ARTICLES RELATED TO Alien invasion

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia - Alien invasion

The alien invasion is a common theme in science fiction stories and film, in which a technologically-superior extraterrestrial society invades Earth with the intent to replace human life, or to enslave it under a colonial system. The invasion scenario has been used as an allegory for a protest against military hegemony and the societal ills of the time. Wells' The War of the Worlds is often viewed as an indictment of European colonialism and its "gunboat diplomacy" —setting a common theme for future alien invasion stories, that force audiences in modern societies (U.S., UK) to em ...

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia II - Alien invasion - Variations
The most well-known alien invasion scenarios involve the aliens landing on Earth, destroying or abducting people, fighting and defeating Earth's military forces, and then destroying Earth's major cities. Usually the bulk of the story follows the battles between the invaders and Earth's armies, as in The War of the Worlds. However, not all alien invasion stories follow this plot. In some accounts, the alien invaders will covertly subvert human society using disguises, shapechanging, or human allies. In other depictions, the aliens scor ...

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia II - Alien invasion - Notable examples

The classic treatment was The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Other treatments have posited biological invasions (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), or cultural invasion (The Uplift Wars by David Brin). The 1988 cult film They Live uses its own alien infiltration backstory as a satire on what some perceived as Reagan's America and the 1980s as an era of conspicuous consumption, in which the hidden aliens and human members of the elite oppress po ...

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia II - Extraterrestrial life in popular culture - Extraterrestrial life in fiction

The existence of alien beings (intelligent extraterrestrial life) has been one of the enduring themes of science fiction. One of the first fiction writers to use alien beings from another planet was H. G. Wells. The War of the Worlds is the best known of his works; it also introduced the modern reader to the recurring concept of interplanetary invasion by malign aliens. The alien invasion was one of two themes which was to crop up again and again in the 'pulp science fiction' years, the 1930s to 1960s. The Cold War made ...

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia - Extraterrestrial life

Extraterrestrial life is life that may exist and originate outside the planet Earth. Its existence is currently hypothetical: there is as yet no evidence of extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by scientists. Most scientists hold that if extraterrestial life exists, its evolution would have occurred independently in different places in the universe. An alternative hypothesis, held by a minority, is panspermia, which suggests that life in the universe could have stemmed from a single initial distribution of spores ...

Alien invasion: Encyclopedia - Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic science fiction

Apocalyptic science fiction is a sub-genre of science fiction that is concerned with the end of civilization, through nuclear war, plague, or some other general disaster. Post-apocalyptic science fiction is set in a world or civilization after such a disaster.

Greys - Descriptions. Greys are generally depicted as short, (around 3.5 feet tall) slender humanoids with hairless grey skin (hence the name) and large heads with enormous black almond-shaped eyes and small (often lipless) mouths. Some note that this resembles a neotenous human, i.e., a human with infant-like features. Others have compared the appearance of Greys to that of a fetus. Yet others still have noticed that the stereotypical humanoid features of the Greys, (slanted eyes, slender body, relatively hairless skin as well as supposed "braininess") most resembles stereotypes of the " ...
