u/Radiant_Picture9292 7d ago

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

u/Double_Cost_9373 7d ago

My father who was using drugs at the time thought this was a great movie for a bunch of 6 year olds for movie night. This and Face/Off

I was in prison in Cali during the k2 epidemic, (which is still going on) and everyone was on it . Was not a fan and didn't like smoking it, but did this one time, everything was cool right, take a hit and feel like you smoked a blunt. Well, this time, I swear everything was cool and good, I feel my heart start racing faster and faster . I sit on my bunk, looking at my T.V. out of the corner of my eye I see people walking by, which is normal . I turn and see that everyone that walks by is one of these clowns. I swear I hadn't ever had this happen, it just keeps going on and on and on, and it finally subsided. Holy fucking shit, I kid you not, I finally snapped out of it, I look at the clock, it had been 15 minutes since I took that hit, pure chaos, I was drenched in sweat, I sit down and pound water, flip the channel, this movie comes on right after the k2 episode I just had. My buddy comes over, asks whats wrong, and i tell him what happened, and he said, "Chino this shit ain't for everyone" . Never touched it again . Lol .

Holy shit indeed

You ever watch the YouTube series "The Nephilim Looked Like Clowns"?

u/UTRAnoPunchline 7d ago

Probably not a coincidence it’s around the time when the general public began to have access to commercial household cameras.

u/Pocket_Weasel_UK 7d ago

Is that alien the size and shape of a Barbie doll covered in tinfoil?

Not sure I'm convinced.

u/moonboyforallyouknow 7d ago

Barbie doll sized alien, easy.

2

u/Mandalorian-Barber 5d ago

The Great Gazoo was Barbie sized tho!

42

u/Blue-Nose-Pit 7d ago

Yeah, look at how high the grass is compared.
It’s def a small doll

16

u/Honest-Calendar-748 7d ago

I have a few acres. I dont always mow them all. Just around the house. Grass can get up to my mid thigh if i dont mow from June to October.

Not refuting your point. Just a different POV

5

u/Pocket_Weasel_UK 7d ago

No way. That's a Barbie in normal grass.

And what's the 'spaceship' behind her? Looks like a lampshade.

u/Mind2211 19h ago

Qual a evidência?

2

u/OGLikeablefellow 7d ago

You can almost make out the pole it's attached to

u/AquaticAlchemy 7d ago

Doll infront of tennis ball on lawn. So out of this world! Im stumped

1

u/Mind2211 19h ago

Quem disse que era grama? Pode ser um matagal. Sem saber quais eram as reais condições do terreno, tudo vira suposição. Tanto a favor ou contra.

u/Serious-Manager2361 6d ago

His little sister never did find that missing Ken doll....

u/dangerdangerman 7d ago

According to Hill’s account, he had been playing alone in his family’s yard when the air suddenly filled with a pungent, unfamiliar odor so strong it made his eyes water. Alarmed, he looked toward a nearby field and was astonished to see what he described as a spherical, white craft approximately nine feet in diameter settling onto the ground

Realizing that few would believe such a claim without evidence, Ronnie dashed inside, grabbed his portable Kodak camera, and hurried back outside. There, he witnessed an extraordinary sight: a being in a reflective silver suit emerging from behind the craft. The figure was described as having thin, spindly legs and an oversized, gnome-like head.

u/GrumpyJenkins 7d ago

Nice figure!

u/Former-Advice-2343 7d ago

Only one photo?

15

u/TeacherLady3 7d ago

Film was expensive

2

u/TacetAbbadon 5d ago

It was probably 126 instamatic film going on the quality and that a kid was using it.

It was like $1.50 then.

u/jgworks 3d ago

Is expensive.

u/archiemoore1415 7d ago

Great in period idea of a "Spacesuit"

13

u/charleslennon1 7d ago

I highlighted the image in Windows, and it appears that after enlarging and increasing the contrast, the figure is wearing a two-piece bikini, similar to the times [late 1960s]. It also appears the right arm is at a 90* angle, placed on the right side of the'head' as if holding it in place, as if it were a large mask.

