Board the ship, kill the crew, ransack her computers & then blow the ship to vapour. Then head home and start gearing up for war, or a 'chance' peaceful first contact if they happen to have a big ole empire.

Either that or turn around and run like hell. If they follow, they're hostile, if they don't they're not.

Yeah. Be insanely aggressive vs. what you can see. Let's hope they don't have any observers you don't know about that can report back about the insanely aggressive shoot on sight aliens they have to worry about......

Who saw which direction you left.....

Or managed to drop a nifty on the outside of your hull.....

If their sensor range is that superior to our own, you can presume the rest of their technology would have a similar edge. If that's the case, you're screwed whatever you do if it comes to conflict. Peace might still be an option though!
