Mental Health Week: Stress- Are We Coping?

Mental Health week this year, 14th- 20th May, was all about stress and how we cope with it-
"By tackling stress, we can go a long way to tackle mental health problems such as anxiety and depression, and, in some instances, self-harm and suicide."

To support Mental Health Awareness buy a smiley green badge from Mrs Francis for just £1.

A group of teenagers were asked what the main things that make them stressed were and these were the results:
1) School work (68%)
2) Parents (56%)
3) Friends’ problems (52%)
4) Relationships (48%)
5) Drugs in the neighbourhood (48%)

Congratulations to those who guessed Mrs Francis as last's terms Mystery Teacher!
(Again none of this is real!)
There was a recent U.F.O witness reported by an anonymous source. They said that whilst walking down the Maths corridor, on their way to the new maths classroom, they spotted an unusual looking purple machine hovering over the playground. The source said that he just practising his hockey skills in the corridor and carried on his way, "After about 30 mins, I heard an odd blubbering sound just outside the window and as I didn't have my glasses on, I couldn't tell which direction that the sound was coming from." The source then said that he peeped through the blind and saw a purple dotted alien with 3 eyes and white horns. As soon as the news representative recognised this creature as our friend Allan the Alien, she concluded the interview. The source refused to give his name when questioned further.
We need to find out who this source was and what else he knows about Allan.
Can you help us figure out who our source was? All of the clues are in bold.
