The aliens managed to quietly teleport into a series of underground tunnels and take advantage of a television broadcasting station, designing the satellite dish to broadcast false signals that affected human senses on a subliminal level, specifically covering subliminal messages such as 'MARRY AND REPRODUCE' and 'OBEY' hidden in seemingly ordinary places such as billboards, posters, and magazines, all of this meant to keep humanity subdued for their benefit.ДЄt some unknown point, a small group of humans began to figure out that things were not what they seemed to be. However, rather than outright invade, they opted for a more subtle approach.

This alien species does not have a specific name in the end credits of the movie two actors playing the aliens are referred to as 'Male Ghoul' and 'Female Ghoul', while in the source material short story Eight O'Clock in the Morning and its comic book adaptation Nada (which the movie was based on) they are named the 'Fascinators'.ДЄt some point by the late 20th century, these aliens arrived on Earth and attempted to take over the planet. It is said that they adapted their bodies to look humanoid for the invasion of Earth, therefore what is shown in the movie might not be their true form or perhaps they just don't have any and take the appearance of the dominant species of every planet they take over. However, they have blue skin, bulging eyes, and no lips. The aliens have a vaguely similar body structure to humans, enough that they can convincingly disguise themselves.
