Low-fantasy D&D aliens?

I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I'm worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What's the weirdest alien you've ever thrown at your D&D party?

Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?

But more than that, regular damage points make no effect on MD items, vehicles, etc.

Almost, if you deal 100 points of SD to something with MDC it will deal 1 point of MD. However 99 points of SD will do nothing.
