    Politician's Shock Claim: ‘My Mum Is A 9ft Green Alien’

    “I was looking straight into its face. It enters my mind through my eyes and it sends a message down my optic nerve into my brain. It says ‘I am your real mother, I am your more important mother’.”

    A recently elected local politician named Simon Parkes says he’s been visited by numerous extraterrestrials since he was a child. Furthermore, he believes that his true mother is not human.

    However, his claims are not new. Parkes has talked about these things publicly in the past. There’s a four-part YouTube video dated Aug 22, 2011, that shows Parkes discussing these experiences in detail. There’s also testimony written by Parkes at various UFO websites, such as UFO Phenomenon.

    Because Parkes was elected to Whitby town council in North Yorkshire only last month, the public couldn’t possibly be completely unaware of this, could they? In other words, this shouldn’t be news to the people who voted for Parkes. It’s all there on the Internet for anyone bothering to type his name into a search. So maybe the real story is this: The people who voted for Parkes didn’t bother to learn about who they voted for.

    Parkes said his extraterrestrial beliefs “did not come up on the doorstep” while he was campaigning — nobody brought it up. What’s more, fellow ward member and former Mayor of Whitby, Councillor Terry Jennison, said councillors don’t seem to be aware that Parkes has interacted regularly with extraterrestrials. When asked, he replied: “I am completely in the dark about this.”

    What’s Parkes’s story? Speaking on YouTube, Simon Parkes said he first saw an alien at the age of eight months, when “a traditional kite-shaped face”, with huge eyes, tiny nostrils and a thin mouth appeared over his cot.

    He said: “Two green stick things came in. I was aware of some movement over my head. I thought, ‘they’re not mummy’s hands, mummy’s hands are pink’.”

    He added: “I was looking straight into its face. It enters my mind through my eyes and it sends a message down my optic nerve into my brain.

    “It says ‘I am your real mother, I am your more important mother’.”

    He said after contracting chicken pox at the age of three, his mother went to work and left him at home to fend for himself when an 8ft “doctor” dressed as a waiter appeared to offer help.

    As an 11-year-old, he claims he was taken on a craft by his alien “mother”, and made a deal with the beings on board.

    He said: “The reason extraterrestrials are interested in me is not because of my physical body, but because of what is inside me. My soul.”
