The elves awoke at Cuiviénen from the sleep Eru placed them in. Eärendil possessed a spaceship, but it was given to him by the Valar, and he was only born millenia later. I'm not sure where this nonsense about being aliens comes from.

''It is told that even as Varda ended her labours, and they were long, when first Menelmacar strode up the sky and the blue fire of Helluin flickered in the mists above the borders of the world, in that hour the Children of the Earth awoke, the Firstborn of Ilúvatar. By the starlight mere of Cuiviénen, Water of Awakening, they rose from the sleep of Ilúvatar; and while they dwelt yet silent by Cuiviénen their eyes beheld first of all things the stars of heaven. Therefore they have ever loved the starlight, and have revered Varda Elentári above all the Valar.''
