Apparent Alien Skull Found? : Othor Games

This has been buzzing around the internet for awhile, so I thought I'd continue it. Apparently an alien skull has been found in Peru, and has been confirmed by doctors and scientists, though I don't know if any of them are credible or not. If its a real skull, it certainly has very large eyes, which stands out as the most peculiar thing, because you can get that shape of head by deformation or binding a child's skull, but the eyes just couldn't be human.

Or its just a plaster hoax. Who knows, right?

What do you guys think?

It's a load of bs. It's a very, very humanoid skull and we have no manner of being able to identify "alien" remains, anyway, but that is most certainly not the remains of any "alien" species. There is no basis for such a claim and it's very unlikely a foreign "alien" species would look so humanoid, anyway.

It's only been confirmed by scientists to be non-human, as far as I know. What else it could be I don't know.

The alternative explanation for the bizarre discovery is that the skull was artificially deformed as part of a tribal ritual.

The practice of skull elongation - to signify group affiliation or social status - dates back 9,000 years.

Yeah I'm going to go with that

psh, only an alien skull? I have a full alien skeleton in my secret laboratory.

Strange enough, definately doesnt look human but I can't help but be reminded of chimps with its almost ape like mouth.

I'm not stating any claims, just sharing an article I found intriguing. The first article I read was on the escapist said a Russian scientist claimed it to be alien. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.325351-Peruvian-Scientists-Discover-Alien-Corpse?page=1

Like I said, credibility is an issue.

The problem is the skull elogation ritual doesn't explain the huge eyes.

We're calling physical abnormalities evidence of life outside earth, now?

I'd be interested to see a full facial re-construction if it's possible, i've seen it done with the remains of some pre-homosapien species on some documentaries but who knows if it can be done here.

I saw a 5 leaf clover today.

ALIENS WALK AMONG US :ahhh:

. Early symptoms may also include:
Eyes that appear to gaze downward
Irritability
Seizures
Separated sutures
Sleepiness
Vomiting
Symptoms that may occur in older children can include:
Brief, shrill, high-pitched cry
Changes in personality, memory, or the ability to reason or think
Changes in facial appearance and eye spacing
Crossed eyes or uncontrolled eye movements
Difficulty feeding
Excessive sleepiness
Headache
Irritability, poor temper control
Loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence)
Loss of coordination and trouble walking
Muscle spasticity (spasm)
Slow growth (child 0–5 years)
Slow or restricted movement

I don't see anything about enlarged eye sockets.

the eyes are actually the most normal thing about it though, i know they seem huge but that is a common with all toddlers and infants, their starts off at the same size as it would be into advlt hood so thats why they eye sockets seem so huge. (fyi, the actual human eyeball is about half the width of the socket)

Who knows? A product of an old ritual? Natural deformity? An unknown, extinct great ape?

But alien? Come on...

No, but I don't think the likes of which have ever been seen in our natural world before. Abnormalities, don't just pop up at random, they have to be coded into DNA, so if no other human remains have been found with similar defects, it could very well not be human. Do I think its an actual alien? No. Would I like to think it is. Yes.

I didn't know this. Yeah that would definitely answer my quandary.

The moment I saw the picture of the skull from that piece of trash film, I immediately ignored anything that article had to say

this illustrates what i said previously fairly well.

Another thing the article states is that the skull has teeth found only in advlts. Maybe aliens are similar to humans because we're related to aliens. A lot of people think aliens came to earth and we are decendants of them. Just another wacked out theory, but its fun stuff to think over

Anyone remember this:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xe71FtnOpMs/THiGMWbe8BI/AAAAAAAABMk/qPJsbzG4gzo/s1600/starchild-skull-pictures.jpg

Many people thought that was an alien skull as well, turns out it wasn't, just an unfortunate human baby.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:30 pm

There is no basis for such a claim and it's very unlikely a foreign "alien" species would look so humanoid, anyway.

It's just as likely that it would be humanoid as it is that it would be something completely abstract.

I think I'll wait until someone with more credibility than the Daily Mail or a scientist I've never heard of makes a statement before getting on board with the "OMG ALIENS" theory.

Yeah, I remember that one. They're DNA testing this one sometime soon, so we'll see what the official word is.

I hope it would be an alien. I'm most interested in the effect on our society's psyche. I'd hope it would bring around a new way of thinking and make our world a little more open minded.

I'm not saying it or isn't. Just sharing an article and discussing it. Sheesh, people seem to like to think that anytime some one makes a post, they are automatically inclined to agreeing with it. Maybe I just want to discuss it?
