Extraterrestrial
Alien OR Unusual Skull Discovered
70 years ago a girl in her late teens was taken by her parents to
visit relatives in a small rural village 100 miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico. The
girl was forbidden to enter any of the area's numerous caves and mine tunnels, but like
most teenagers, she went exploring. At the back of a mine tunnel she found a complete
human skeleton lying on the ground's surface. Beside it, sticking up out of the ground,
was a malformed skeletal hand entwined in one of the human skeleton's upper arms. The girl
proceeded to scrape the dirt off a shallow grave to reveal a buried skeleton smaller than
the human one and also malformed. She did not specify the type or degree of any of the
"malformations." The girl recovered both skulls and kept them for the remainder
of her life. Upon her death they were passed to an American man, who maintained possession
for 5 years before passing them to the American couple who now control them.

A Condensed Analysis Of Two Unusual Skulls of Uncertain Origin By: Lloyd Pye
Skull #1 (Mystery Skull):
Skull suturing and baby teeth in a detached piece of maxilla (upper jaw and palate)
indicate death around 5 years of age. The face is missing from the upper bridge of the
nose to the foramen magnum (the hole where the spine enters the skull), but the cranium
and most of both eye orbits (the external parts of the sockets) are intact. This skull's
degree of humanity is at issue because several aspects of its morphology defy categorizing
as genetic defect (inherited), congenital deformation (birth defect), or inflicted
deformity (cranial binding).
Skull #2 (Human Skull):
A human skull assumed to be Amerindian (an Indian from North or South America) because the
rear of its cranium exhibits the flattening that results from being carried in infancy on
a cradle board. Tooth wear suggests age at death was around 25 years, plus or minus five.
Its smallish size and other reduced points of reference indicate it will likely prove to
be female.
Binding:
Experts suggest the child's high degree of occipital (rear-skull) deformity would most
likely have resulted from the cranial binding practiced by primitive cultures around the
world. However, such binding never extends below the inion (the bump at the back of the
head) because the human neck begins just below that point. Furthermore, squeezing a
skull's upper bones out of their natural shape leaves them permanently separated, which
results in a life-long "soft spot" at the top of the head. The child's skull is
well-sutured (no soft spot), with none of the distortions normally caused by binding.
Furthermore, the extent of rear flattening extends well past the inion, which has become
slightly concave. This indicates a strong force other than binding (i.e. pathology or a
natural design) must have caused the occipital's extensive deformation.
Brain Volume:
Though markedly different in shape, the skulls are roughly the same size. However, they
exhibit a stunning difference in brain volume. The average volume for a human brain is
1400 cubic centimeters (cc). The volume of the human skull is 1200 cc, typical for a small
human. In contrast, the volume of the child's skull is 1600 cc, which is 200 cc beyond the
average for adult humans. And had it lived to become an adult, its brain capacity would
have grown to 1800 cc or more, well beyond the human average.
In paleoanthropology (the study of ancient animals) a 200 cc increase in brain capacity of
a human type creature warrants the naming of an entirely new species. Homo Erectus
averages 200 cc more than Homo Habilis; Homo Archaic is 200 cc more than Erectus;
Neanderthal is 200 cc more than Archaic. Thus, this child might well represent an unknown
species of human-like beings.
Weight:
An average human skull weighs 2.2 pounds (lbs.). The adult's skull (which is missing its
lower jawbone and teeth) weighs 1 lb., 13.4 ounces. Including the child skull's piece of
detached maxilla (upper jaw), it weighs only 13.5 ounces. Because it is roughly the size
of the adult skull, its bone has to be significantly lighter than typical human bone.
Symmetry:
The child's skull has a high degree of symmetry (similarity on both sides). Usually
cranial pathologies will cause differences in degree on either side of the head, along
with other distortions. Thus, it is highly unlikely a cranium so clearly aberrant would
exhibit such startling symmetry throughout
Sutures:
A CAT scan has shown that none of the sutures between the bones in the child's skull have
sealed themselves off from further growth. Nearly all examples of congenital deformity
exhibit some degree of premature sealing of cranial sutures. This makes it highly
unlikely, if not virtually impossible, for the child's skull to be the result of
deformity. It seems to have grown naturally into the shape is had taken.
