Invisible Green Men

The Invisible Green Men are creatures that may or may not exist, possibly, maybe, on a planet in the 915 1965 Horologium system that hosts the human colony known as Fiddler's Green. The invisible green men, if they exist, may... or may not... possibly... be responsible for the breakdown and malfunction of technology that reaches the planet and may... or may not... cause starships to crash onto the surface of the planet. 
=== It's Complicated ===
When the Pathfinder Ship Pegasus visited the 915 1965 Horologium system in the Solar Year 7064 (or thereabouts), they discovered a small human colony stocked with eccentric characters. Also, their shuttle crash-landed into a swamp on the planet's surface. The landing team subsequently suffered multiple equipment failures. The human colonists insisted that device called a "spaceship deswampificator" would raise their ship from the swamp it crashed into. One of the colonists suggested that "invisible green men" ("How can they be green if they're invisible?" "They're an invisible shade of green.") were responsible. The ship was ejected from the swamp after the expedition's leader shouted into the swamp and pleaded for his ship to be returned. 
No one in the landing party saw or interacted with any non-human beings on the planet. However, images acquired during the expedition captured what appeared to be alien faces appearing in the vicinity of the landing crew. 
=== Theories ===
The planet on which the Fiddler's Green colony was located had an anomalously thick and highly energetic atmosphere, as well as a strong electromagnetic field. Pegasus's Commander hypothesized that the planet could itself be a sentient life form, capable of manipulating equipment failures with its electromagnetic field and possibly bonding telepathically with its inhabitants and causing them to experience hallucinations. According to his theory, the invisible green men were a local myth concocted by the locals to explain the anomalies of the planet. 
This would not explain the apparent experience of alien faces in imagery from the expedition. The alternate theory is that the invisible green men are, in fact, for real, but... but... but... but... they manage to evade detection by humans on the planet. The little bastards could be standing right behind and you would never know. And that's just scary as hell. 
=== Conclusion ===
Nobody knows what the hell they are, or if they exist. Subsequent expeditions have been unsuccessful in confirming their existence or making contact with them.
