Line 7:
(Not to be confused with [[Marvel Comics]]' World War II superhero comic book ''The Invaders'', or any other series involving alien invaders.)
The show was produced by Quinn Martin Productions (who made several other famous TV series of the time) for the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television network in 1967. The series follows the life of an architect named David Vincent who, by sheer chance, happened to witness the landing of an UFO after getting lost while driving one night. Discovering that aliens disguised as humans have infiltrated Earth and are planning to take over the world, Vincent sets out to thwart their plans and to find evidence of the invasion so he can warn the rest of humanity.
Apparently, the aliens -whose true form was never revealed- were an emotionless race from a dying world that had decided to take over the Earth to survive. Having physically altered themselves, they could easily pass for humans (though there were small signs that could be used to spot them, for example some of them could not bend their little fingers.) They also arranged it so that their bodies disintegrated if they died, leaving no evidence behind; in fact they were fanatically willing to kill anybody, including themselves, in order to hide their presence on Earth.
