Myziam

ᴹʸᶻᶦᵃᵐ (Myziam) was a poster on the internet website 4chan.org, active on the board /x/ on 22 February 2017, who claimed to be an extraterrestrial from the star ⱽᵃʳᶰ (Varn). The poster wrote in broken English using Unicode phonetic symbols, allegedly translated by a program called ᴸᵉᶦᵇᵃ (Leiba).

According to the poster, their spacecraft had run out of fuel while travelling across the galaxy and would be in orbit around ˣᶠᶜ-#0422 (Earth) until their team found them, estimating their recovery would take a year, and they would meanwhile be posting photos of the planet to 4chan, specifically of any location that users provided coordinates to. However, after posting several pictures and responding to questions and comments, the poster announced, a few minutes shy of three hours after their original post, that their team had unexpectedly arrived and they would be departing to investigate a new system, promising they ʷᶦᶫᶫ ʳᵉᵗᵘʳᶰ some day.

On 12 October 2017, 232 days later, a poster going by the name MYZ-MYZ HOAXIE BOY claimed credit for the Myziam posts.
