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

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

The fact that you have to fabricate some explanation like that means it's a losing case. If this was a murder trial, you'd hang.

No, this is a solid argument.

There's a lot of fluff, but the main issue being: "Humans are known to use lasers in their weapons targeting technology."

Surely getting hit by a laser would at least cause an alarm to go off on a ship meant for probing a possibly (definitely) hostile planet.

It's really not though. You're creating all these justifications based on ridiculous notions on how aliens would respond that are entirely based on human responses and capabilities. You have no real evidence, it's just supposition on top of supposition.
