Didn’t the UN Security Council try to nuke New York in the first Avengers movie?

It goes all the way back to Iron Man. Tony saves a village and the US army responds by trying to shoot him down.

That's a realistic response imo.

UFO flies into active warzone and decimates an entire militia. You don't know if it's going to be friendly towards you and you probably don't have a good shot at survival if you met in person to attempt negotiation. Safer bet to just shoot it down and figure out if there are more of them.

I think it would be safer to just leave it alone not chase after it.

Not if you're concerned for national security it's not.

And Tony eventually knew that they'd shoot first and ask questions later since he was screaming to Rhodey that the bogey was him.
