First contact between humanity and the Covenant happens between the human inhabitants of Harvest and a Covenant task force led by Jiralhanae a. The Jiralhanae are making unreasonable demands during the negotiations, but that's not what starts the Human-Covenant War. Instead, it was a trigger-happy Covenant Grunt. Also, unbeknownst to either party, the Covenant's High Prophets were already planning on wiping out humanity regardless of how negotiations went. When aliens land, humans send out peaceful processions to greet them, which are quickly massacred by the landing party.
However, the humans also very reasonably have military units nearby, just in case. The twist is that, other than their space travel capabilities, the aliens are ridiculously out of their league , technologically attacking with flintlock rifles and powder cannons. The invaders are killed or captured in minutes. The aims of the Vong are pretty clear, but the Quislings in the Peace Brigade are convinced they can reach an accommodation with them.
This isn't the case of course. Technically, the Yuuzhan Vong do come in peace.

In the backstory of the Kris Longknife series, the humans and Iteeche first encountered each other when the Iteeche attacked outlying colonies without warning. After a bloody border conflict the two species agreed to ignore each other and established a demilitarized zone that neither was allowed to fly through. That's the official story on both sides anyway: What really happened was that the attacks went in both directions, having been committed by Iteeche and human Space Pirates.
These pirates then lied to their respective governments when reaction forces moved in to defend the colonies; the two navies collided and lack of shared communications frequencies and unwillingness to negotiate did the rest. After figuring out some of what was really going on, Ray Longknife and Roth'sum'We'sum'Quin managed to make contact with each other and negotiate The Neutral Zone , and the two species went their separate ways, all the while with both their respective publics convinced that the other side had intended their extermination and they had survived by the skin of their teeth.
In the Confederation of Valor series, the Others began attacking the Confederation centuries ago. The Confederation sent diplomats to point out that Space Is Big and there was plenty of room for both civilizations; the Others sent back the dead diplomats with a bomb.
Actually, the Others, who call themselves the Primacy, had the exact same experience with the Confederation. Both sides were being manipulated, and peace efforts sabotaged, by a Higher-Tech Species as a giant sociology experiment. Once this is discovered by protagonist Torin Kerr and other inmates of an alien P. Camp in book four, they bury the hatchet with the Primacy. The Nano Flower by Peter F. Julia Evan 's husband Royan discovers some alien microbes and decides to experiment with them.
Unfortunately they gain sentience and try to assimilate Royan when he tries to terminate the experiment, but end in a Mexican Standoff as Royan is partly-absorbed but could still detonate the gamma mines he's set up if the alien tries to complete the process.
They agree each will send one message to the outside world; one to Julia Evans and the other to a Corrupt Corporate Executive , with both of them pitching the argument for the alien's survival vs. Bounders has an example with Earthlings as the aliens. When humans first started mining Gulaga for occludium, they thought the Tunnelers were just dumb animals.
Once they realized Tunnelers were actually intelligent beings with a complex civilization, they effectively enslaved the species, while pretending to be their allies, and forced them to mine occludium. Live-Action TV. Chris Elliott did a sketch on some show parodying the "all aliens are friendly" by hugging and promoting one trying to attack him.

In Babylon 5 , such an incident kicked off the pre-series Earth-Minbari War: during the first contact, that EarthForce captain Jankowski had orders to avoid, the human ships come in with active scanners to try and get data of the Minbari ships they met in what they thought was neutral space; the Minbari, to which the system actually belongs, approach with gunports open, a cultural gesture of respect, while giving a slight show of force by activating their stealth on low, thus negating EarthForce' scanning, and using their own high-powered scanners, that accidentally jam the humans' jump drives with their scanners; as Jankowski realizes he messed up and starts broadcasting "We mean no harm" and Dukhat, the leader of the Minbari, realizes what the open gunports orderd by his subordinates could be mistaken for, things look salvageable Then the Minbari detect Soul Hunter ships, that they shoot on sight and humans can't detect, the commander of the Minbari flagship powers the weapons to deal with the Soul Hunters, and Jankowski, mistaking it for a coming attack on his ships, opens fire.
But the Silurians themselves are conflicted, with some of them wanting peace and others releasing a plague on London.

After a long battle with the enemy, the good aliens drive off the evil ones and all of the heroes gather up to throw a celebration in their honor.

The good aliens and the evil aliens are both on the same side, and fabricated the war in order to gather all of the super heroes in the same place at the same time. Following the extermination of the good supers, the aliens enslave humanity and rule with an iron fist leaving only the super-villains to fight for humanity.

Mass Effect : First Contact with alien life for humans came in the form of the turians discovering human explorers activating inactive mass relays whenever they found them.
Unbeknownst to the humans, this was a serious crime by galactic law What the turians saw was an unknown race of aggressive expansionists who wantonly ignored all the Citadel Conventions that they were sworn to protect, and being a highly militaristic society, opened fire without warning on the human forces.
The humans in turn saw a bunch of aliens attacking their new colonies for no reason. Fortunately, the other Citadel species, particularly the diplomatic asari, quickly saw what was happening and stepped in with peace talks before it could explode into full-blown war. Indeed, the Council ordered the turians to pay reparations to the humans, saying that they should have contacted the humans and explained the situation before immediately shooting at them and occupying a colony world.
Good thing, too, as if it had expanded into a real war, there's no telling who would have come out on top, and there would definitely have been billions of casualties on both sides. The salarians actually did some projections of what might have happened, and determined that, most likely, the humans and turians would have wiped each other out The whole debacle became known to humanity as the First Contact War, while the turians call it the Relay Incident.
The Reapers also attempt to invoke this, by inviting planetary government leaders for "peace talks" read: indoctrination , and otherwise come out guns blazing. When the kett first encountered the angara in Mass Effect: Andromeda , the angara were still reeling from the Scourge cutting off so many of their colony worlds, resulting in the destruction of a large majority of their history. The kett gifted them with knowledge, resources, and the like, and when the angaran's guard was down, they suddenly began abducting and killing them.

The PlayStation version had this rendered as a cutscene of two world leaders in the UN building signing a treaty with the aliens, only for a group of aliens led by a Sectoid with a Slasher Smile and two Mutons to come through the door and blast the head off one of them.
The aliens in addition to giving us the cold shoulder start abducting humans at complete random across the globe. Terrible as this is they seem willing to keep it at that until X-com operatives start killing their troops, shooting down their UFO's, and raiding their bases at which point they outright attack civilians with no intent to abduct with some of the most horrifying stuff you will ever see eviscerate a live human.
The sequels reveal that the alien leaders' master plan was to harvest human DNA, which contains a rare genetic sequence that allows for a combination of peak physical performance and psionic spellcraft, in order to save the galaxy When they win in Enemy Unknown, they set up a worldwide dictatorship to streamline the process of getting humans to sit in their fancy tubes.
