Ah, you mean like the 'teasers' mentioned in "The Hitchiker's Guide to
the Galaxy?"
---
From the book "Hitch-hiker's guide to Galaxy" by Douglas Adams..
'Unfortunately I got stuck on the Earth for rather longer than I indended',
said Ford. 'I came for a week and got stuck for fifteen years.'
'But how did you get there in the first place then?'
'Easy, I got a lift with a teaser.'
'A teaser?'
'Yeah.'
'Er, what is...'
'A teaser? Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise
around
looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz
them.'
'Buzz them?' Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life
difficult
for him.
'Yeah,' said Ford, 'they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with
very few
people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no
one's ever
going to believe and them strut up and down in front of him wearing
silly antennae
on their head and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really.'
