A mysterious foetus has been found that could be ‘alien’ or from a ‘tiny humanoid’ civilisation that lived on Earth many years ago.
The alleged extraterrestrial has an elongated skull, slanted eyes, and an apparently bony lump on top of its head.
The photos were sent to Spanish alien researcher Josep Guijarro from a source who said it was found in Colombia.
Mr Guijarro, who said he preferred to remain “cautious” about labelling the body as ‘alien’, described it as appearing to have died in the foetal position.

He also said it still has signs of an umbilical cord usually found in placental mammals on Earth.
The alien researcher stated that the body seems to have 10 ribs on each side of the body whereas humans typically have 12.
He said the specimen appears to be the foetus of a mammal with some kind of genetic malformation.
However, Mr Guijarro also pointed out that there are clear similarities between the Colombian find and a tiny humanoid known as Ata.
The small creature was discovered in an abandoned church in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2003.
The tiny corpse was found by Oscar Muñoz who later sold it to Spanish businessman and researcher Ramón Navia-Osorio Villar.
Mr Navia-Osorio believes the skeleton is not alien, but comes from a tiny race of people who used to co-exist with the Aymara people in South America many years ago.
DNA analysis on the skeleton in 2018 suggests it was a human female foetus with unusual mutations linked to dwarfism and scoliosis.
However, a follow-up study by an international research team led by professor of bioarchaeology Siân Halcrow disputed the finding.
They concluded: “As experts in human anatomy and skeletal development, we find no evidence for any of the skeletal anomalies claimed by the authors.”
Mr Navia-Osorio said: “We received it at the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences and there we carried out the first X-ray, with low radiation so as not to damage the specimen.
“They already told us that they did not know what it was, the head was so voluminous, the hands were so elongated, it had no kneecaps, and the clavicle was more triangular than that of humans – I started to worry.
“How could it be a human foetus if it had calluses on its feet? This creature was not extraterrestrial, it was terrestrial.”
The researcher believes Ata does not come from outer space, but rather coexisted with humans many years ago.
He explained: “They were very small people who lived in caves and only came out at night, hence its strange almond-shaped eyes.
“A native friend from the Aymara tribe told me that these beings used to live with their ancestors before the Spanish settlers arrived.”
Following the latest discovery in Colombia, one local commented: “It is very similar to the Atacama being.
Surely it’s an intraterrestrial species that still lives among us?”
Erik agreed, stating: “It is the same as the one found in Atacama.”
Ariel said: “We look forward to receiving more information.”
