You are on a island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, doing some sort of research on fish and such for the government with a group of other scientists. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, for one thing, you see a flying saucer. And then there are those little green flies that come out of the saucer and swarm over the island. But they are just little green flies, right?
Right.
A quick read from the pages of 1954's IF Worlds Of Science Fiction magazine. Made me think of a tv movie I once saw featuring William Shatner and hordes of tarantulas.

Lord of the flies.
Winston k marks brings us an alien invasion story. A sci fi short story from the forties and fifties. The story is a little nebulous, but plausible.

Entertaining, short alien invasion tale which does a good job of delivering the story in a succinct and gripping manner.
