Chilling footage shows a man probing an 'alien' he claims to have caught while out walking his dog.

Dr Jonathan Reed alleged that he discovered the extra-terrestrial while out walking his dog Suzy in the Cascade Mountains in Washington back in 1996.

Reed said that the encounter occurred on October 15, when he stumbled across the alien and its black spaceship .

But after discovering the creature, Reed claimed that it 'vaporised' his dog.

In anger, Reed, who says he is a psychologist, used a log from a nearby tree to hit the alien, believing that he had killed the creature.

He then took it back to his home where he spent time probing it - claiming he caught the whole thing on camera.

The video shows Reed apparently unwrapping the alien, which has a typical elongated skull, but bizarrely appears to be wearing a black outfit covering the rest of its dark skin.

After analysing the alien, Reed said he stored the creature in his freezer.

But more worryingly, he now claims that the alien escaped. He also says he has been investigated and harassed by government agents and believes people have tried to kill him.

His story has caused much controversy and massively divided public opinion.

One viewer, who watched the video, said: "Definitely real. It blinks. It bleed. It was alive for a few moments. If it's fake, can you prove it? That man had a real encounter."

Another, more sceptical viewer added: "Since when did aliens start wearing turtleneck jumpers?"
