The UK's first hotline - and possibly the galaxy's - for people who have been targeted by aliens has opened to the public. If you think you may have been visited by little green men (although, more commonly, little grey ones) but are worried your tales of probings and spinning spaceships will be laughed at - fear no longer.

The free service offers a listening ear for anyone who believes they have been contacted by someone from another universe, dimension or alternative reality. Joanne, a single lady in her 50s from Langley Mill, East Mids., said: "The helpline is the first port of call for people who have experiences in the realm of UFOs, contact and abductions.
