x-files-i-want-to-believe.gif

As of this coming Friday, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are back as America's favorite FBI detectives working on extraterrestrial cases in the new movie, X-Files: I Want to Believe. The movie is already generating a lot of buzz--especially with me.

My family and I loved the original show and watched it every week, and we're excited about the new movie. While surfing for details, I stumbled upon some interesting and even odd alien-type gadgets. Who knows, maybe some of these extraterrestrial gadgets will make you want to believe, too.

Take a look at what I found after the jump.

X-Files The Complete Box Set: If you are a true fan of the X-Files, you will want this: It contains all episodes of the TV show from seasons 1 to 9. Brush up on everything Mulder and Scully, in their various adventures with aliens before seeing the movie. The set includes 205 episodes on 58 DVDs for a price of $499.99 at Best Box Sets via Amazon.com.

UFO Detector: This gadget from Strapya World, an online Japanese cell phone strap and accessory store, claims it really can detect aliens. You press the center button on the gadget, and if it flashes, then there are aliens nearby! The device is apparently based on some kind of mathematical formula called the Yutan. I suspect a hoax; however, if you want to believe, the UFO detector can be yours for $21.26.

Green Alien Projector: Fool people into thinking there really is an alien in your house or signal extraterrestrial life to come your way with the Green Alien Projector. The gadget, made by Australian company RareBeasts, is a battery-operated projector that uses a bright, glowing green LED light and shines through a thin wooden screen. The device is available for purchase for $35.

Test Tube Aliens: You may not have met any green and slimy Martians in person--yet--but Test Tube Aliens X can give you some practice, by taking care of an interactive toy alien. These toys breathe through their antenna and prefer to be covered in "sloog" up to the top of their antenna. The aliens will drown in the test tube if the antenna goes under the sloog, and they need to be fed with a water and powder mix. Each one will up to its maximum size in 14 days and have a visible flashing heartbeat. They can also communicate with their home planet via the internet by holding an alien up to the portal window at testtubealiensX.com. Test Tube Aliens X is available for $21.91 each on Crazy About Gadgets.
