Line 28:
* [[Oculothorax]]: The Aliens.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The aliens can copy humans and their memories, but give themselves away through their [[Uncanny Valley|awkward speech patterns and ability to stare into the sun without blinking]].
* [[We Come in Peace, Shoot To Kill]]: Played out on a small scale with the sheriff who wants to go in with a posse and the amateur astronomer who's willing to trust that the aliens are telling the truth. However the trope is subverted on both sides -- humans and aliens are portrayed as fearful and suspicious of each other, yet in reality both are reasonable. The locals just want their friends (who are being held hostage) returned unharmed, while the aliens just want to repair their spaceship and leave without trouble.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: In the sequel, a coyote is duplicated as well. This is not addressed by the end.
