I just blogged this over at UFO Religions so I thought I’d reproduce this here.

In the latest twist to the Steven Greer ET disclosure shell game (hat tip to BK), Greg Newkirk of the Who Forted? blog and Lee Spiegel of the Huffington Post (photo credit for the image below) have produced evidence that Robert Ripley of Ripley’s Believe it Or Not fame had found a 6.5-inch “alien” he called “Atta-boy” (Ripley’s specimen was from Peru, not Atacama, Chile, the region from which Greer’s “alien” hails, so the phonetic similarity seems coincidental).

Ripley of course believe the specimen to be a mummified human. That’s still where my money is, since the 91% of the DNA that is identifiable to this point is human (and again, DNA testing of ancient specimens like this rarely produce completely identifiable genomes — that’s why there’s more than one way to DNA test such things).
The mummification thing keeps coming up. Readers know this is what I suggested at the beginning. I didn’t do that because I’m clairvoyant. Rather, I read things like scholarly journal articles on mummification like this one (the Atacama region is referenced on pp. 258 and 260). The abstract states in part:
This essay explores the idea that arsenic poisoning was the impetus for the origin of the oldest mummification practice in the world. The Chinchorro people artificially mummified fetuses and infants starting 7000 years ago, but we do not know why.
It stands to reason that mummification might have something to do with this (these) specimen(s) and thus account for anomalies (were the process known).
Incidentally, Atacama is also a region of Chile known for “cranial modification” — just like certain Peruvian regions. Cranial modification refers to deliberately shaping of the *human* head to a conical form (sorry, folks, those pictures you see on the internet are neither mysteries nor nephilim skulls). I can’t provide links to full articles on that due to copyright laws, but here you go:

91 % DNA in common with human is high number, but do you know how much DNA do we have in common with apes?
They say as well that it is not a fetus and it lived 6-8 years. However who knows who is telling the truth. It is right not to trust everyone, but dont take it to extreme. It is possible that what they say is true. Just look at the people in the world, we are educated to doubt about everything. What i know for sure, money rule the world and they dont want to get anyone to know about this. Thats where doubts come in. I dont say to you to trust everything. Just dont doubt about everything. Some of this may be true. Sorry for bad english I hope what i said is clear 🙂 peace
I might be misreading your point, so pardon if that is the case. Nothing about the DNA shows that the specimen is non-human.
We share a high percentage of DNA with the Neanderthal genome, but since Neanderthal and homo sapiens could interbreed, they are not different species – both are human (the Neanderthal sequencing showed that, like the ape family, there can be variety). My point is that high congruence of DNA does not indicate a different speciation, only sub-speciation.
But again, I’m really not sure what your point was.
I just wanted to begin with DNA topic, as far as i know they are still trying to “decode” it. I am really not DNA expert. All i wanted to say is that we shouldnt just take this as a hoax and say – they said its HUMAN – over. I would rather say its HUMANOID but im not expert.
Apes have 95% or 98% identical DNA (depends on how the study is done). This means high probability of having common ancestor with them. All in all i think 2-3% difference in DNA is smaller than 9% DNA so I wouldnt say that this little thing is human like me or you. For me it is like playing with words just like someone was trying to fool people whatever the truth is.
This helps; the point I keep trying to reinforce, though, is that “non-identified DNA” does not mean “non-human DNA.” There are several reasons DNA cannot be identified, or so my friend the geneticist tells me. I’m going to try and get a more clear statement or discussion out of him. Hopefully he’ll provide that. Right now he acts awfully bored with this and things like the Starchild skull. He’s literally uninterested by the “results” of such tests.
The skeleton doesn’t look right at all. You do realize that we can draw all kinds of alien sketches, and all those things we use in movies like IT or Starwars, etc., but none of them could actually exist. This is because any body has a purpose of function and it’s shape is only a result of containing the functional mechanism.
Whenever I look at all these various fakes, such as Ripleys stuff, I always think that I am looking at an example fake prepared by someone who has no idea about what he is doing. In Ripleys et all defense, they weren’t trying to fool the science, they were simply trying to fool the crowds and that had very little harm if any as well, because the crowds do not care one way or another, it is simple fleeting amusement for them.
If you look at the bones of this fake, you’ll see that the cranium was purposefully deformed. If you look at the extremities, you’ll see that the bones were cut off from normal bones. This is because the bones are too cylindrical to be functional. What do I mean? Take out a fork or a spoon and take a good look at it. Why is there a handle wider than the middle “stem” portion? Why is the rack also wider than a stem? This is because the material used in a stem is strong enough to connect the rack and the handle without being thick, and so it is minimized to minimize the weight, as beyond connecting it has no other function. A connection function doesn’t require any material whatsoever, as long as the connection is achieved. This means that if we had some other way of establishing the connection (where the handle is dimensionally fixed to the rack, such as magnets), then we would not put any material in the middle at all, – there would be just air.
Similarly with the rack and the handle. Their function is to interact with food and our hand, this is why they made wider, – to minimize the pressure per square inch we need to apply to hold the handle, and to maximize the working edge width of a rack.
Function dictates shape. The skeleton presented here is fake, because it wasn’t built with this idea in mind, and therefore it was built with an idea to simply achieve a particular shape, – exactly what a forger would do.
“Pzaaaahhhhhh!” Come witness the magic, the mystery, and the fantastical of “Atta-boy”
Atta-boy t’s and hats 75 percent off, (includes 30 minute dramatic re-enactment of the archeology team’s wild discovery on DVD!),.
