A mummified fetus with an elongated skull found in Colombia has puzzled scientists.

Experienced Spanish public radio reporter Josep Guijarro, having received images of the mysterious creature, ventured to suggest that it could be an “alien” or a “tiny humanoid” of an ancient species.

The alleged alien has an elongated skull, slanted eyes and an unusual number of ribs. According to the reporter, the body appeared to have 10 ribs on each side of the body, compared to the typical 12 in a human.

Guijarro conceded that the mummy may have come from “El Cerro de los Enanos” (“The Hill of the Dwarves”) in remote Colombia. Signs of an umbilical cord, typically found in land mammals, have sparked speculation that the “alien” mummy may be related to the infamous remains of a purported cave-dwelling “tiny humanoid” discovered in Peru.

Skeptical scientists, however, argue that both specimens are most likely stillborn and represent the remains of a human embryo.

The new photos were sent by Guijarro, who hosted Spanish National Radio’s Enigmes i Misteris for ten years and is now a UFO researcher.

Although the source claimed that the gruesome fetal remains were found in Colombia, Guijarro noted, “I can’t know for sure because I don’t have verifiable data.”

The veteran journalist also stated that he personally prefers to remain agnostic about the possible “alien” origin of the mummified remains, citing the size of the fetus and the mammalian umbilical cord: “I’m sure someone in Mexico would have labeled it ‘alien’ by now.” ” In my case, I prefer to be more careful.”

A veteran Spanish public radio reporter ventured that the specimen could be related to “Ata,” the infamous six-inch “alien”-like corpse discovered in Chile in 2003.

But this caution with his own preliminary ideas hasn’t stopped viewers on social media from weighing in more definitively on the new “alien” corpse mystery.

“It looks a lot like the Atacama creature. Is there really some extraterrestrial species still living among us?” – wrote one. Another netizen commented on the find: “This is the same as the one found in Atacama. We look forward to receiving more information.”

Last fall, Barcelona entrepreneur and UFO hunter Ramon Navia-Osorio Villar, who bought Atu from a treasure hunter, stunned Spanish television with his theory that the remains were evidence of a legendary race of tiny humanoids.

“These were very small people who lived in caves and only came out at night. Hence their strange almond-shaped eyes. A native Aymara friend told me that these creatures lived with their ancestors before the arrival of the Spanish settlers,” Navia-Osorio assured everyone.

Guijarro expressed openness to Navia-Osorio’s idea that the skeleton may not be an alien but a member of this ancient, tiny race of people that local lore says once coexisted with the Aymara people hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.

“Researcher Gilda Mora from Colombia noted that she had information about these creatures since the time of the Spanish conquest. Even today there have been references to them in a place called “El Cerro de los Enanos” (The Hill of the Dwarves) in Colombia, which is very difficult to reach.”

Sightings and stories of tiny “los enanos” date back 800 years to the indigenous Aymara communities of these highland regions in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Argentina.

An obvious bony lump on the top of the mummy’s head, Guijarro noted, appears to indicate that the mammal fetus has some kind of genetic defect, making the extraterrestrial hypothesis less likely.

But one expert told the Daily Mail last November that the theory, at least in relation to the 2003 Atacama mummy, was “absurd”. Biological anthropologist from New Zealand’s University of Otago, Sian Halcrow, stressed that “Ata” fits the profile of an ordinary, completely normal human fetal skeleton. Any theories to the contrary, according to the expert, “are not based on scientific evidence or simply on knowledge of the normal anatomical development of infants.”

Together with archaeologists from Stockholm University in Sweden, anatomist experts from Stony Brook Medical School in the United States and others, Halcrow published an analysis in 2018 criticizing both believers in the “alien” origin of “Ata” and skeptics.

Halcrow and her co-authors estimated that the skeleton likely belonged to the fetus of a premature baby who died less than four months after pregnancy.

But even despite these results, Ata has come under scrutiny even more than the so-called “alien” mummies presented to Mexico’s Congress last September.

In January this year, forensic experts in Peru discovered that the public had been deceived by claims that two nearly identical figures seized by customs agents in a shipment bound for Mexico were nothing more than “dolls.”

Speaking about the two figures seized by customs authorities, leading forensic scientist Flavio Estrada categorically stated: “They are not aliens, they are not extraterrestrial beings, they are not a new species and they are not hybrids.”

On January 12, Lima authorities held a press conference at which government scientists decisively attacked alien lovers.
