We are not alone. As movies constantly remind us, aliens walk among us, or they will when they get the green light from the mothership to launch the full-scale invasion. Extraterrestrial invaders come in all shapes, sizes, and dispositions; sometimes they're cute and harmless and other times they're monstrosities intent on stripping us of our freedom and precious natural resources anal virginity. In Skyline, the new sci-fi thriller out Friday, some nasty mech monsters rock our world using seductive light beams to draw humans out like moths to a flame to be swallowed (not in a "lean back with your hands on your head" good kinda way). With intrusive intelligent lifeforms on our puny human minds, Complex created a scale to break down the varying degrees of outer space ugliness that have dropped in on us. Don't look into the light—but do take a look at The Alien Invaders Ugly-O-Meter!

This is cool. Though I guess whoever made this doesn't know that Cloverfield didn't come from space. It came from the bottom of the ocean...

Two things... 1) Where is Alien? That was surely an ugly one... 2) Cloverfield did come from space. In one of the flashback clips it is seen falling down into the ocean from space in the background. A nice little hidden detail.

I agree with the lack of Xenomorph, though to be fair they aren't really "ugly" like the guys on list. They actually just look badass. BUT Cloverfield is a creature from deep-underwater not space. In the official Tie-in manga follows the story of a Japanese high-school student with a strange connection to Monster Cloverfield. Plus the "official" viral footage showing the destruction from the creature before it arrived in New York. But it really doesn't matter.

John Dickinson is a former resident of Preesall, Lancashire, England. During the 1970´s he used a walking stick to help him walk. He also wore a flat black cap even in the summer. He lived near the Saracens Head pub in the small village. The concrete bust at the Saracens Head closely resembles the offensive Danish Cartoon drawing of Mohammed (http://www.saracensheadpreesall.co.uk/Gallery.html) Please will people post any information or their recollections of John Dickinson Preesall on this blog. He was apparently a "Smashing Old Chap".

Another elderly person from the village of Preesall was called Cyril Dawson. Cyril was very well spoken and always wore a cravat. He lived near the Fleetwood Charity School on top of the village hill and sometimes sold Chrysanthemums to villagers. Does anyone remember Cyril?

I have heard that Cyril Dawson lived in a cottage at the junction of School Lane and Smithy Lane in Preesall. His land backed out on to the hill. A former ICI employee lived on Smithy Lane and another former ICI employee lived on School Lane. It is quite ironic but if you take an aeriel view of the lanes and put the work of all persons together you have ICI.

Does anyone remember Prospect cafe on Smithy Lane, Preesall? The cafe was located at the top of Smithy Lane and close to the home of Cyril Dawson (grower of Chrysanthemums). It is believed Cyril was a former teacher and moved to Preesall "from out of town". Which in the 1970´s either meant Preston, Blackburn or Manchester. It all sounds like prospecting for gold!!!!

A missing link? Page 147 of the book "Himmlers Crusade" implies the following British people supported the 1938 expedition to Tibet. Lord Astor, Nancy Astor, Mr. Charles Hambro, Mr. Philip Gibb, Professor Cornell Evans and Sir Nevile Hendersen. The book also suggests a meeting took place at 230 The Strand (The Link House) between the expedition leader (Ernst Schafer) and Admiral Sir Barry Domville.
