Aliens Incognito SCI-FI: stories about ALIENS living on Earth — concealing their True Identity to appear Human (by disguise or adapting themselves through genetic breeding to create Alien-Human Hybrids). Motivations may include: Observation and Study, Guiding Humanity, or Infiltration and Takeover.
The Invaders — (1967)
The Invaders is an American SCI-FI TV series that aired on ABC for two seasons.
Storyline
Architect David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) accidentally learns of a secret invasion of Aliens from outer space already underway– disguising themselves as humans and gradually infiltrating our world. He travels from place to place, trying to thwart the invasion despite the disbelief of officials and the general public. Vincent’s grim and lonely determination to find “tangible proof of the invaders’ existence” is undermined by the Aliens — who kill anyone who discovers them in ways disguised as a natural death.
Over time, Vincent is able to convince a small number of people to help him in his never ending fight.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers — (1978)
Storyline
Invasion of the Body Snatchers begins with a dying, Alien race that stumbles upon Earth, and lands quietly in San Francisco where they transform themselves into small pods. Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) a laboratory scientist at the San Francisco Health Department, stumbles upon some in a park, and picks off a pink flower growing out of one of them. Oblivious to the danger, she takes it home.
The next morning she finds her boyfriend, Dr. Geoffrey Howell (Art Hindle), acting odd. She tells, Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland), about it. He recommends she talk to his shrink/friend Dr. Kibner (Leonard Nemoy). Kibner logically says that Elizabeth is trying to sabotage her relationship with Geoffery so she can dump him.
In another part of town, where Matthew’s friends, Jack (Jeff Goldblum) and Nancy Bellicec (Veronica Cartwright), find a deformed body on a bed. They call Matthew to investigate. Matthew thinks the body looks similar to Jack. He then runs off to Elizabeth where he finds her clone growing in the bedroom garden. He whisks her away, and returns with police, but by then, Elizabeth’s double is long gone. Matthew assumes what he is seeing is out of this world and calls the government for help. Unfortunately, they push him to keep quiet so the public doesn’t panic.
Later, Matthew, Elizabeth, Jack, and Nicole doze off, and the Aliens nearly duplicate Matthew. Nicole wakes him and the group flees the house they are in. During their escape, the couples separate from one another. Matthew and Elizabeth end up at the office they work at. In time, the clones of Jack and Dr. Kibner arrive. They tell Matthew that what they are doing is the only way for their species to survive.
He sedates Matthew and Elizabeth so they will sleep, but they took speed beforehand to counteract its effects. Once again, the two escape. They reunite with Nancy, who tells them to hide their emotions to trick the Aliens. With that in mind, they go outside with the Aliens. Matthew and Elizabeth end up at the docks where they find a cargo ship.
Matthew runs off to get a closer look. When he returns, he finds that Elizabeth has fallen asleep, and her Alien clone has risen. He then sets fire to the warehouse; destroying many pods. As this happens, Elizabeth’s clone rats out Matthew and he flees.
In the morning, Matthew watches some children shuffle into a theater for conversion. Nancy, who has been successful hiding among the aliens, sees him and tries to talk to him. He turns and points at her with the Alien scream. She too lets out a shriek of terror.
“V” Miniseries — (1983)
Inspired by It Can’t Happen Here (a 1935 dystopian novel by Sinclair Lewis about a fictional politician who quickly rises to power, becoming America’s first dictator) director–producer Kenneth Johnson in 1982 scripted a miniseries entitled Storm Warnings. NBC executives rejected the original idea, which they considered too cerebral for the average viewer. To make the story more marketable, it was revised into an “Alien invasion” story. It premiered as V on American TV May 3, 1983.
Storyline
Aliens arrive on Earth in huge, saucer-shaped motherships and reveal themselves, appearing human (in red, Nazi-like uniforms) but requiring special glasses to protect their eyes. They initially pose as humanity’s friends, promising to share advanced technology. When strange events begin to occur, a TV journalist (Marc Singer) discovers that beneath their human-like façade, the Visitors are carnivorous reptilian humanoids. They interrupt his broadcast, taking control of the media.
Key humans are subjected to mind-control which turns them into Alien pawns, while others are subjected to horrifying biological experiments. A Resistance movement (symbolized by a blood-red letter V for Victory) means to expose the Visitors’ true purpose: to conquer planet Earth, steal its water and harvest the human race as food. Humans strike their first blow against the Aliens, obtaining weapons from National Guard armories to carry on the fight … but the war is not over.
The original miniseries ends with Visitors virtually controlling the Earth. Humans send a transmission into space to ask other Alien races for help. (Followed by V: The Final Battle and V: The Series.)
Roswell — (1999)
Roswell is an American SCI-FI TV series that presents a timeline where the Roswell UFO exists, and Aliens are hiding in plain sight as a trio of high school-aged teenagers. The show is built on their relationships with humans.
Storyline
Living among the citizens of the infamous New Mexico city of Roswell are some (three young Alien/human hybrids with extraordinary gifts — gifts that are “not-of-this-earth”) who are not there by choice. They are there to follow a destiny given to them by the members of their dying race, a race that they are someday destined to save.
For the past 10 years, Max Evans (Jason Behr) his sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl) and his best friend Michael Guerin (Brendan Fehr) have been living a somewhat normal existence, with their hybrid biology of human and Alien DNA helping them to fit in. Surviving descendants from beings on board the fiery crash of an Alien spacecraft that popular legend says plummeted to the desert in 1947, the three teenagers have grown up quietly among the Roswell residents since emerging from incubation. Their peaceful existence was shattered the day Max forged an otherworldly connection with fellow classmate Liz Parker (Shiri Appleby) by using his mysterious powers to heal her gunshot wound, putting aside a pact of secrecy and ultimately risking his own life.
With this simple twist of fate, their secret is sacrificed and their identity exposed, forced to trust Liz and her best friends Maria DeLuca and Alex Whitman in order to stay one step ahead of forces from this world and beyond that would do anything to destroy them. They are also aided by Sheriff Valenti (Michael Trevino) who is driven by a very personal need to learn the truth about what happened on that fateful night in 1947.
Resident Alien — (2021)
Resident Alien is an American SCI-FI mystery comedy-drama TV series about an ALIEN sent to destroy Humanity but starts to understand human emotions and helps solve local crimes while posing as a doctor. (Based on the comic book of the same title by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse.)
Storyline
After crash-landing on Earth in a small Colorado town, an Extraterrestrial (Alan Tudyk) sent to wipe out humanity kills a vacationing physician and takes on his identity. He is asked to do an autopsy on the town’s doctor, who has died in unknown circumstances, and eventually takes over for the doctor at the town’s clinic. He wrestles with the moral dilemma of his secret mission, while also dealing with the mayor’s young son, who can see his true Alien appearance. He develops compassion for humanity and ends up defending them from other Extraterrestrial threats.
The series explores themes of identity, morality, and the challenges of fitting in.
Aliens Incognito SCI-FI presents a view of Life on Earth from an ALIEN perspective — appearing Human to conceal their True Identity (by disguise or adaptive breeding to create Alien-Human Hybrids). According to UFO Abduction researcher David M. Jacobs, (Walking Among Us, 2015) this process has already been underway for decades — Hybrids adapting to blend in with the help of human Abductees (who really have no choice).
An invisible CHANGE is happening … with Aliens adapting to life on Earth.
Hopefully, it will make the world a better place.
