When you say all these UFOs attacked you, do you mean attacked your
craft in the alien dimension, or attacked the city?

Doesn't make much difference, but here's how to stop the alien problem!

Get at least two Annihilators, armed with H. disruptors, SHIELDS, and
alien missiles.  Send them through to the alien dimension, knock off the
UFOs one by one (letting your shields fully recharge after each kill - a
safe place where they will not chase you is right at the bottom right
hand corner of the map).  Simple!  No more UFOs!

To damage their production, manually shoot all those crystals you can
see at the top of the map.  Apparently, those are the alien resources!

Also, after you destroy the fifth or sixth building, they stop building
UFOs anyway...so no problem!
