Low-fantasy D&D aliens?

@rpg

I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I’m worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What’s the weirdest alien you’ve ever thrown at your D&D party?

Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?

    For the mechs, either magic statue or nerfed iron golem, but requires a rider vulnerable to called shots and the whole thing is vulnerable to electricity.

    Aliens? Make them weird. No, weirder. No, weirder than that. Have them make mistakes or horrendous assumptions based on mistranslation or skewed concepts.
