1950s paranoia in the 1960s as architect David Vincent sees a flying saucer — something which he finds impossible to prove to the authorities — and subsequently uncovers an alien plan to take over the Earth.
Luckily for the budget these aliens are able to take on human form, with the only giveaway being their little fingers which stick out.
The second and final season saw a slight change of direction as Vincent finally found some believers, rather strangely known as The Believers!
A four-hour mini-series picked up the story in 1995 with Roy Thinnes making just a cameo appearance as Vincent.

The Invaders orbit the earth in flying saucers. Some have already landed. The others are waiting.
The Invaders are merciless, inhuman creatures from a dying planet. They know more about science than we do. They have weapons of incredible power.
The Invaders have already begun to take over. Their scouts have settled among us. Their agents have infiltrated our highest councils.
The Invaders must be stopped! But only one man — David Vincent — even knows they exist!
Back Cover Blurb — Corgi Books
At this very moment, advance patrols of hostile aliens from a doomed planet are circulating among us, investigating our environment, measuring us for conquest. Who are they? Where are they? Having the facility to assume human form, they go about virtually undetectable. They can be anyone, anywhere...
