ABC Science Fiction

One of the most durable science-fiction ideas is the one that questions the very
reality of what we see around us. Could there be aliens in our midst? Architect
David Vincent certainly thought so. He had witnessed the landing of a flying saucer,
and stumbled onto an incredible secret: that scattered throughout the world's
population, disguised as humans, was an advanced guard of alien creatures from
a dying planet, who were preparing to conquer the earth!
Convincing his fellow citizens of this was of course no easy task, so Vincent went
on a one-man crusade to obtain solid evidence and warn mankind of the dangers it
faced, while trying not to fall into the clutches of the aliens. Identifying the
enemy was tricky, but it could be done. Sometimes the invaders would have slightly
mutated hands, such as a little finger jutting out awkwardly; sometimes, though
rarely, they would begin to glow when they were in need of regeneration to retain
human form. And of course, they had no pulse or heartbeat,
because they had no hearts.
For the first few months Vincent fought a lonely, largely undercover battle.
Eventually, feeling that he was a bit too lonely to be plausible, the producers
gave him some allies, a group of seven others who also learned the secret and
wanted to help. His chief confederate, who joined the show in December 1967, was
Edgar Scoville, the head of an electronics firm.
Could it really happen? Well, you never know, but actor Roy Thinnes, in a bit of
promotional hype released by the ABC press department, claimed that he had actually
seen a UFO during the filming of the series. Then again, maybe he is one of them...
