Researchers Finally Solve Mystery of 'Alien' Skeleton (cnn.com)
When the mummified remains of a six-inch humanoid were found in an abandoned mining town in Chile's Atacama desert 15 years ago, speculation on its origins ran wild. The skeleton, it is being reported, was so bizarre it appeared in a documentary as potential evidence for alien life. But now scientists in California have extracted DNA from the mummy's bones and pieced together the real and tragic story of the individual, known as Ata. Rather than a visitor from another world, Ata was a girl who appears to have been stillborn, or to have died immediately after birth, with devastating mutations that shaped her extraordinary body. From a report: Now, the authors of a study based on five years of genomic analysis want to set the record straight: Ata is human, albeit one with multiple bone disease-associated mutations. And they believe that their findings, published Thursday in the journal Genome Research, could help diagnose genetic mutation-based cases for living patients. In 2003, Ata was found in a deserted mining town called La Noria, in Chile's Atacama region. It was thought to be ancient at first, but initial analysis conducted in 2012 proved that the skeleton was only about 40 years old. This meant DNA would still be intact and could be retrieved for study.

That wasn't a documentary of anything.
You're a retarded traitor no matter what "the left boogeyman" believes...
So I guess this falls under Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is most likely the truth. Still as the study noted that's a lot of mutations, and references to a toxic mine.
Headline should read "Solve" the mystery of the alien bones, since obviously it's just a coverup.

Lool I love the brainwashed, braindead comments you keep posting. Keep it up
Wasn't there a farside comic about prehistoric good looking male and female couple, and then a really ugly one banging two rocks together, with the caption something like "Guess which one became the fossil that scientists discovered?"
Behold everyone, the sad homophobic Antifa being who derides my intelligence when he himself (and we all know it's a he) can't even figure out a Slashdot login and doesn't seem to understand the topic at hand.
The funny thing is, he is a far greater Trump supporter than myself - who would not want to back Trump after reading the things people like him write? Would you want to spend even five minutes in his basement lair? I think not.

Yea right the deep state is attempting to confuse us like they are with their claims about president Trump. They don't want us to know the truth about the aliens. If you are tired of hearing all this fake news check out the real truth at Infowars and Breitbart. They know the real truth about the deep state trying to hide the aliens attack president Trump and oppress white people. Enough of the lies!
Clintlickers like yourself still refuse to accept that Bill ain't the daddy of Chelsea "Horseface" Clinton.
they breed their own stock, if you get my meaning
This is what happens when humans mate with aliens who haven't been through the Human Compatibility Program (HUCOP) yet. Happens every darned time. I keep telling aliens this, and they never listen...
Rest in Peace little one
This is seriously old news. Years old.
Yes. Nice.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I like a world without mysteries. This encourages people to rely on and believe science and reason instead of magic and mysticism. That can't help but be a good thing.

Does this translate into Aliens unlikely to be that small on other worlds. An interesting thought...

The Ancient Alien was neither ancient nor an alien. Discuss
Cancer Man and the Black Helicopters want you to believe it was just an unfortunate human being. Yet the truth is out there!
I'm not saying it was aliens, but this guy is:

And people ask me, all the time, "is this skeleton an alien skeleton?" So many people ask. Who knows? But the best people are asking. The best!
