Seems these Nazca aliens have already been debunked two years ago as a re-arrangement of human and animal bones. If you can ignore the comedy skits, the video below points out all the inconsistencies.

This story has been posted five times already. I know some of y'all actually believe this nonsense but please have some standards. This is not the "disclosure" you're looking for, it's Fiji Mermaid shit.

Oh for the love of God -just because any fool will believe anything doesn't mean we have to play along, does it?


An ufologist no less.


Seems legit


I am hoping this is sarcastic because no it fucking doesn’t seem legit, but who can tell anymore in todays age of discourse around facts.


Ha! Literally every time I've ever written this comment online it's been sarcastic.

In my experience with others, it's almost always written in jest.


Far, far too many people would sincerely say it looks legit dispite looking like a horrible paper mache project done for a middle-school art class. Pretty depressing tbh


Totally, we can do better.

There is a company called Syndaver Labs. They make synthetic cadavers. Basically various goos of various consistancies and colors all put together to make a synthetic cadaver for medical device development and testing, medical training, etc.

The full human is something like $60k, and it doesn't even last forever. They need to be refrigerated, smell weird, and generally kind of fall apart not that unlike organic tissue.

Usually we don't buy the full body, we don't need that. Usually we buy a lung or an ear, torso, arm, head, whatever we need to do our work. Those are still pretty expensive.

They're actually usually more expensive than a regular cadaver, which is like $6k.

Next question I usually get, why use the fake one then? Ethics. We typically try to make the most of the sacrifice, so we only use cadavers even absolutely necessary and where it would help prevent human or animal suffering. If engineers need to try some 3d printed prototypes out, that kind of thing.

All that to say, they should be able to.make better fake aliens. They should call the folks at Syndaver...

I don't think this guy has such a budget. He could improve its knowledge about skeletons and about art, but for a first prototype, looks ok. /s


Maybe that guy doesn't have the budget, but I'm sure we can find people who do.

Gotta admit, it would be fun to run a "oceans 11" devils advocate best effort to fake aliens.

We could make some pretty convincing fake alien bodies, some crop circles and program some kind of drone light show and combine them all to make some kind of spectacle.

It'd be like that Balloon boy thing...

We'd come clean after a few days, but only after we secured a reality show deal with TLC and a few exclusives with TMZ and whatnot.


Title should be: "Mexican ufologist shows 2 objects to Congress he claims are alien corpses" or something like that;)


"Congress"
