Speeding man had alien doll as passenger

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police say a motorcycle officer who stopped a driver for speeding on a suburban highway north of Atlanta had an ‘extraterrestrial encounter’ — sort of.

George Gordon, a spokesman for police in Alpharetta, said when the officer pulled the man over Sunday, a life-sized doll of a big-eyed, large-skulled alien was riding in the front passenger seat.

The Atlanta JournalConstitution first reported the encounter, saying the driver was clocked at 84 mph. Not quite warp speed, and Gordon later told The Associated Press, “He did not mention as to ‘why’ he had an out-ofthis world passenger.”

The driver got off with a verbal warning — and some laughs from the officer — who took photographs of the safety-belted alien police later posted on social media.
