green men

Little extraterrestrial beings

Green men are figures in folklore or popular imagination—typically small humanoid creatures with green skin.

The term most often refers to extraterrestrial beings: little green men from Mars.

Someone dismissing unlikely explanations might say It wasn't little green men.

In British usage, a green man is also the illuminated pedestrian signal showing it's safe to cross.
