A real alien or an elaborate hoax...

The discovery of an alien's dead body in Siberia is probably just an elaborate hoax, but footage of it has captured the imagination of millions online.


Video posted on YouTube by All News Web, a site billing itself as The World's Only Inter-Galactic Daily News Service, shows two Russian men approaching and filming the apparent corpse of a small alien.



PHOTOS: World's most famous extraterrestrial hoaxes?





The shrivelled and decomposing body was reportedly found near the city of Irkutsk, just north of the Mongolian border.



"We found him around two hours ago," the cameraman said.



"It must have been lying here for days."



The body was apparently sniffed out by a dog, who led the pair to the extraterrestrial find.





'Alien corpse' found in Siberia





All News Web's Michael Cohen writes that residents of Irkutsk witnessed a UFO crashing into a forest, though the event was "deliberately kept from public view" in the West.



"An enormous team of government officials, including military personal, secret service agents and science ministry officials made their way to the UFO crash site within hours of the event occurring," Mr Cohen wrote.



"Is the alien seen in this video a survivor of that crash who managed to leave the area only to die as a result of Russia's harsh conditions?"



While the corpse itself does appear somewhat realistic, a close-up reveals the snow has been consciously moved to make it appear half-buried.

Shipwreck found after 112 years at the bottom of Lake Michegan...

 Shipwreck found after 112 years at the bottom of Lake Michegan...


A wooden steamship lost for more than a century has been found at the bottom of Lake Michigan.



The LR Doty had not been seen since sinking in a wild storm while transporting a cargo of corn from South Chicago to Canada in 1898.



A dive crew from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research team took stunning photos of the wreck, which lies close to 100m below the surface.



The 90m-long ship remains in immaculate condition after being preserved by the icy waters.

It's been a hectic 48 hours since Evenson first hit the Manawatu Standard front page with his home-built machine on Monday.

He has been interviewed on radio and television and was today set to do a photo shoot with an Australian news agency.
