On Earth, for something to be alive, it has to be able to breathe, to eat and to move. Using those three requirements, we each made an alien. 
What Would Aliens Look Like?

That would depend on where they came from!

SuperSun. It is named Thing1 because it looks a lot like the Dr. Suess character. Cody's alien looks a lot like a human with two legs and arms, two eyes and a mouth. It is green because it is a plant-alien. It uses photosynthesis to make its own food from the sun, just like plants on Earth.

This is Katie's alien. It is from the planet sporty. His planet is very hot so that is why his hair is on fire. He is the only cyclops on his planet, so he is very unique.

These aliens came from planet Wumbolina. We gave theses aliens weird names. We call them...WUMBUMS! They are green ball-shaped creatures with big hands and big feet. They kinda look like a green ball form of Spongebob Squarepants. His power is that he can make people laugh no matter what.

This is Tyler's alien. This alien is from the planet of the Ants. He is 11 and named Flare because of his flame shaped head. He is a carnivore and has an extraordinary power which lets him move things without touching them which really helps him during battle.

This is Kelsie's alien. It is from the planet Pluto. No one has ever been to Pluto, and I think all aliens live on Pluto. That is why no one has ever found proof of aliens really existing.

This is Bryson's alien.

This is Shorty. Well, I think his name is Shorty. No one will ever know. He has a very large body because he comes from a planet with a very high gravitational pull. Despite his large size he prefers to be peaceful. Well, I think he does. He eats a crunchy plant that grows on his planet. His planet is very large, however, he is the only inhabitant of it.

Seriously, why would an alien from another planet look like an Earthling?

Here are a few reasons:

  • Very different animals on Earth have a similar body part, like wings on birds and on insects because they have a similar use for it. This is called convergent evolution.
  • Even though they look different, most of our animals have their sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose) on their head where their brain is, and the body is used for locomotion and digestion.
  • For humans to make tools, we need to walk upright and use our hands. If aliens made a space ship to get to Earth, they would also need hands like to ours, so they would probably walk upright, too.
Okay, so they probably wouldn't be too scary.
