Many techniques were attempted to portray the aliens, who were played by little kids in rubber suits. One involved shooting them at normal speed while they moved through a sea of mimes dressed as technicians. The mimes would make slow motion movements so that when the film was sped up, the mimes looked normal and the aliens would appear to run about with super-human quickness. Flailing their arms and long hands about, they would somewhat resemble bugs. Another idea was to suspend them on wires and have them fly. The mothership was supposedly in a lower gravity field (this line remains in the final cut of the movie as the ship lands: Watch for dizziness and low gravity.) and Neary was even supposed to float up as he walked into the ship at the end. All of these ideas were eventually cut.
