The Without Warning creatures have teeth, tentacles and a glow in the dark ring around their edge, though.

Yes. I still think the similarities outweigh the differences though. Anyone making horror, fantasy, or sci-fi movies in the 70s and 80s must have eaten up Star Trek and The Twilight Zone when they were kids.

Both the alien and his frisbee jellyfish creatures were lifted from star Trek.
The alien looks very similar to the alien in the Corbomite Maneuver episode.

The Frisbee suckers were from Operation Annihilate.

I always wondered if both weren't inspired by It Conquered the World! though those flying critters are a bit bat-like.