The Eyes:
Normal human eye sockets have a recessed (5 cm) conical shape with optic nerves and optic
fissures at the inner rear quadrant of the cone. The child's eye sockets have a shallow (3
cm) scalloped shape with optic nerves and optic fissures moved down and away to the inner
bottom. Also, the inner surface of both sockets have incredibly subtle terrain shifts that
are impossible to explain in any way other than genetic design. The shape and width of the
eye orbits (the outer edges of the sockets) are equally divergent. The adult's have the
vaguely rectangular shape of normal humans, while the child's are shaped like a lopsided
oval. The adult's are typically rounded along the top of the rectangle, while the upper
part of the child's oval has a clearly definable edge.
The Ears:
The child's ear canals are clearly visible on both sides of its skull. They seem normal in
shape and size and angle of entry, but a recent CAT scan revealed that they are larger and
have more depth than normal human inner ears. There is no way to know if an external ear
was present or what it may have looked like.
The Sinuses:
The child had small maxillary (cheek) sinuses but no trace of frontal sinus cavities.
While extremely rare, this condition is supposedly known among both humans and primates.
The Foramen Magnum:
The foramen magnum is the hole at the base of the skull where the spinal column connects
with the brain. In normal humans the foramen is positioned slightly rear of center to
balance the hollow-filled front face against the brain-filled occipital area. The
extensive reconfiguration of the child's skull has somehow caused its foramen magnum to be
shifted to a central point that provides much better balance between its rear brain area,
and its face and forebrain.
The Necks:
Typical human neck attachments begin at the inion, the bump in the middle of the occipital
bone, and sweep out in a semicircle that reaches to just behind the ears and converges at
the foramen magnum. The distance from any part of the semicircle to the foramen opening
averages 5 to 6 centimeters. In the child's skull a shallow arc extends about 3
centimeters from the foramen hole, while the inion has somehow become slightly concave.
Such a drastic reduction in attachment area means the neck supporting the child's head
must have been from 1/2 to 1/3 that of a normal human. Such thin necks are consistently
described as hallmarks of certain alien types (Grays), and of Gray-human hybrids.
Chewing Muscles:
In the child, the area available for attaching chewing muscles is every bit as reduced as
the attachment area for its neck muscles. And though they are called "chewing"
muscles, they are actually used for connecting and holding the lower face to the skull.
Based on such a reduced connection area, the amount of mandible (jawbone) these muscles
could have secured must have been greatly reduced.
Human-Alien Hybrids:
Many abductees and contactees allege that aliens (most often "Grays") are
conducting genetic experiments that produce hybrids between themselves and humans. The
results of these unions are consistently described as looking far more human than alien,
but with stark bulges in the parietal bones; shallow eye sockets; a greatly reduced lower
face; a thin neck able to easily support a well-balanced head; and ears seen as markedly
lower and smaller (or missing entirely) relative to human ears.
The eyes of Grays are consistently described and depicted as large black teardrop shapes
that wrap horizontally across the middle of the face. If those large orbs are indeed their
visual mechanisms, it would argue against the child's eyes being related to them. However,
in the "Alien Autopsy" film the alien being dissected has the
"standard" Gray eyes until the doctor performing the autopsy lifts them off and
shows them to actually be dark, flexible coverings like large contact lenses or shades.
Underneath those lenses were round, bulging eyes with plenty of white showing around dark
irises. Those eyes would fit quite well in the reduced eye sockets of the child.
The Star Being Legends:
These are well-known, well-regarded legends with roots spreading throughout Central and
South America. They are pervasive and long-standing (two centuries or more), and in
general state that on a regular basis "Star Beings" come down from the heavens
and impregnate females in remote, isolated villages. The women carry their
"starchildren" to term, then raise them to age six or so. At that point the Star
Beings return to collect their progeny and remove them to places, and for purposes, not
clearly outlined in the legends, though improving a stagnated gene pool is often mentioned
as a motivation.
