Alien Autopsy!!

To not understand why more people are not taking about potential ALIENS on earth!
I've just seen on the BBC a video of the lab probe in Mexico. This is crazy!!
I feel like we're being fed snippets of news feeds regarding this, in preparation for something big.
No-one seems bothered, which I'm really confused about!

Thought this was going to be about the Ant and Dec film.

PollyAmour · 19/09/2023 20:19

I thought this was a discussion about that film that Ant and Dec starred in. It was dreadful.

Didn’t Stephen Hawkins say we should stop trying to contact aliens? That they would likely view as a food source.
Pretty sure any intelligent life source would take one look and give us a massive swerve! 🤣

Missingmyusername · 19/09/2023 20:21

Hawking even 🤣

I agree, something is coming 👽 😆

Any aliens likely to be AI, not carbon.

TorqueWrench · 19/09/2023 23:57

(wonders if said aliens will destroy their intergalactic passports to avoid being deported... 🤔).

I was really heartened to find this thread as I'm also surprised that this story hasn't featured more in the mainstream news!

I initially assumed hoax, and prepared to move on. Then I saw the Mexican medical team tentatively placing them into the CT scanner, surprised that the findings were even credible enough to bother with expensive imaging.

The findings that have emerged today from the doctors are unexpected and odd to say the least. They are claiming that they are intact skeletons from the same individuals, that they are 1000 years old (allegedly confirmed by carbon dating) and that one was female and appears to be in gestation complete with eggs. I'm still extremely sceptical, since none of these findings have been independently verified in any way. It is undeniably interesting though!

Also, to the poster who asked about their bodies supporting their large heads, I would be happy to try and explain if you like! Obviously with tongue firmly in cheek!

I'm the biggest skeptic going but I am seriously starting to think this, too. There have been more alien stories this year than I've heard in my lifetime.

Well it makes a nice distraction from the fact our ecosystem is collapsing. Maybe they'll come down and rescue us? 👽

squareyedannie · 20/09/2023 21:42

I'll only believe it when they've been independently verified.
At the moment, they remind me of the mermaids that used to be made out of a monkey skull sewn to a fish. A bit side-show.

Twilight7777 · 20/09/2023 21:43

Come on OP it looks like someone’s child’s paper mache project it’s that fake!

I can certainly give it a go! I'm a physio student so lots of study of movement and biomechanics etc.

So putting aside the whole 'alien' thing for a moment, I believe theoretically yes it's body could have supported the large head.

This would have been dependent on several variables, including muscle mass, muscle tone, motor and sensorimotor control - in other words how its nervous system communicated with its muscles to coordinate the sequencing and timing of muscle activity - all of these things would contribute to overcoming the weight and mechanical disadvantages of a very large head in proportion to a small body in order to achieve postural control and balance.

How it moved and walked is another major factor, including whether it was bipedal/quadrupedal; it may have needed to move in a compensatory way in order to readjust it's centre of gravity and widen its base of support due to the large head - which appears to protrude more at the back, and small body and feet in comparison.

Lastly, lets suppose for a moment that it is an ancient extra-terrestrial being that evolved on a distant planet. How much it would need to compensate for the larger head would be dependent on how much gravity there was on that planet, and possibly other variations in the laws of physics I suppose.

I hope that helps, obviously only meant to be a bit of fun, definitely not any kind of theoretical, alien movement, head expert 😂

Do you really think that creatures from another planet will have two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth on a head, attached by a neck to a body from which two legs with feet and two arms with hands sprout?

DisquietintheRanks · 20/09/2023 22:01

@Coyoacan that's exactly what I always think. All the possibilities for life forms in the universe and they always seem to look more or less like us.

We call them MP's

Why not, its practical. Never heard of parallel evolution. I think the same basic patterns will be repeated over and over if the environments are similar

PicturesOfDogs · 20/09/2023 22:10

the truth is out there 🛸

Yep they definitely from another planet 😅

Luno · 20/09/2023 23:06

My DS said that they're made of cake!

Choppysue · 20/09/2023 23:17

They did a live stream during which they x-rayed and scanned them apparently and they appeared to be genuine. I'm surprised because they didn't look convincing. Who knows.

ladyofshertonabbas · 20/09/2023 23:20

Ohh, links please.

VeridicalVagabond · 20/09/2023 23:24

I actually am just not bothered if aliens turn up, bring it on, beam me up greyboys I don't want to live on this planet anymore anyway.
