This thing looks somewhat birdlike, with an interesting lower mandible and articulated limb which seems a bit iffy, in my opinion. Maybe an ear bone, rather than a drum? Nose looks somewhat forced, too, but if it’s a fake, at least the ideas are interesting. It hasn’t been identified yet.
The trouble is that we’ve had a sort of plague of Russian alien finds in recent years. As usual, the aliens are bipeds, with similar to human anatomical structures, no genitals, and run around stark naked being found dead in Russia. As usual with global alien finds, they’re all identical, all fit the descriptions, and other aliens couldn’t be bothered looking for them, which is how we found them. None of them have any technology on them, either, another guarantee of authenticity and credibility.
All very straightforward, I’m sure readers will agree. What else would an alien be doing on Earth but dying pointlessly and naked in the Earthly Paradise of modern Russia? Obviously, they’re not only dead, but geniuses, too.
Yet again, one of the most important questions of all time is receiving many donations from the Internet, or Mensa’s third armpit, as it’s sometimes known. If some hoaxes are pretty banal, cliché-ridden and quite unworthy of even being called hoaxes, some are pretty good.
This overall collection of codswallop is almost as bad as an American frat movie — Hyuck, I know, let’s fake an alien, Gomer…. Oh, sod off. Enough, already, with the “Aren’t we brilliant?” crap.
Bad enough that we’ve never yet managed to have even a rational objective look at the idea of finding aliens. We have staggeringly credulous people on one side, unbelievably credulous, in fact, finding non-existent aliens. We have stunningly unimaginative people on the other, refusing to believe, or at least to admit they believe, in the possibility of aliens existing. All-time intellectual cowardice award for them, just edging out Western politicians and raging religious nutters, mainly for their persistence.
Imagine, if you will, a sane, rational approach to the issue. Imagine a lack of highly implausible “It’d cause a panic” logic. After all, what’s left to panic about? The world is a toxic waste dump, thousands of nukes, poisonous food, mindless media and a few enchanting meandering psychopaths are running nations and terrorist groups killing thousands of people. If people can live with that, they can live with aliens.
Instead of reason, we have “They deny the existence of aliens because they’ve been taken over by them. Some people have even been to space and come back…” This would be the exceptionally dull collection of impassive and incompetent morons we see recycled as stock characters in every TV show since the X Files, right?
What we don’t yet have are Mason aliens, Jewish aliens, Catholic aliens, White aliens, Black aliens, Asian aliens, Democrat aliens, Republican aliens, Hispanic aliens, etc. or anything else interesting. Imagine a subject where bigotry hasn’t penetrated… Seems unlikely, doesn’t it? If nobody hates it, can it exist? …Or maybe the conspiracy theorists are even lazier than they seem.
I put it to you, O Bigfoot reader, as one of that-thar-thither fictional human race which nobody seems to believe in either, that this is getting pretty damn ridiculous. Why is anyone still producing fake aliens? Couldn’t get a job at Wendys? Modern Family wasn’t hiring this year?
This new thing may or may not be anything, but we instantly leap to the alien option. According to The Sun, scientists are baffled. Maybe they should be more baffled by the total absence of scientific method in cases like this. Might help.
