Wood you believe it: E.T has been found on Earth

Scotland now has a mysterious phenomena to rival the Loch Ness Monster as E.T has been sighted in a tree trunk.

The movie was released by Steven Spielberg in 1982 and surpassed to become the highest grossing film of all time.

The lovable alien, known as E.T., entered the hearts of movie-goers around the world - but now he has also entered a tree in Scotland.

Hotel owner Billy Harley, who runs the Uig Hotel on the Isle of Skye, found the amazing image of the wrinkly alien inside the trunk of a tree he was chopping to make firewood.

He said: "The weather has got a lot colder in the last week and I was getting some additional logs ready to keep the place warm for our guests.

"I put the chainsaw through a trunk and there was ET staring back at me. I phoned home and my wife brought a camera out to take some pictures."

"We're not quite sure what to do now. We could turn ET into a coffee table or a bar stool maybe."

The Uig Hotel is a popular destination for visitors to the Isle of Skye. The Harley family are now hoping that they'll attract more visitors to the island

The Harleys are also considering naming one of the rooms after the space muppet.
