I think that guy will be coming out with a screenplay about his 'experience' soon.
 
Whatever it turns out to be, the case bears a striking similarity to the discovery of a pickled dragon in an Oxfordshire garage that occurred back in early 2004. The dragon turned out to be of recent manufacture, and its discovery was a stunt to help promote an author's book. Given that we're once again dealing with a writer discovering a mysterious pickled creature, the question to ask is, Does Barney Broom have a book coming out soon, and does it have anything to do with extraterrestrials?

I think it is crap.
 
My question is: How long before it ends up on eBay?
 
If I remember correctly, there was a vogue for selling these about 8 to 10 years ago, through sci-fi magazines. Made by a special effects contractor in the United States who had spare capacity, they were indeed shipped in "formaldehyde" solution. Perhaps someone tried to make something similar in the UK, and added the newspaper as corroborative detail.

From BBC article. It's a novelty.

I seem to remember a series of pictures of a 'alien' on a website. They were probably paper mache, clay or something else. I'll try to find them...

The alien is a model, like the dragon.


EDIT: ( can't post URLs, ufocasebook.com/caponi.html) is the site.

I smell a conspiracy...the DNA test was hushed up by all the governments on the planet.

Actually, it looks like the mayonnaise jar that Carnac was always referring to.
 
I think it is tkingdolls baby. A lovechild of her and either Elvis or John Lennon or maybe both.:covereyes She somehow found out about it when the rest of us knew nothing.
 
Er....is it just me, or can't they just either x-ray or cut the thing open and see if it actually have internal organs and such or if it's just made of clay?

I suppose that since there's nothing to compair it to, it's hard to say what the inside of an alien is supposed to look like, but presumably there'd be something in there.

You pesky skeptics, always insisting that people do things or look for evidence. Bah. Why can't you just engage in completely unfounded speculation like us happy tin-foil hatted UFO conspiracy theorists?

Why don't they just unscrew the lid? Huh? Why is it that no one sees the obvious?

JUST OPEN THE DAMNED JAR AND PULL OUT THE CRITTER AND SEE WHAT IT"S MADE OF, for Ed's sake.

Well, to be fair, the guy does say pretty much what I'd say if I found it in my loft:
I haven't got three heads and I'm not the sort of eccentric lunatic to think it's an alien but it's a funny thing to find in your loft.

Assuming his story's straight, it's a mildly interesting conundrum as to what it'd be doing in an old spinster's loft. Though if I was lonely, bored and about to die, I'd probably try to leave baffling objects around the place as well.

Obviously it's a model, there doesn't really seem to be anyone claiming it's not - and if it was a hoax, i.e. someone wanted people to think it was a real alien, it's a lame and half-hearted one.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they already know that it's made out of clay... The mystery is finding out who made this model and why. I'm not sure anyone is claiming that it is a real alien baby.
 
I dunno, $10 starting bid on E-Bay. You can do one yourself, you know. Make a bunch of lumpy shapes out of modelling clay, bake it, paint it white, drop in a jar filled with water, and put a little food coloring it it so it looks like formaldehyde or something. Make a label from "Miscatonic University" for added effect.
 
It's real if they can prove that an alien baby can turn to clay when it is pickled
