More than 6,000 people have taken out ''alien abduction policies'' worth £8 million in compensation.
Provided by Saint Lawrence Agency in Altamonte Springs, Florida, the policy ensures customers in supernatural sites, such as Area 51, that will receive a payout if they are taken away by a UFO.
Clients will only pay $1 per year over a 10 to 20 million year period Mike St Lawrence, confirmed that the policy was born after thousands of people on a Facebook page urged users to storm Area 51.
Mr. St Lawrence said: ''I don't want to try to rip somebody off.
''The people that come to me, if I think they don't understand the terms and conditions, that this is tongue and cheek, I won't sell it to them.''
