- "Greetings, Jones! We've been keeping an eye on you, and we've decided you deserve bigger challenges than you're getting around here. You'd be amazed at the wealth of artifacts just waiting for a man of you talents on Planet Xantar! We'd like you to lead our expedition, and we're ready to leave right now."

"Bug-Eyes" was the nickname given by Indiana Jones to an extra terrestrial who visited Mexico in the 1930s before departing in its spaceship to take Jones to its homeworld of Xantar.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
"Bug-Eyes" meets Indy.
In Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures, the alien can actually abduct Indiana Jones in its ship and take Jones to Planet Xantar.[1]
In Star Wars: Yoda Stories, Jones cameos with the same vessel where he meets Luke Skywalker, who points out that Jones looks like his friend Han Solo.[2]
The presence of the alien in Mexico is in accord with the (pseudo-scientific) Ancient Astronaut theory concerning the meso-American civilizations, and its appearance is that of a "Grey", which is also the concept behind the interdimensional beings of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull released years later.[3]
