The missile would penetrate the UFO and explode in or near its motor block.
The heat and blast would make its motor detonate, like a warp core breach in
Star Trek but quicker. There are plenty of cases in the TV episodes of an
Interceptor missile hitting a UFO badly and the UFO survives damaged.

And cases where the missile explodes before the UFO arrives and still gets a
kill!

I was just wondering - if one travels at great speed through the universe,
wouldn't anything hitting the craft one is traveling in cause it to
explode? So how about putting a cordon of whatever material (collect space
junk and put it in strategic places, for instance) in space around earth
and around the Moon (better choose the geostationary belt for this, else
they'll drift off or fall down on our heads), keeping a few areas clear for
our own craft, of course, and hope the UFOs bump into the things? Or is
that a completely illogical thought?

There was a space traveler named Wright
Who liked to go faster than light
He started one day
In a relative way
And came back the previous night!

Reminds me of one of my favourites (scenario: ST Fan TV show of a con.,
so.. can't promise this is 'sic'..)

(member of audience) "How, precisely, does the inertia-damping field
work?"

(script writer [smugly<g>]) "Very well, thank you!"
