What is Earth's first reaction?
What would the Covenant do?
My thoughts
Governments would attempt to come in contact with the Aliens by sending a ship up to greet them, a Jackal team sneaks on and raids the ship, the United states send another ship and defeat the Jackal raiders. A dropship filled with Brutes are sent and the war begins.

EDIT: Be aware, the Covenant are not to be trifled with both in land and air. Scarab anyone? Elites can pretty much take on a direct barrage of AK-47 rounds and still be able to fight, all it takes for the Covenant is one blast from a Plasma Pistol and our body parts melt away.
In Air Seraphs would destroy any of our aircraft, and you know it, they have such a fast velocity that our missiles wouldn't even catch up to their fighters!
Thinking of our powerful arsenal, we do have Nuclear warheads, but you can't expect for us to use them right away, Nuclear Winter anyone? We would both die, that would be a failsafe plan if all is lost, if it even worked if any of them reached the Super Carrier as their point defense lasers would obliterate them before they even exited atmosphere.
Be aware, a Super Carrier can carry over 10 million ground forces including vehicles, they would do the same tactic they did with Reach, take over a large area and cloak it, the battle would then begin on the ground while the Seraphs and Super Carrier rain hell from above, we would hold them, but not for long.
EDIT 2: Just to clarify anything, this is the Covenant prior to the Great Schism, including all species.
Grunts
Jackals
Skirmishers(Maybe?)
Buggers
Brutes
Elites
Hunters
Engineers
