The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, By William Golding
The Test For Humanity
On a cloudy afternoon a group of fishermen were on a boat in the middle of the ocean doing their job. What they did not was that an immense thunderstorm was near the corner.

Later at night they start to accuse each other they are the aliens because on some houses the lights went on. An old man that since the morning went on his own to check other neighbors if they have electricity comes back but later killed by Charlie with a shotgun thinking that he was the alien and that was trying to protect everyone from it. By the end of the episode they show the aliens not even with the neighbours but in a cliff. They were turning on and off electricity with a device. One of the aliens state that there is no better way to conquer the planet than making people become their own enemies. And that is also what happened in Lord of the Flies the kids become
