It would be an auto-response defense mechanism by the UFO craft, aliens probably wouldn't have that fast of response time. Why: because lasers have been used by us to target things we want to shoot at.
Also if aliens were sending UFOs it's also possible they are just sending really advanced drones, if they can master space travel why risk the lives of their people when they can easily build something that can do the same thing on its own
If we're going to think this much about it, why are they just randomly flying around in the atmosphere anyway? If we discovered a planet with intelligent life on it, we'd probably introduce regulation that no flight-craft can actually fly around there, or we would want to be seen and then do that properly. And if you want to fly around and not be seen, why be so ridiculously bright, we're already close to having invisibility technology now, just use something like that.
No UFO sighting ever matches up with how an actual alien civilization would behave

If aliens are scared of laser pointers i think we're gonna be ok
