Galaxy Invader[a] is a 1985 American direct-to-video science fiction film directed and co-written by Baltimore filmmaker Don Dohler.

When a glowing meteor-like object careens toward the Earth, a young student, David Harmon, is narrowly missed as it falls into the forest ahead of him.

As they slowly descend into the basement, they are terrified and knocked out or possibly killed by a green humanoid alien.

Joe's family conspire with Michael Smith, Carol's boyfriend, to set the alien free and return it home.

When they steal the weapons from Joe's sleeping hands, he suddenly wakes and pursues the group with a shotgun and corners them at the edge of a cliff.

Galaxy Invader was one of four movies Dohler made in Baltimore within a 10-year period, each of which had budgets ranging from as low as $4,000 to as high as $42,000.

In 2007, Galaxy Invader was also released on DVD as a double feature with the 1968 film Kong Island by Alpha Home Entertainment.
