Bobby Coleman was the son of Susan Crichton Coleman and her husband Frank Coleman, the nephew of John Crichton and Olivia Crichton and the grandson of Jack Crichton. Bobby was 13 years old when the crew of Moya came to Earth in 2003. He visited for two weeks, using a video camera to record more than 120 hours of his alien encounters. The Crichton family later turned Bobby's tapes over to the government. While the aliens were visiting, Bobby got mischievous and recorded some things that he shouldn't have, including himself being stung by D'Argo's tongue. Bobby appeared on the television program "Alien Visitation" to discuss his tapes and his interactions with the aliens.
