Summary "The Missing Disclaimer" by Samuel J. Sackett is a short science fiction story likely written in the mid-20th century. The narrative centers on the implications of a missing legal disclaimer in a science fiction magazine, which inadvertently tips off an alien invader to the precarious nature of their operations on Earth. The story blends humor and intrigue, exploring themes of identity, deception, and the unexpected consequences of seemingly trivial details. The plot follows K-17, a Rigelian alien disguised as a human, who becomes alarmed after reading a story in "Atomic Science Stories" that parallels his own situation and hints at the existence of other Rigelian operatives on Earth. As he reads about a capture of a fellow Rigelian, K-17 grapples with the possibilities of human advancements in space travel being uncovered, leading to a crisis in security for his alien race. The tension escalates as he realizes the editorial oversight might expose their covert mission. The narrative culminates in subtle irony, reflecting on how a simple omission can unravel complex operations and lead to significant misunderstandings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
