Little Green Men is a satirical novel by Christopher Buckley, first published in 1999. The novel follows a fictional, "Inside the Beltway" talk-show host whose career and life is altered forever when he is abducted by aliens. Since others are not able to give you the reference, I have to post the source for it. If I do not post it, it becomes cheating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Green_Men_(novel) During the flying saucer sightings in the 1950s, the term little green men came into popular usage in reference to aliens. In one classic case, the Kelly-Hopkinsville sighting on August 21, 1955, two rural Kentucky men described a supposed encounter with 3-4 foot tall "greenish", somewhat humanoid-looking aliens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Green_Men But later, aliens have been reported in all imaginable colors, sizes, and shapes.
