UFO's, Aliens, and stuff

I think I need to clear something up. When someone says UFO, what they really mean is ASFOS. UFO = Unidentified flying object. Ball lightning, unknown bird, unknown aircraft, strange cloud, dude in a jet pack, etc. ASFOS = Alien Spacecraft From Outer Space. Little bug-eyed people who fly around scaring people, abducting people, abducting cows, landing in cornfields, etc. We have been conditioned to think of aliens as looking like this: A so-called "Grey Alien". From the cover of "Communion" a book by a guy named Whitley Strieber. 

 Or this...

   

Another example of a so called "Grey Alien" Of course, the image of the "Gray Alien" entered public consciousness thanks to the blockbuster movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"... The aliens in that movie looked like this...  

 So how did aliens come to look this way? We have to go back to a couple of people name Barney and Betty Hill. They claim they were abducted in 1961 by aliens and they made a big splash. Their description of their tormentors became the industry standard for aliens from outer space. It was the first of the big abduction stories, so kudos to them for originality...  

Barney and Betty Hill 

Here is their story if you feel like reading it:

Before Barney and Betty, aliens had a variety of looks. However, they were slowly evolving into the creatures we know and love... Let's look at a few examples...

In 1934 this illustration appeared in a pulp magazine. the story was called "If Tomorrow Comes"... it looks a lot like a modern grey alien head...  

In a cheesy drive in flick released in 1953 called "Invaders from Mars", the alien leader had the big head thing going...  

In 1954 another cheesy movie called "Killers From Space" was made. The aliens were basically human-like, but of special note were their bugged eyes, and the fact that the movie shows an abduction and experimentation on a human... just like in all subsequent abduction stories... Here's the alien with the scary eyes...  

Here is another poster showing a combo of the big head, big eyes, small body... movie is called "Invasion of the Saucer Men"... from 1957...  

Before all these bozos popularized the image of the generic "alien" image, aliens had a variety of appearances. They could look like birds, reptiles, blobs of substance, robots, or just the average man... personally one of the scariest aliens I've ever seen was this salt vampire from Star Trek... YIKES!  

 Another theory is that these things are actually DEMONS! Could be... there have been reports of people making these things disappear by invoking the name of Jesus Christ.