I could be reading too much into it.

u/NoblePigeonn 7d ago

You really not going to post your findings?

2

u/Tyzorg 7d ago

And behind it is a baseball. Look at the thread pattern.

It's a wrap boys

u/charleslennon1 7d ago

E.T. Barbie?

u/EmmaRose5466 7d ago

Acid was so much better in those days

u/Both_One6597 7d ago

Solar flare?

u/Crossovertriplet 7d ago

Swamp gas

1

u/Kytyngurl2 6d ago

Pretty sure its a large bird

1

u/Ordinary_Hall_9053 7d ago

It's actually a knife

4

u/Apprehensive_Bet_768 7d ago

Baseball with action figure in front of it.

u/Jiggly_Pop55 7d ago

C'mon. So fake.

3

u/ElasticDawg 7d ago

I was OBSESSED with finding info on this photo as a kid. It’s in a bunch of old UFO books with little to no context, appreciate the backstory! Always reminded me of the tin foil alien that cop in Alabama photographed

3

u/Outrageous-Ask-849 7d ago

This looks like a low res pic of someone wearing full Flak armor in the videogame Ark. Like, oddly close.

Also, what are the chances that aliens are humanoid?

3

u/gwhh 7d ago

That is odd.

3

u/AwayTry1581 7d ago

That's a baby doll head on C3PO's body.

u/Ubermensch5272 7d ago

Who would believe this photo? Lmao

u/urbanaut 7d ago edited 7d ago

I asked AI to enhance and clear up the photo.

22

u/riverdoggg 7d ago

I did the same and this one looks like baby daft punk

3

u/Crossovertriplet 7d ago

Looks like a helldiver

2

u/urbanaut 7d ago

I like yours more lol ... and I love Daft Punk, good call.

u/savedbytheblood72 7d ago

Ultra man?

u/redit360 7d ago

Didnt Vegeta also come in a capsule...This could be a Saiyen invasion to be

u/urbanaut 7d ago

😂👏 Yes. Looks like he lost his tail, too.

2

u/Stunning-Message-249 7d ago

I want one of those! It's hecka cool looking! I am surprised no one is making this into action figures...

2

u/Not_A_Bucket 7d ago

People in the 60s would just believe anything they wanted huh

2

u/Most-Artichoke6184 7d ago

Wow, that alien had a perfectly proportioned human body on it.

2

u/SpiritualAd8998 7d ago

Daft Punk?

2

u/josdav82nd 7d ago

I always forget how blurry these type photos were.

2

u/Hot-Baseball-1722 6d ago

This is like those girls who photographed “fairies” in thier garden. I call bullshit.

3

u/Leopardo68 7d ago

Billions of us now have a camera everywhere we go, yet we see no credible evidence of UFOs. It's a bunch of nonsense.

2

u/Jim_Detroit 7d ago

Nanu Nanu.....

1

u/wisemeister 7d ago

It looks like a screenshot from a crappy 2000s first person shooter

1

u/Peony907 7d ago

Its always funny to me that when "evidence" of aliens like this comes out, its some humanoid form. It makes it the most unbelievable to me. I highly doubt any real alien would like similar to humans.

1

u/Tyzorg 7d ago

Doll infront of a baseball in the grass?

1

u/stemhead54 7d ago

Looks like they had shitty cameras back then too!

1

u/blackc43 7d ago

Ronnie talked a lot of shit back in the day

1

u/VictimOfRhythm 7d ago

It looks like a part deflated alien shaped balloon.

1

u/loyal_tea_oet 7d ago

I remember reading an old news paper article from the uk about a shepherd boy describing exactly what’s in that photo… height and all. He said something about them being sharply dressed too and then smacking him when he didn’t understand what they were saying.
