The presumed dead alien is not extraterrestrial but a manipulated fetus.
The specimen was acquired by the Disclosure Project and
has been under investigation by researchers at Stanford University in an effort
to categorically confirm or reject the possibility of it being the remains of
an alien.
On 22nd April the preliminary results were released,
concluding that the specimen is human, but that despite the tiny size (~6
inches) it was thought to be a child aged between 6 and 8 years old with a
variety of unknown medical conditions, rather than a foetus. This seems quite
remarkable to me, since I’ve dealt with skeletal foetus specimens rather
similar to this in museum collections.
The main differences I can discern by looking at the high
quality photos, X-rays and CT scan on the Sirius Disclosure website are that
the Atacama specimen is from a slightly earlier stage foetus (discussed below);
it has mummified soft tissue that has shrunk tight (discussed below), pulling
the ribcage into a more narrow configuration; and the head has been distorted,
probably as a result of an illegal back-street abortion where a hook has been
used to extract the foetus (discussed below), causing damage to the back of the
skull and stretching the pliable head.
In the comments
below, a contributor called Fred links to an image of this specimen where the
large hole in the head is absent. Presumably the large hole was made while
taking samples for testing.
There are other parts of the skull where a hook may have
been inserted, causing the cranial deformation seen, such as through a
fontanelle, but this is hard to confirm from the images available, so this
makes the case for an abortion using a hook less likely. Abortions in the
region are often carried out using an unknown mixture of herbs and it is
possible that the deformation seen was caused by forceps used to facilitate
extraction or as a result of post mortem tight wrapping of the specimen]
When undertaking an evaluation of something unusual like
this, it is important to consider a range of factors, from the context of the
specimen to how the evidence is balanced and what relative weighting should be
applied to particular lines of evidence.
In this case the age estimate provided by Dr. Ralph
Lachman has perhaps been overly influenced by the high density of the bone in
the x-rays of the specimen (a pdf of his report can be seen here). In mummified
specimens there is a well recognised increase in the density of both bone and
cartilage to x-rays, to the point that age determination becomes unreliable
(pdf of report on Egyptian child mummy detailing complications in age
determination).
When this factor is taken into account, the specimen can
be considered in a different light.
The length and degree of development is consistent with a
14-16 week old foetus, where the bones have mostly formed and are starting to
harden, the skin is transparent and the external genitalia are formed, but the
fingernails, eyelashes and eyebrows have not yet formed. Looking at the wider
context of the find, Chile has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in
the world. This means that illegal abortions are common in the country, with
the third highest rates of maternal mortality in the country being as a direct
result of complications arising from an illegal abortion. The ways in which
these complications can arise are horrific, as must be the circumstances of any
woman who decides to risk them in order to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
This isn’t the kind of decision to be made on a whim.
Nonetheless, it appears that some unfortunate woman
underwent the procedure and the aborted foetus was disposed of in a remote
location in the Atacama desert, only to become dried out, discovered and made
the focus of study.
This brings me to the media handling of the reportage of
the specimen. The preliminary results of the study clearly identify the
specimen as a young human being (even if I disagree about the age range
reported). It is also clear that the specimen is relatively recent and not of
great antiquity; so why have papers like the Sun and Daily Mail taken the
decision to sensationalise the story, rather than treat it with the respect
that it deserves?
This is utterly unlike their reporting of the human
placenta found in Tooting in March (Sun, Daily Mail) or the Sun’s analysis of a
television broadcast of an abortion, or the slew of articles from the Mail’s
apparent obsession with abortion.
It almost seems as though the Atacama specimen was deemed
undeserving of respect because it’s considered a “freak” or “mutant”, but I
fail to see how the specimen deserves any less respect than any other innocent
dead human being. I wonder if the more prosaic story of the dumped outcome of
an illegal and unsafe abortion, carried out on a desperate woman who may not
have survived the procedure, would have gained the same attention that the
story of a purported “alien” or “freak” has garnered. It saddens me to say that
I rather doubt it.
