The former Beatle tried to partner with sci fi pioneer Isaac Asimov for a story about beings from another planet taking over "Wings." But it never happened. 

What would you have seen if it had?

“A ‘flying saucer’ lands. Out of it get five creatures. They transmute before your very eyes into ‘us’ [Wings],” McCartney’s original treatment reads. “They are here to take over Earth by taking America by storm and they proceed to do this supergroup style. Meanwhile — back in the sticks of Britain — lives the original group, whose personalities are being used by the aliens…”

Asimov expanded on the story, evolving the alien invaders into “energy-beings” from a dying planet who sought to occupy the Wings members rather than clone them. However, the beings were unable to comprehend human emotions like love, adding a philosophical layer to the narrative."

But Asimov and McCartney couldn't agree on the story line and this craft never landed.
