A man claims that he has been chosen to introduce aliens to the human race.
Michael Alans says that he has experienced strange interactions with extraterrestrials since he was a toddler and is adamant that he has been abducted a number of times.
The forklift truck driver also draws detailed images of his abductors but has been banned from talking about aliens at home by his wife.
Alans, who hails from Bolton in the UK, told the Daily Star: "It will always be a mystery why they chose me. I believe that it has something to do with the fact that where I grew up was so isolated there would be not witnesses to the abduction, but they have never told me why.
"My earliest memory of an alien is when I was just a child, I can remember feeling something stroke my head, I thought it was my mother but when I opened my eyes I was shocked and terrified as it was a creature, a grey alien sat where my mother should have been!
"As a young lad I could not grasp what I had experienced, but I eventually realised that I had been chosen and there was a very clear campaign for the visitors to get to me."
