This article in the FT back in 2018 explains it:
Arian’s ‘alien’ rebranding shows adventurous spirit:
"Last week, the new boss of Arian Silver announced that the junior market company would be called Alien Metals. There is no plan to mine on Mars, the group’s executive chairman, Dennis Edmonds, hastily said. Alien refers to “other” or “unknown”, not extraterrestrial extraction, he said. Still, the rebranding exposes the adventurous spirit behind the company. “The new name doesn’t say what we do. One reason is we don’t know what we will do,” said Mr Edmonds"
Also the ticker UFO always stands out.
