Aliens Among Us (They're Here!)David
Gorham. Our first encounter with these visitors from
outer space occurred with Aliens Landing (In Your
Back Yard!). We met them again when they attacked
in Alien Invasion, and here they come again! They
must have liked it here because they decided to
stay. They're so well disguised they blend right in,
but their delightfully spooky and eerie sounds give
them away as they try to hide among us.
