Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from

The prompt this week is - Alien Invasion
This prompt was inspired by a recent strange event in Brazil. The emergency broadcast system in Minais Gerais and a couple of other states was activated in the middle of the night, with texts and alarm tones sent to thousands of mobile phones warning of an alien invasion. It turns out that the system had been hacked, but it did cause quite a bit of panic and confusion, followed by mirth and memes.
Tell me a story of alien invasion ! It doesn't have to be set in the world now; how would an alien invasion look to people in the distant (or not so distant) past, or in the near future or a sci-fi setting ? How would people in a fantasy setting react, where strange creatures and magical effects might be common ? Would the invasion be more or less likely to succeed than if they landed on 21st Century Earth (flying saucers vs dragons, anyone ?)
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
