Visitors 101 Our most distant cousins have been visiting us for millennia. It is only in relatively recent history since the invention of the camera that their surprisingly friendly visitations have been documented on film. Previously humans relied on written accounts or artistic depictions, some of which we hope to show you should they be released to us soon. However this evidence, when it occasionally surfaces is quickly confiscated or ridiculed and labelled as a hoax, so amazingly these visits remain merely a myth until this day. In dusty boxes hidden in shady museums and secure facilities these pictures are mostly hidden away indefinitely until someone discovers them and is brave enough to leak them onto the internet and into public consciousness. Here is our first batch of pictorial documentation of these visitors throughout the ages. Visitor 024 - c1980s Colin the Coleopterian In the sunny climes of Western Japan, a Japanese family formed an extraordinary friendship with the Coleoptera, an amicable alien species from the Betelgeuse star system. The Coleoptera, known for their fascination with fungi, visited Earth regularly to collect shiitake mushrooms and other fungi. The family's initial curiosity blossomed into a deep bond as they shared meals, stories, and cultural exchanges with their alien friends. The children marvelled at the Coleoptera's intricate exoskeletons and gentle nature, while the aliens delighted in the family's hospitality and traditional Japanese customs. Each visit, the Coleoptera and the family spent time exploring the lush forests together, foraging for mushrooms and sharing knowledge. The family taught the Coleoptera about Japanese cuisine and the art of mushroom cultivation, while the aliens shared tales of their home planet and advanced mycological techniques. Their mutual love of learning and respect for each other's cultures created a unique and enduring friendship, proving that despite vast distances and differences, common interests could bring beings from different worlds together in harmony.
