Abstract: An affine surface is said to be an affine Zoll surface if all affine geodesics close smoothly. It is said to be an affine almost Zoll surface if thru any point, every affine geodesic but one closes smoothly (the exceptional geodesic is said to be alienated as it does not return). We exhibit an affine structure on the cylinder which is almost Zoll. This structure is geodesically complete, affine Killing complete, and affine symmetric.