The Non-Traditional Scenario:
Many "intuitives" and "sensitives" feel the adult skeleton was a
female and the child was hers, a human-alien hybrid created by a union between her and a
Star Being. Some feel the mother had learned the Star Beings were returning to take her
child from her, which she refused to contemplate. Panic-stricken and filled with dread,
she took her child and fled her village, seeking refuge in the hidden mine tunnel. There
she killed it and buried it in a shallow grave, leaving one of its hands out of the ground
to hold onto. Then she took a fatal dose of poison and lay down beside her child to die.
DNA Testing:
Inside the nucleus of human cells is found nuclear DNA, which is a combination of both
parents. Floating outside the nucleus in each of our cells are tiny bits of stray DNA
called "mitochondria." Because mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) passes solely through
females, the first test of the child's mtDNA will provide a genetic snapshot of its
mother. If she was human, that snapshot will say "human." However, since the
test says nothing about the father, that does not preclude it being a human-alien hybrid.
Furthermore, testing might indicate an utterly non-human origin, either by having entirely
absent mtDNA or by having a structure markedly different from human mtDNA. Nothing is
likely to be definitive about the origin of the child's skull until its nuclear DNA can be
tested. Because the skull is considered technically "ancient" (over 50 years of
age), recovering nuclear DNA will be difficult and costly. Luckily, we have what is most
required for such a test, which is teeth. The pulp in teeth resists deterioration better
than any other part of the body, so that is where we must look for nuclear DNA.
Worldwide there are only a handful of laboratories capable of sequencing ancient nuclear
DNA, and all such processes are time-consuming, highly technical, and very expensive.
Thus, we cannot contract to have this testing done until funding is available to pay for
it, but we will announce all such results as soon as they are available.
Conclusion:
Mainstream Position:
Pathology--genetic (inherited) or congenital (birth defect)--is the standard explanation
for any human-like skullb that does not fit the "normal" human mold.In the hands
of scientists dedicated to pounding square pegs into the round hole of conventional
thinking, pathologycan be made to cover virtually any deviation.
In truth, a unique combination of extraordinary pathological disorders is a possible
explanation for the many aberrations evident in the child's skull. Absent overwhelming
evidence to the contrary, mainstream science will insist the skull has resulted from
nothing more than multiple pathological defects. This opinion will always dominate any
others because of the combined academic credentials of those who will profess it. This is
reality; we all know it.
Points Supporting Non-Earth Origin:
The long-standing Star Being legends of Central and South America provide a plausible
mechanism for how a highly abnormal skull (relative to humans) might have been
biologically created rather than genetically or congenitally malformed, or physically
manipulated by deliberate deformation (binding).
Such immense deformation across the entire occipital (rear) and parietal (upper side)
areas of the skull could not result from binding without deformation being visible in the
frontal area, which is not evident. Birth defects across the entire occipital and parietal
areas, while not impossible, seem highly unlikely because of the remarkable symmetry
exhibited in all areas of the skull, including those effected by the deformations. The
terrain of the bone in the eye sockets contains incredibly subtle indentations and ridges
that are perfectly symmetrical in both sockets, which simply have to have been formed by
genetic directions rather than by deformations.
The rear deformation extends from the crown to very near the foramen magnum, an area
impossible to reach by any binding device due to the thick neck muscles (even in a child)
that surround and support the skull-spine connection. Head binding cannot extend below the
inion (the bump at the back of the head). Head binding leaves a gaping opening at the top
where skull bones fail to fuse.
The bottom line is that even though the skull's highly unusual characteristics demand an
open-minded approach to it, mainstream science will reject it outright until forced by DNA
evidence to do otherwise. Indeed, it could turn out to be nothing more than a butt-ugly
kid with an extraordinary combination of cranial deformities never seen before. But it
could also have been the result of a human-alien union, or an outright alien with no
connection to humanity at all. Only time and testing will tell which possibility is
correct.
