Indiana Jones Wiki

"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."
―Alien visitor[src]

"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[]

Alien1

"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]
