"The Chameleon" is an episode of the original "The Outer Limits" television show. It first aired on 27 April, 1964, during the first season.
Opening narration
"The race of Man is known for its mutability. We can change our moods, our faces, our lives to suit whatever situation confronts us. Adapt and survive. Even among the most changeable of living things, Man is quicksilver-more chameleon-like than the chameleon, determined to survive, no matter what the cost to others... or to himself."
Plot
A flying saucer has landed in a remote part of the United States and wiped out a military patrol sent to investigate. Concerned that the saucer contains nuclear material, the authorities decide on a wild scheme: send Mace, an alienated CIA daredevil, to infiltrate the ship. Genetically modified to pass as an alien, Mace finds that he is beginning to think as an alien, and begins to question his allegiance - and his very nature.
Closing narration
"A man's survival can take many shapes, and the shape in which a man finds his humanity is not always a human one."
