to shoot at them.

Yes, let's shoot at something that's sent from a civilization with technology incomprehensibly more advanced than ours.

Great idea, I'm sure they won't be able to annihilate us in a few seconds.

I know at first when I read the Russians are already shooting at them, I had your reaction. However after thinking about it more, assuming they are ET origin, the probe hypothesis is very likely, it’s basically what we would do once we could. In which case they would probably be robotic/AI/nonliving and unarmed, so imagine what we could learn if we could take a look at them.
