I would think
The Thing from Another World and The Day the Earth Stood Still tie for it in 1951..

I'd guess-
The Thing from Another World (1951)

maybe The Man from Planet X (also '51)

but it was probably a Serial from the 30s or 40s.......

.................

In Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940), Ming sends a ship to earth to sprinkle the purple death dust [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] prior to his invasion...

then there's Republic's 15-part serial The Purple Monster Strikes (1945), (aka D-Day on Mars) with one of the first instances of alien invasion.

And in Columbia's 15-episode serial Bruce Gentry - Daredevil of the Skies (1949), the hero (Tom Neal) fought off the genre's first flying saucers.
