The aliens (their race and planet being unnamed), are from "far, far away". They bear some resemblance to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but have landed on Earth to conduct research on the planet. Their invasion was somehow authorized by the United States government, and they release their "crystallized" prisoners before they leave.

Throughout the film, the aliens are shown to grow hot or ill very quickly at room temperature, suggesting that their planet is considerably cooler than Earth. The fact that they have no need for breathing apparatus suggests that its atmosphere also contains oxygen.

They are led on Earth by an alien posing as guest-house manager, Arthur Newman (no relation to Margaret), although their main leader, who appears close to the end, is only credited as "First Alien". Where Arthur Newman seems sly, aggressive and arrogant, the First Alien seems more compassionate and understanding. The First Alien tries to reason with Bigelow about his daughter, while Arthur simply crystallizes those who defy him.

Other aliens featured in the film include The Avon Lady, The Man in Dark Glasses and a gang of Rockers.
