A woman has posted a selfie taken on a plane in which she claims she was photobombed – by an alien .
Olesya Podkorytov from  Russia said she took the picture during the flight on a whim but when she posted it on social media friends pointed out something strange a few seats behind.
The young woman was on a business trip and said she was not sure why she suddenly decided to take a selfie as she said it is not usually something she would do,UK Mirror reports .
She said when she shared the snap online that she was flooded with comments alerting her to the “alien”.
She said:


“I uploaded the picture on my social media page, and then all the questions and comments hit me.Only after that I realised there was a bizarre-looking image of a creature behind me.”

She said the figure was “humanoid” and looked like a large alien similar to those in Hollywood films. Some people suggested it is was not an alien – but a ghost.
