The Colony
A couple named Michael and Mary are looking for a peaceful getaway in nature. When they see a strange flying object in the sky, they decide to tell the police in the small town of Colony, New Hampshire, but this gets them into serious trouble with the authorities.
Michael and Mary just want to spend some quiet time away with nature. After spotting a UFO, they stop in the sleepy town of Colony, New Hampshire to report it but find themselves in deep trouble with the law.
While on an automobile vacation, Michael and Mary Duncan sight a UFO on the highway, on the edge of a town called Colony. Unsure that anyone will believe them, the Duncans stop and report it to Colony’s sheriff, who surprisingly takes them seriously—too seriously. However, when the sheriff puts them in jail, the Duncans realize that they had better find a way to escape this town, where all the people seem to be possessed—before it’s too late.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
