Aliens From Earth is about alien races living on (or within) Earth, not humans living on other planets. Changed My Jumper is when a time traveller *doesn\'t* make an effort to blend in. That entire long response is entirely irrelevant to the trope. The episode was filmed and aired in 1968, the same year in which it is set.
