    What did the alien look like ?

    A pink elephant, I'd imagine.

      I am honestly not sure what to think about such a post... Alcohol ? Brainfart ? I am just speechless right now.

        You do know the context of the phrase "pink elephant", don't you?

            I was setting up my camera last night to do some time-lapse photos of the night sky. Saw a shooting star - and was really annoyed at myself for not having the camera ready! But the star didn't disappear after a second or two - it got brighter... And it landed - in the woods behind our house - seriously! I ran and jumped over the fence - and there in the middle of the trees was, well, a flying saucer - there's no other way of describing it. It was metal by the looks of it, certainly ticking with heat. It was dark so I could only really see a silhouette - no glowing lights here. There was a noise - and an alien - yep - seriously - an alien walked out, walked up to me and spoke. (I was wondering if I had time to dash back and get my camera but was too scared to leave in case it went away!) Anyway - it spoke quite clearly, in slightly muffled English. It told me a bunch of stuff I won't go into, but didn't respond when I spoke at all. When it finished what it was saying, it turned, marched back to the 'saucer' which then took off - vertically and all but silently, into the night. I went back this morning, and there's no sign of, well, anything at all! Not even a scorched leaf that I can see (I marked the spot by laving my jumper there, so I know exactly where it was) Astonishing.

            Are you on the underside of the world on some sort of massive coordinated wind up? A Facebook friend of mine who lives in Oz posted a load of photographs of UFOs hovering over Brisbane around the same time you posted and is acting as if they are genuine. I'm getting a little worried now, if aliens have made contact they're going to think we're all like the Australians, this cannot end well.

              Curious. Were you aware that that song was written and originally recorded by a group named Klaatu? And that the group named Klaatu went on to become the Alan Parsons Project? Most people aren't, because the line-up of Klaatu was (and probably still is) a fiercely guarded secret. (Naughty me) I do love a good coincidence.

              I think I might have known that in the back of my mind somewhere. Thinking back on what the alien told me, some of it almost hinted at Klaatu's message (in the movie)

                I know it sounds almost stupid, but I find it really hard to describe. It was definately humanoid - two arms, two legs - and it seemed to walk. It had a floor length what, poncho, I guess - plain colour (it was vey dark) I'd guess either grey or a dark blue. Its head was large - for its body - it probably came up to my nipples or a bit smaller, but I'd guess its head was about the same size as mine. It had no hair, but quite a lumpy scull. Two forward facing eyes - but they didn't move or blink that I noticed - that was probably the creepiest thing about it - it looked like it was just staring the whole time. I thought afterwards it might have been a mask - but I don't know. Maybe a helmet - which might explain the seeming large head. Arms were short and stubby and very animated as it spoke. It's mouth definitely moved - so maybe not a mask- but it was a bit like watching a dubbed movie, or one out of synch - but again, it was very dark.

                      If I put myself in your shoes I'd be the same - it's just weird. Something like this happens and it affects everything! I've told nobody except on here - I figure I'm reasonably anonymous enough to not be traced and hassled by the loony fringe (although, now I've experienced this, are they the looney fringe at all!!) I mean, I don't believe in this shit. not a bit. But it just friggin' happened to me, in my own back yard! Then I went to bed, got up ,went to work. What should I do? There's the stuff that the alien said - the bits I sort of understood - and I don't know what to do about that either. Go to the press? call the cops? There was nothing threatening about it at all - just like having a (very one-sided) chat down the pub with someone who comes from an artificial planet a long way away. who has opinions. There was no magic, no ultra science-fiction death rays (although the 'saucer' it came in was pretty cool!) just, as I said, a chat! I'm getting drunk right now - perhaps that will straighten things out :)
