A Lonely Teacher Found an Alien Baby | 21 Days Later, It Was 21 Years Old - Video

At 3:12 in the morning, a retired chemistry teacher looked out at his greenhouse and saw a light that wasn't his lamp. Between the tomato plants lay a glowing pod. Inside was a baby with grey skin and huge black eyes.

By breakfast, the baby was one year old. Every night he grew one more year, and twenty-one lights on the pod counted down to the day something would happen.

This is a science-fiction story: Hank, Biscuit and the pod are invented. The science behind it is real: why children grow at night (growth hormone is released in deep sleep), why goslings follow the first moving thing they see (imprinting), why a blue whale calf eats so much, and why some animals grow up fast while humans take twenty years.

How do aliens raise their children? Hank found out on the twenty-first day.

Please don't try the garden-lime or chemistry moments at home.
