In May 2007, a strange creature was caught on a Mexican ranch in Metepec. The rumor that the "alien child" had been found spread like wildfire on Mexican television channels. They were filled with reports of incredible events surrounding this creature's appearance. After a "thorough investigation" it was stated that "the alien's body is completely different from all known terrestrial creatures."
The fact that as soon as the details of the amazing find became public, the rancher died in a burned-out car gave a special mystery and even shocking piquancy to this story.
How it all happened
This unusual story took place on a ranch, where one Urso Ruíz regularly used rodent traps, which were later passed on as food to the owners of birds and snakes. One day an unusual creature was caught in a rat trap. The creature appeared to be about the size of a mouse, but it looked like a small man with a long tail.
The strange creature gave off blood-curdling sounds, which caught the attention of the man who set the trap, as well as several others, including the rancher, who were in the vicinity at the time.
Promotional video:
The creature was so unusual and scary that the men regretted that it had fallen into the trap. Nobody dared to approach him. At night, the creature howled and screamed in pain, but no one dared to come up to free it or silence it.
After several days of annoying howling, the men decided to stop it, entered the room and poured acid on the creature. Such a cruel step led to the quick death of the creature, and his body over time was mummified and frozen in a terrifying pose.
Further development of history
Apparently, thanks to the television hype, researchers were attracted to the study of the remains of the creature, who came to the conclusion: such an animal does not exist in the fauna of the Earth, since the body has the characteristics of lizards and humans at the same time. However, they could not determine exactly where this creature came from.
The researchers, in particular, stated that the creature's teeth were not covered with tooth enamel, the spine was significantly different from the structure of the primate's spine, and the creature's brain was well developed, unlike the monkeys. In addition to these claims, DNA analysis results were published in early 2009, which became "completely unique" because they did not match any of the known DNA sequences of terrestrial organisms.
In August and September 2009, the well-known German magazine BILD published sensational articles related to the "alien child". This made the story known at the global level. The riddle of the "alien child" has become a hot topic of discussion for various platforms and forums.
Since the event took place in Mexico, where Spanish is the native language of local residents, the materials that appear later were published on the Internet in Spanish. This became a major challenge for English-speaking researchers who had to use special translation systems to gain access to new details.
Investigation and exposure
Many biologists still believe that the "alien mystery" was just a fiction, and that the "alien child" itself is the remains of a Squirrel monkey, whose anatomy is very similar to the body of an "alien child."
A second attempt at DNA analysis showed that the results of the previous analysis had been misinterpreted, and the test itself was called "Mexican". In particular, it was found that the DNA sample of the creature was not found at all, probably due to acid exposure. Therefore, the conclusion of the researchers that the DNA sequence does not coincide with the DNA of other known creatures cannot be justified.
Later, the British channel "Channel 4" conducted its own investigation, and it turned out that the whole story is a big hoax. The question remained open why the first DNA test did not allow the identification of the creature. There is an explanation for this, if the DNA analysis was not performed at all and the results were simply falsified. The theory was also put forward that in the mummified remains, it is possible that the DNA in the tissues has degraded to such an extent that over time it became impossible to identify it.
In the course of further investigation, Urso Ruiz, the same person who claimed to be the first to see the creature, was subjected to a lie detector test. In the end, he admitted that he made a creature out of a dead monkey, which was sent to the zoo where he worked. Ruiz placed the creature on a rat trap and told the farmer that he saw him still alive.
There are people who go to scam just to get attention and take advantage of the fact that people crave for “alien child” stories. And although the truth in this mysterious story has been published, videos of the "amazing creature" continue to circulate, and sensational articles continue to proliferate.
