Drivers have chauffered some strange-looking passengers in an effort to skirt the rules of the road.

But police in Alpharetta, Ga. caught a speeding driver with a very different kind of passenger riding shotgun: one that was out of this world.

In a Sunday Facebook post, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety posted two photos of an alien doll safely strapped into a car’s front passenger seat.
The driver had been caught doing 84 mph (135 km/h) and was issued a verbal warning for driving too fast, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

It wasn’t clear why the alien was travelling in the car; Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon told The Associated Pres that the driver didn’t say why.
One thing’s for sure: this extraterrestrial landed on Earth over a week too soon for Independence Day.
