While most scientists look to the stars for signs of extraterrestrial life, others claim that the evidence might already be here on Earth.
Mysterious remains surfaced in Colombia this week, which some say could have their origins beyond this world.
Veteran public radio reporter, Josep Guijarro, claimed the unusual corpse could be an extraterrestrial or a ‘tiny humanoid’ from an ancient species.
But experts now say that the real explanation is likely far simpler.
Professor Sian Halcrow, a forensic anthropologist and expert on infant remains, told MailOnline that this is probably the remains of a preterm human baby.
…The alleged alien has a large elongated skull, slanted eyes, an umbilical cord and, an ‘unusual number of ribs’.
In an article published in Espacia Misterio, he claimed that the remains only had 10 ribs on each side of the body compared with 12 in the typical human.
Mr Guijarro also claims that the remains emerged from ‘el cerro de los enanos’ (‘the Hill of the Dwarves’) in remote Colombia.
However, in a later post on X, he added that he could not know the exact origin of the specimen because he lacked ‘verifiable data’.
