What's New in this Episode
-
We are introduced to David Vincent - an architect from Santa Barbara,
California, a typical member of middle-class America.
- Despite coming from a 'respectable' background, David Vincent's claims
are met by disbelief and astonishment, even by his business partner.
-
The Invaders look like ordinary human beings, but they are obviously extremely
different in reality, witness the glowing of the campers.
-
Some of aliens also have mutated fourth fingers, something which is easily
spotted, but hardly raises ordinary people's suspicions.
-
The Invaders make use of large 'person-sized' transparent tubes which
are lethal to human beings.
-
The Invaders use 'flying saucer' spaceships. This presumably explains
why there are so many UFO sightings of this type of spacecraft.
-
When not in disguise, the Invaders wear green overalls. Cf. Orwell's
1984, where outer party members wear blue overalls
Unanswered Questions
-
What was the 'glowing' that happened to the camper?
