Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look
human -- but you can spot these visitors by looking for certain
tip-offs, say experts. They listed 10 signs to watch for:
1. Odd or mismatched clothes.
"Often space aliens don't fully understand the different
styles, so they wear combinations that are in bad taste, such
as checked pants with a striped shirt or a tuxedo jacket with
blue jeans or sneakers," noted Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO
investigator and author.
2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits. Space aliens might eat
French fries with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of
pills, the experts say.
3. Bizarre sense of humor. Space aliens who don't understand
earthly humor may laugh during a company training film or tell
jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.
4. Takes frequent sick days. A space alien might need extra time
off to "rejuvenate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton, a
theoretical biologist and futurist.
5. Keeps a written or tape-recorded diary. "Aliens are
constantly gathering information," said Steiger.
6. Misuses everyday items. "A space alien may use correction
fluid to paint its nails," said Steiger.
7. Constant questioning about customs of co-workers. Space
aliens who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask
questions that seem stupid, Easton said. "For example, a
co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on the Fourth
of July," noted Steiger.
8. Secretive about personal life-style and home. "An alien won't
discuss details or talk about what it does at night or on
weekends," said Steiger.
9. Frequently talks to himself. "A space alien may not be used
to speaking the way we do, so an alien may practice speaking,"
Steiger noted.
10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near certain high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood change when a microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger. The experts pointed out that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these traits before you can positively identify him as a space alien.
