Alien House and the Search for Meaning on World UFO Day
World UFO Day on 2 July marks a time when millions pause to reflect on the unknown — not just extra-terrestrial life, but our place in the cosmos. In Alien House, Owen Jones offers a unique lens on this theme, blending gritty realism with metaphysical fantasy in a story of exile, loss, and the mysterious kindness of strangers.
After fourteen years abroad with his Thai wife, Michael returns to Barry, South Wales, only to watch helplessly as UK immigration officials deport her at the airport. Alone, broke, and alienated in his own country, Michael spirals into depression. His only company is Ralph — a sardonic inner voice — and the gnawing sense that something is not right.
A strange accident introduces Michael to four seemingly perfect strangers who offer shelter and peace. But their generosity comes with a twist. Are they human? Is Michael simply losing touch? Or has he stumbled into something far greater?
Alien House doesn’t shout about flying saucers or little green men. Instead, it whispers about what it feels like to be alien in your own land, and asks: what if the beings we fear the most might just offer what we need the most — hope?
