Out of this world! Life-size alien doll is found buckled in the passenger seat of a speeding car in Georgia

  • A life-size alien doll was found buckled in the passenger seat of a speeding car
  • Motorcycle police officer in Alpharetta, Georgia, pulled the driver over Sunday
  • The driver was allegedly going 84mph and got off with a verbal warning
  • He did not explain why he was driving around the alien doll 

A police officer had something of an 'extraterrestrial encounter' when he pulled over a speeding driver.

The motorcycle police officer in Alpharetta, Georgia, stopped a driver for speeding on a suburban highway Sunday, and found what appeared to be an alien in the passenger seat. 

George Gordon, a spokesman for police in Alpharetta, said a life-size alien doll with big eyes and a large skull was sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

The alien doll was even buckled in on the highway north of Atlanta.

The driver was clocked at 84mph, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 

Though it wasn't quite warp speed, Gordon told The Associated Press: 'He did not mention as to "why" he had an out of this 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.

The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety tweeted two pictures of the alien on Sunday.

'Umm, the things you see during everyday patrol. #ET #doesthisqualifyforHOV #IndependenceDay' the department wrote. 

Though there are no HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lanes in Alpharetta, there are many throughout other parts of Atlanta.

The lanes require that two or more living and not pre-infant persons are in a car using the lane, according to WSBTV

After one Twitter user asked if the alien did help count towards the requirements for using an HOV lane, the Alpharetta DPS replied: 'Not on this planet.'

The driver was allegedly going 84mph, but got off with a verbal warning and some laughs from the officer who took pictures of the alien doll, which was even buckled in
