Tiny ‘Alien’ Skeleton Debunked by DNA Evidence [View all] JaneyVee May 2013 OP

"Uh, how did a 6 inch human live to be 6-8yrs old???" EXACTLY. WinkyDink May 2013 #1

I have the same question. 6-8 years??? Duer 157099 May 2013 #2

From the article: "there is a real discrepancy in how we account for the apparent age of the bones" arcane1 May 2013 #3

I wonder if this might have been a parasitic twin? Duer 157099 May 2013 #4

Not exactly a debunking, given they have no idea what's going on. DirkGently May 2013 #5

That's a weather balloon. FSogol May 2013 #6

omg are people *so ready* to believe anything? Phillip McCleod May 2013 #7

OK, maybe it's not an alien. But it could be a human that was shrunk by an alien (nt) Nye Bevan May 2013 #10

No - it was shrunk by Dr. Cyclops! csziggy May 2013 #59

MTE. That thing can't be real. It must be some kind of joke. anneboleyn May 2013 #14

Not necessarily. This young lady was 2 feet tall on her 18th birthday: Poll_Blind May 2013 #17

she was probably about the same size on her 10th birthday too. six inches is about the size of HiPointDem May 2013 #21

Thank you- from the moment I posted that image, I was wondering what... Poll_Blind May 2013 #39

Uh, how did a 6 inch human live to be 6-8yrs old??? Kalidurga May 2013 #12

Clearly ridiculous! 8 years? That "skeleton" looks absurd to me, but what do I know anneboleyn May 2013 #13

I would guess dessicated premature infant if it isn't an outright hoax pediatricmedic May 2013 #15

That would be my guess. alphafemale May 2013 #50
