Ohio Woman Claims to Be in a ‘Plutonic’ Relationship with Alien Who Prefers Wardrobe Over Socializing
“Intergalactic romance or just a case of cosmic confusion?”
In what could be the most unusual long-term relationship in modern history, 82-year-old Ohio resident Martha Jenkins has made an astonishing claim: she has been living with an alien for over five years. However, before skeptics jump to wild conclusions, Martha insists that their relationship is strictly plutonic—which, as she clarified, means “like friends, but from Pluto, or somewhere further.”
A Mysterious Companion Who Only Appears at Night
Martha, a retired schoolteacher from Chillicothe, first encountered her extraterrestrial companion, whom she affectionately calls ‘Zarnok’, one evening while watering her begonias.
“I saw a faint blue glow behind my garden shed, and at first, I thought it was a raccoon who got into my husband’s old Christmas lights. But when he stepped forward—oh my, I just knew he wasn’t from around here!”
Since that fateful evening, Zarnok has made himself at home inside her modest two-bedroom house, though he only appears after sunset and reportedly prefers to hide in her wardrobe when guests visit.
“He’s terribly shy,” Martha explains. “He doesn’t like large crowds or bright lights, which is funny because you’d think an alien wouldn’t mind that kind of thing. But he met my bridge club once—well, sort of. He peeked through the closet slats and waved.”
Her friends remain divided on Zarnok’s existence, with some believing she has a vivid imagination, while others swear they’ve seen an odd blue glow from her bedroom at night.
A Weekend in Friendship Leads to an Unexpected UFO Encounter
Recently, Martha decided to take a trip with her friends to the town of Friendship, Ohio, for a weekend getaway.
“I thought it would be nice to show Zarnok a little more of our world, even if he had to ride in the trunk because he’s nervous around truckers.”
While enjoying a peaceful afternoon at Shawnee State Park, Martha and her friends witnessed something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
“We were sitting by the lake, having some homemade lemonade and gossiping about Carol’s son—he’s still unemployed, bless him—when suddenly, a big silver object skipped across the water like a stone, then stopped a short distance from us.”
The group watched in shock and silence, except for Martha, who allegedly calmly waved and shouted, ‘Zarnok! You didn’t tell me your friends were visiting!’”
According to eyewitnesses, the metallic object hovered for a few moments before vanishing into the sky, leaving behind nothing but a few ripples in the lake and a stunned group of retirees clutching their lawn chairs.
Government Response: “No Comment”
When asked about the sighting, local authorities and government agencies declined to comment, though an anonymous park ranger reportedly muttered:
“Damn UFOs again. That’s the third one this month. Tell ‘em to stop scaring the fishermen.”
Martha’s Plans for the Future
Despite the skepticism surrounding her claims, Martha remains unfazed and plans to continue her ‘plutonic’ relationship with Zarnok.
“It’s not about proving anything to anyone,” she says. “I know he’s real, and that’s enough for me. He’s sweet, polite, and never leaves dirty dishes in the sink—which is more than I can say for my first husband!”
As for whether Zarnok will ever come out of the wardrobe and go public, Martha isn’t holding her breath.
“He says Earth isn’t quite ready for him yet. But who knows? Maybe one day he’ll stop hiding, and we can finally go on a proper date—maybe a nice evening at the Cracker Barrel.”
Until then, Martha will continue to share her home—and her heart—with her intergalactic roommate, enjoying what may be the most unique companionship in the cosmos.
