What did the fairy-like alien reportedly say about the appearance of the human being? What does one of the UFOs mentioned in the recording look like? Where do aliens and UFOs come from according to some people? Listening script Have you ever seen a UFO or an alien? Many people around the world claim they have. What did they see? Some people have said they saw a spinning silver disc in the sky and a pointed-eared, cat-eyed alien. Others claim seeing a one-eyed, colossal creature with an elongated head walking out of an oval-shaped disk. Still others report seeing a midget-sized, green man with velvet skin floating around an orb of bright white light. One person even reported having a conversation with a fairy-like alien. The alien kept repeating, “Don't be alarmed. Don't panic. You look as strange to me as I do to you. Your head is so tiny, your body so bulky. Your legs so long and thin and they look so weak, your skin so pink and hairy and you have bulging eyes.“ One UFO reportedly landed in American Samoa, near a tiny fishing village tucked between the blue ocean and steep cliffs. The village natives believe the area where it landed is a holy place and that the alien visitors must have known this. Magical red stones are found there, and they claim that these stones contain spiritual energies which have aided mental and physical healing for generations. The natives long ago built a huge stone circle at the site and a Snake Mound, a snake-like sculpture five feet high and fifty feet wide. The form begins with an open mouth and, after going through seven major curves, ends 1,300 feet later with a tightly coiled tail. The UFO landed, they said, in front of the open mouth of the snake-like sculpture. Are these people who are reporting UFO and alien sightings having visions? Is this a case of mass hysteria or delusion? Or have they in fact seen beings from outer space and alien spacecraft? Some people believe they are real and come not from other worlds in our universe but from unseen, other dimensions of reality. Science cannot explain it. Indeed, science
