'Alien' caught on cop's camera

A policeman claims to have captured an image of an extraterrestrial life form while he was taking a picture of his son on a beach in Krabi province during the New Year holiday.

Pol Sen Sgt Maj Preecha Inwichian, of the Provincial Police Region, said on Wednesday that he was taking a snapshot with his smart phone of his son playing in the sand. When he looked at the image closely, he saw a small 'alien' standing in front of his son.

"The alien is about a foot tall, naked and has uncanny body parts. The photo was not edited and if any organisation wants to use the image for research they can contact the police station," said Pol Sen Sgt Maj Preecha.

When I read the headline - "Alien caught on cop's camera". My reaction - another farang in trouble in the land of smiles.

It does cast a shadow on the sand. I doubt the policeman would falsely claim a fake image because it made international news. The bottom line for me is, I don't know. If aliens are around I do wish they would introduce themselves.

What an amazing story! Usually, we hear all about how police-operated cameras don’t seem to work at critical moments. So this is a refreshing change.

By the way: will this alien have to sign in at Immigration every 90 days, just like the rest of us?

He picked a good place to holiday in Krabi. But he looks very undernourished. Where is he staying?
