THE INVADERS
Science Fiction (1967-1968)

David Vincent - Roy Thinnes
Edgar Scoville - Kent Smith

The Invaders draws influence both from America's first missions into space which made ordinary people think about the possibility of contact with life from other planets.

The show revolves around the character of David Vincent, who has discovered that the Earth is being invaded by beings from another planet. These beings have taken human form, are virtually undetectable from human beings, and plan on conquering the earth.

Convincing his fellow citizens of this was 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.

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.
