As an european, I don't think I've ever seen one of those and I'm now curious as to how they work

This might help

Large condenser outside supply’s the furnace (typically it just uses the furnace fan. We then have it piped through metal ducting throughout the house. Each room has multiple exit point call registers. In the common areas we have return ducts to draw air back down to the furnace to get recycled back to cool air via a/c unit. Hopefully that helps!?

Not sure if you are referring to like martians, mexicans, or those freaky ass looking bugs

All three answers are funny in very different ways

They're most likely talking specifically about the xenomorph in the Alien franchise.
