Here’s the news item. This was teased at IUFO.
I’ve seen the Kodachrome slide. I thought immediately it was a child mummy (it’s in some sort of display case). I’ve shown the photo to several Egyptologists. They said the same thing. You can see why when you juxtapose the “alien” photo (on the right) with a child mummy photograph. Funny how they both have the tell-tale body cavity opening:
Tracking down which museum specimen it is would be quite difficult, though, if indeed (and I see no reason to doubt this part) that it’s a genuine Kodachrome image from 1947.
The above link also has those touting this image as an alien “analyzing” the shape of the eye sockets. Honestly, big deal. Big eye sockets in skulls are familiar — like with these “alien” specimens:
These specimens are human. The first two are fetal skulls at, respectively, 20 and 21 weeks. The last is a one-year old. They all come from the same site – a medical supply company that specializes in osteological reproductions. Hey, they even have elongated skulls models (like you’ve seen at UFO conferences I bet):
The point with offering these skulls is that the “features” that folks will say point to alien origin (in a slide no less!) are not unusual — especially if the specimen is a child mummy. None of the skull shenanigans put out on the web by ancient alien theorists are unknown. Anthropologists and medical specialists have been all over that stuff for years.
Prepare for the defense of this to get goofy. The above link already has this comment from from Anthony Bragalia:
‘What is depicted is really there, accurately reflected in the emulsion as an actual moment in time in 1947. Science has weighed in and has determined that these are real slides that are really from 1947.’ ‘
The Only Conclusion: This humanoid is not a deformed person, mummy, dummy, simian or dead serviceman.’
The Only conclusion? Play the goofy music now.
Pardon me, but child mummies were displayed in museums in 1947. And people using Kodachrome photography could have (and of course did) take pictures of them. Such photos were also real-time moments in 1947 (unless we’re in a Fringe episode now). Maybe Edgar Mitchell knows that no one took photos of child mummies in Kodachrome that year.
I can’t wait to see the data that rules out a mummy or the other options. If the “evidence” for ruling those out is “hey, the slide dates from 1947” that doesn’t cut it – by a light year. If I sound jaded, it’s because I am. I’d love to see actual physical evidence for intelligent alien life. But after nearly two decades of engagement with those who do such research (and much of it is hardly careful — but there are exceptions), all such stories, leads, and breakthroughs have come up with nothing — and too many are just a hybrid (another pun) between speculation and bunk.
Amazing that in 2015 there are still people who think a photographic image is proof of anything other than the existance of cameras.
well said.
Great point!
That’s why it would seem in God’s plan, Judaism and later Christianity had to be ancient faiths to be veridical. Artifacts and writing can be dated, and textual content can be analyzed and debated. And, the Middle East is an ideal preservative environment. OTOH, our generation is leaving digital dust that can be easily manipulated, and more easily lost. If the Lord tarries, there will be very little “proof” of our modern culture…
Anyone with a last name like Heiser just cannot be trusted. The jig is almost up. Your kind have a couple years left at best. You’ve earned it.

LOL – what penetrating logic. Just like behind the slides. But I guess you didn’t actually read the post. I’d love real proof. But that’s just it – I want REAL proof. You might be satisfied with guesses. I’m not. I don’t think anyone reading this will think your approach is more coherent than mine.
Real proof? But why? Let’s say that this is a real proof. So what? Is there something epochal going to change in our lives? Are we going to be any closer to finding the truth about ET, UFO and such? What a bunch of crap.
Well I am glad my research led me to your page. You have saved me allot of time. The artist whom made the Kodachrome video is obviously not a stranger to the use of rhetoric. Nor a stranger to the shilling of yet another fraud.
