Does anybody believe that this woman was ripped off or do you believe it is a hoax or false claim?
In response to nothing being written since in 30 years I will have to say that Margaret Mitchell only wrote one book in her lifetime.
AFAIR, The Terminator was loosely based on a Harlan Ellison ss, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream." When I saw it in theaters I remember thinking how much of the story it resembled, and was surprised not to see an acknowledgement to him in the credits. Then when I rented the VHS, they'd tacked on a screen that did just that. (Nobody messes with Ellison!)
ETA: I do not have a source for this, only my memory. Which is pretty good, but not useful as a source for citing.

Yep - that's it. That's her case.One of the major research and weapon systems development organizations on Earth was headed by a philosopher-scientist, Ikahan. His organization was instrumental in building the Spacestar, a huge vehicle . . . designed for inter-planetary warfare and space travel. . . .
t contained the most secret and highly advanced devices known at that time. The [leaders] commanded Ikahan to use the Spacestar as a vehicle for war against any people who resisted their tyranny. .
. . When all of the preparations were completed, the vessel left the orbiting dock where it had been constructed. . . . These orders clearly stated [that the] rebels on board the Spacestar [engage in interplanetary travel] and destroy . . . the consciousness of God from the population on Earth. .
. . The Spacestar fights many battles with Earth's fleet, pirates, and experiences space storms. Many are wounded, and others die. . . . Eventually, they are forced to land on the planet Sorr, ruled by Queen Johnny, that is completely operated by Machines powered by energy from the "Black Moons". The light from planet Sorr is such that it encompasses everything in darkness . . .
As they stand in the open, the surrounding heavens blaze with fire, lightning, thunderous roars, and other phenomenon. [The director] moves in for a medium close shot of Ikahn who is now standing . . . They are all naked and without shame. Ikahn retired to his quarters for meditation, and received notification from the [leaders] to open his secret orders.
These orders clearly specified . . . that the parties [engage in an] expedition of destruction . . . on Earth [for systematic termination of its future leaders].
And, I'd say, also (partly) on another Outer Limits episode, also written by Ellison, Demon With a Glass Hand.You're close: it was based on an Outer Limits episode that Harlan Ellison wrote called "Soldier."
