Alternative Source Citation Formats

This is for all of you out there in Research Land.

Got a source that you don't think you can cite in MLA or APA format? Don't worry, there's a format for everything!

My favorite:

Alien Mind Transmissions

When citing telepathic transmissions from alien planets/spacecraft:

1. Name the aliens who sent the message (if known).
2. Identify the location of planet or craft.
3. Identify the location where transmission was received.
4. List the date the transmission was received.

Example: "Internal combustion vehicles are wasteful and evil. You must stand in the street and curse their drivers and occupants immediately." [The Elders of Antares 7; A Ship Orbiting Saturn; Corner of Lawrence Avenue and Broadway, Chicago, IL: July 5,1989.]

"Give me all your base!" [Xenu; A 747 Orbiting Mars; Set of Oprah, Chicago, IL: June, 2008.]
