On November 21, 2018, an anonymous user on 4chan had posted an image to the paranormal board /x/ of what was claimed to be an alien. The image was accompanied with the following text:

"This was a picture that was taken from inside a car that I was working on. Full story was that I was working on it about at 11pm and I heard a bang on the front of the car. I thought it was a raccoon so I took a picture with flash to scare it off, But when I took a picture I got this. Having seeing this I turned on my flashlight only to see that it had disappeared. I had matched up the picture next to the car and the wall behind it and measured how tall it would be, and it was about 8 feet. Can anybody tell me if this was a prank on me or if this was real. Honestly I think it’s real."

After extensive digging by fellow users of the board, it was determined to be a hoax.

Appearance

The alien resembled a typical grey alien but with slight differences. Instead of purely black eyes, it had discernable pupils and an iris. It was also taller than grey aliens are usually described.
