This short quicktime film was sent to me by anonymous e-mail with the word "Alien" written in the title . It's appears to be security camera footage of a very short person, dressed in a suit walking across one level of a parking garage. Strange but not freaky.

Is it an alien? Other than the obvious short nature of the person, the head does not look quite right to be human.. The eyes are also either bigger than normal or the person is wearing large sunglasses. The location does not help give us any clues other than having several cars which look to be 90's models. This gives us a rough time frame but nothing more. The information printed on the screen would lead us to believe that it was filmed in a English speaking country. A closer look reveals that the font does not seem to match the grain of the image. This could mean that the info was added at a later date to mislead us. Or it could be that the quality of the image is affected by the camera and the information is added by a computer which does not suffer this flaw in the lens.

Putting this all aside, if it is an alien then why is dressed in a suit with a hat and walking across a nearly deserted parking garage?

One theory I have stumbled across in various UFO studies is the "wacky alien" idea. Wacky aliens are another species of outer space visitors that have landed on earth but are not as smart and cunning as the more sinister gray aliens. Wacky aliens can often be found trying to fit in and interact with the local human population. They do this by trying to mimic human behavior but because they are wacky they don't get it quite right. You might find a wacky alien trying to smoke 4 cigarettes at once. Or wearing a three piece suit, backwards. Such behavior must be frowned upon by the higher level aliens since these sort are rarely seen.

So is this a wacky alien we have walking across the camera? Could be. Of course it could also be a joke made by drunk frat brothers who hired a midget. It's impossible to say.
