A company that sells alien abduction insurance policies worth $10 million in compensation has revealed it has sold a whopping 6,000 packages.

The unusual site that has been running since 1987 and has even paid out to one individual, according to Fox35. 

The tongue in cheek site offers coverage for a one-off fee of $24.95 in which they will mail a paper copy of the certificate in a frame. Digital copies cost $19.95. 

But there's one catch in the small print, they will only pay $1 per year over a 10 to 20 million year period.  

Business owner Mike St. Lawrence, of Altamonte Springs, Florida, also offers reincarnation and asteroid insurance.

He announced the policy coverage extension to include Area 51 promising to pay 'If you get in, but don't come out' of the infamous Nevada, U.S. Military airbase that some believe has played host to aliens.
