Hi Charles, Same here. I don't consider myself ignorant or lazy, but have slipped up and said Aliens in the Outback a number of times myself. I believe the reason is that Aliens in the Outback sounds grammatically correct while Alien Outback sounds grammatically wrong. Even though Alien Outback is the actual name. So subconsciously I correct it.
