A mysterious, new fetal mummy has surfaced — and one veteran public radio reporter suspects it could be 'alien' or a 'tiny humanoid' from an ancient species.
The alleged extraterrestrial has an elongated skull, slanted eyes, and an unusual number of ribs, at least according to the reporter, who stated that the body seemed to have 10 ribs on each side of the body compared t

Review of "Great Pyramid Hoax" - (by Larry Pahl):
