Alien?!

Around 5 years ago I'm pretty sure I saw an alien. I was 12 years old and I had just moved to Querétaro, Mexico from the United States with my parents and my brother.

Since we didn't have a place to stay, my grandma let us stay at her house for a couple of years before moving out. Anyway, since my grandma's house was in a pretty bad neighbourhood, my mother would park the car in a “guarded” parking lot about 2 blocks from the house, so everyday we would walk two blocks at 5:00 am to get the car out of the parking lot and drive to school.

One day, we were walking towards the parking lot when all of a sudden my mom stops me and tells me to be quiet. Baffled, I ask what was going on, she then proceeds to point at a tree that was perhaps 8-10 meters away from us. I then see a small pointy-eared figure that would pop its head out from behind the tree, kinda like a little boy teasing us. This was no little boy. It was a small grey creature with big eyes just looking at us.

My mom the proceeded to grab me by the hand and start walking on another direction.
