Aliens tell man to rob mother's home

A British man claims aliens told him to burgle his mother's home.

John Michael Kirby informed police officers that the extra-terrestrials had instructed him to break into the property in Middlesbrough as well as give stolen food to homeless people, Teesside Crown Court heard.

The 29-year-old man admitted the burglary at his mum's house and another at his uncle's home, where he stole food, aftershave and toiletries.

The court heard he made the omissions in police interviews when he told officers about the aliens.
