When I was little I was watching Unsolved Mysteries and they did a show about aliens and Roswell. It scared me so much I was up all night crying because I thought aliens would kill us all. I was terrified of aliens for a long time after that. I couldn't watch Unsolved Mysteries for a long time either.
