The 1958 British movie The Strange World of Planet X was retitled Cosmic Monsters in the US, in case it seems familiar to you. It was modeled after a TV series of the same name that ran in 1956. From Wikipedia:
A monomaniacal scientist creates ultra-sensitive, disruptive magnetic fields, which have unexpected side effects, while also attracting unidentified flying objects from outer space. Strange things begin to happen, including a freak storm, blasts of cosmic radiation that penetrates the Earth's normally protective magnetic shield, and insects and spiders mutating into giant flesh-eating monsters.The Strange World of Planet X was not a success, and is mostly remembered for its ridiculous and comically cheap special effects. (Thanks, WTM!)
