Video: Taxi passengers get terrified after alien invaders' try to kidnap them

An ingenious prank idea led unsuspecting passengers in a taxi to be scared out of their wits after they believed that they were being abducted by aliens. The elaborate prank – complete with a grand UFO entry – was played on six people and aired on Brazilian TV.

The prank involves each pair of passengers being driven along a quiet road before the taxi apparently breaks down and the driver leaves them alone to get help. In a freaky twist, the driver vanishes in a beam of light and street lights also start exploding.

The passengers soon start screaming in fear when a mysterious UFO appears and three creepy-looking aliens climb out of it. The hilarious video, made by the Programa Silvio Santos in Brazil, has got more than 7.4 million views.
