A friend in England has taken a picture of what looks like an alien. In his kitchen, no less.

The drama started when he noticed that a pile of change had inexplicably formed into a graceful semi-spiral of the kind often seen in fractal-based crop formations. He immediately picked up his digital camera and documented the strange configuration of coins. The first photo looks directly down at the table and the coins. For the second, he stepped back slightly for context. The third image is taken from a different angle and shows a small portion of the kitchen.

By this time my friend was experiencing a sense of being watched, and clicked a fourth image from the same vantage as the third. To his bewilderment, this one shows his kitchen bathed in a weird, orange-brown glow. The overall impression is murky, and I suspect something fouled up his camera. Nevertheless, a diminutive humanoid figure is visible.

Having looked at the image, I don't think it's a fortuitous juxtaposition of furniture; the "alien" figure is symmetrical and very much like the classic "Gray," albeit with what looks like an elongated chin and no visible hands or feet. It's mostly in silhouette, making analysis difficult.

Although small, England has a long, perplexing history of unexplained phenomena, from UFO sightings to "hauntings." Monuments such as Stonehenge were likely built, in part, to take advantage of electromagnetic "window areas" in which normal objective consciousness is altered by the Earth's own geomagnetic synapses. My friend's unexplained visitor, like UFOs and crop circles, may be an oblique manifestation of hidden forces.
