I'm not sure if this qualifies as 'aliens' but...I have a magic coalshed. When I go out to get coal on a windy rainy night my family/friends think I've been gone just a few minutes. Actually I've been to a Greek island for a two week break! If I could transport this 'time machine' I'd visit other friends, and when they look a bit bored, transport them and myself. We may appear to have gone into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee but....!

Oooh the possibilites!! (Oh dear now my imagination is running wild)
Happy New Year everyone.
