This week top alien and UFO experts are gathering at London’s Royal Society to address questions such as how do you announce alien discoveries to the world, while answering recent theories that extra-terrestrials are more likely to be living on Earth in volcanoes and deserts (places were humans would struggle to survive) than they are in space.
In honour of extra-terrestrial life forms, we take a look at history’s 10 most famous alien encounters.
Fifty years before Roswell in 1897, Texas had its own aliens to contend with when a reported crash meant that the residents of Aurora (population 3000) had a strange alien body to deal with.
Rather than dealing with any extra-terrestrial science, Aurora residents decided to bury the alien in the local graveyard and dispose of its craft down a well.
