| From an interview he gave in 1997: Quote:
Clarke is said to have often ignored his own one-question rule and answered questions on a variety of topics, including extraterrestrials and UFOs.
"One thing is certain -- if extraterrestrial beings do visit our planet, they won't be little green men," he told the Sydney Daily Telegraph in 1997. "In fact, they won't be human at all. So when someone says they've seen, let alone been kidnapped by, beings with a head, eyes, limbs and a body, I know they are deceiving themselves.
"They may believe it's happening, but they are wrong. Look at the incredible variety of life forms on this planet -- yet all these extraterrestrials look like refugees from Central Casting."
