Jumble sale in extraterrestrials? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aliens

'extraterrestrials?' is the definition.
('alien' can be a synonym of 'extraterrestrial')

'jumble sale in' is the wordplay.
'jumble' indicates an anagram.
'sale'+'in'='salein'
'salein' anagrammed gives 'ALIENS'.

(Other definitions for aliens that I've seen before include "Creatures from another planet" , "'Little green men'?" , "Life-forms assumed to exist beyond Earth" , "Foreigners or creatures from outer space" , "Outsiders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
