This article is about the sapient '''alien''' race featured in the movie ''Signs'', directed by M. Night Shyamalan. They are very athletic, being able to jump up to the roof of a farmhouse that is about ten feet off the ground. Their skin changes colors, giving them a camouflage ability- which is how they remain unseen throughout most of the movie. They also have a spike that protrudes from their wrists that expels poisonous gas. Water is their weakness- shown at the end of the movie when the one in the farmhouse falls backwards into a piece of furniture, toppling a glass of water on top of it, causing the water to drip on it. The water seems to "burn" the alien and cause it great amounts of pain.
This race of '''Aliens''' were a species of [[reptoid]]-like extraterrestrials featured in the 2002 film ''[[Wikipedia:Signs (film)|Signs]]''.

This species has clearly established their ability to master space travel in order to get to Earth. Their ships can primarily be seen at night via the yellow-orange lights that show that they are in fact saucer shaped craft. Graham Hess asked his brother Merrill if there had been any new development and Merrill explained that a bird flew in the way and hit something in the sky and fell straight down; explaining that they did in fact master cloaking technology. It is also unknown what kind of weapons these creatures possess due to the fact that they did not use them within the film.
They are generally humanoid in shape and are relatively muscular. They have greenish-brown skin that can be burned once it comes in contact with water which acts as an acid to the species, their skin can also change color. They have bold heads with nostrils that resemble that of a human skull's nose holes. Their eyes are a whitish color and piercing. They have teeth, as well as claws on their fingers. Their arms have poisonous spikes that sprout from their wrists.

As the name of the film implies, the first sign of the Aliens' presence was a small [[Crop Circle|crop circle]] made on a farm in [[Wikipedia:Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County, Pennsylvania]]. Later on in the film, one of the Aliens was seen briefly on the roof of Graham Hess' house after he was talking to his daughter, Bo Hess, who claimed that she saw a "monster" outside of the house. Shortly after, Graham and his brother, Merrill Hess, chased the Alien that was outside on the roof, who they thought was a human that was responsible for making the crop circles. The next day after the incident, Graham and Merrill reported the encounter to the local police officer named Caroline Paski.

This article is about the sapient alien race featured in the movie Signs, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. They are very athletic, being able to jump up to the roof of a farmhouse that is about ten feet off the ground. Their skin changes colors, giving them a camouflage ability- which is how they remain unseen throughout most of the movie. They also have a spike that protrudes from their wrists that expels poisonous gas. Water is their weakness- shown at the end of the movie when the one in the farmhouse falls backwards into a piece of furniture, toppling a glass of water on top of it, causing the water to drip on it. The water seems to "burn" the alien and cause it great amounts of pain.

This species has clearly established their ability to master space travel in order to get to Earth. Their ships can primarily be seen at night via the yellow-orange lights that show that they are in fact saucer shaped craft. Graham Hess asked his brother Merrill if there had been any new development and Merrill explained that a bird flew in the way and hit something in the sky and fell straight down; explaining that they did in fact master cloaking technology. It is also unknown what kind of weapons these creatures possess due to the fact that they did not use them within the film.

  • Although the reason for the alien's attack has never been officially stated, a survivor heard on the radio in the basement states that they came to harvest humans. He backs this up by stating that he and his friend saw the aliens poison his friend's family and drag away the bodies. This is extremely unusual because the alien's weakness is water and 50-65% of our entire bodies are water. Now obviously they must not have known this before-hand. However, thanks to the family mentioned above they must have definitely found out through them and then, realizing they messed up, promptly retreat and leave Earth.
  • With this species of alien, water acts as a very corrosive form of acid.
  • As shown they obviously have the technology to navigate between planets, but it's unknown if they have any type of advanced weaponry or not. This is explained in the movie through a book which theorizes how an alien invasion would occur, according to the book if the aliens used their technology to attack, humans would retaliate with nuclear weapons, rendering the planet resources useless.
  • For some reason, despite having achieved intergalactic travel capabilities, the aliens wear no clothes. This may be due to their need to exploit their natural skin's abilities of changing color like a stealth suit. While from our perspective it may seem odd that a space-faring species would not to wear any type of clothing, it should be noted that clothes are a human concept and are usually dictated by culture. Since this is an alien species, they can't be expected to mirror every aspect about us regardless of how intelligent or technologically advanced they are.
