In the photo: an experiment to restore the appearance of the "Star Child"
It happens that people find very strange artifacts, and in the most unexpected places. The find, which we will talk about today, may well become a confirmation of the visit of aliens from other worlds to our planet
In 1930, a 15-year-old American woman named Maria, along with her parents, went on vacation to relatives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. They had to rest 160 kilometers south-west of the city of Chihuahua, among the grandiose beauty of the Copper Canyon, surpassing in size and depth the famous Grand Canyon in the nearby American state of Arizona. After the joyful meeting, the relatives immediately warned the young senorita not to try to explore the numerous caves and abandoned mines around the village during walks - according to local beliefs, evil spirits lived there. Of course, the girl did exactly the opposite.
Maria really enjoyed exploring the surroundings of the village, and one day she came across an old mine that looked like a long tunnel. In it, the girl found a female skeleton lying on her back. A small mound was poured next to it, from where a deformed and shriveled small hand could be seen, grasping the forearm of the skeleton found. The American dug up the mound and found under it the children's remains with an extremely strange skull. She decided to restore both skeletons, for which she put the bones in a large basket, allegedly taken for picking berries in the forest, took it to the house of her relatives and hid it in the far corner of the garden. Two days passed, and at night a terrible thunderstorm struck the village. The downpour turned into a real flood. The next morning Maria found the basket upside down. The streams of water carried away most of the bones. Only a few were found, including both skulls.
70 years in a cardboard box
Maria brought her finds home to El Paso, Texas. Strange child's skull is unusually wide, flat neck and small eye sockets, she thought the product kakogo-

is human ugliness and with a skull alleged mother for many years kept in a cardboard box as a souvenir, reminiscent of the exciting trip to a Mexican family … In the early 90s, feeling the approach of death, Maria gave the box to her close friend, taking his word to protect the relic. He put the box on a shelf in his garage, where he stood for five years.

In the end, the new owner of the Copper Canyon skulls told his friends, the Young spouses, who had a biological education and were interested in ufology, the search for Bigfoot and other unconventional research about them. After carefully examining both skulls, Ray Young said: “This skull is human. And this one … He is very strange and could very well belong to an alien. His wife Melanie, who at various times worked as a nurse and physiotherapist, also doubted that a child's skull was a product of typical human deformities. And then the Young couple decided to seek help from a specialist.
Attempts to reconstruct the appearance
Gift
In 1997, in the USA, in the publishing house "Adam Press", a publication was published under the title "All your knowledge is wrong. Book one: the origin of man. " Its author - Lloyd Pye, a writer and researcher of Bigfoot - presented curious arguments in the book in defense of his hypothesis of evolution, which was fundamentally at odds with both Darwin's theory and the views of supporters of the divine origin of man. This text aroused great interest, and the name of Lloyd Pye became popular in America.
In February 1999, Ray Young called the writer and said he wanted to show him something. At the appointed hour, the couple came to Pai with a cardboard box. They removed two bags from it, unfolded the package and silently laid two skulls on the table. One of them was clearly human and did not arouse much interest in Lloyd Pye, but the other … The writer looked at him with all his eyes, feeling how he was seized by the strongest excitement. Pye recalls: “The skull was small, strange in shape, with unusual eye sockets. I held it in my hands, looked into the eye sockets and felt that I was in contact with something alien. Ray and Melanie asked what he thinks of turtles and what he thinks should be done with them? The writer replied that one of the skulls may not be human, although it looks like it, and that this skull needs to be examined. Then the visitors invited Pai to accept from them both skulls and to take over the organization of all research. To which he gladly agreed.
Project "Starchild"
From a medical point of view, the skull, which with the light hand of Lloyd Pye was named "Starchild" - "Star Child", could well belong to a child who suffered from a number of diseases: brachycephaly, hydrocephalus, Cruson's syndrome and, possibly, anophthalmia. Actually, initially Pai, despite his inclinations as an alternative scientist, nevertheless adhered to this point of view. Let us clarify that brachycephaly is a broad term used to describe disproportionately wide skulls, and hydrocephalus is a disease in which an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull leads to an increase in internal pressure in it and gives it an unusual "inflated" shape.
Cruson syndrome is an inherited disorder that causes premature fusion of the cranial sutures in children and can lead to incomplete development of the midface and small eye sockets. With anophthalmia, the eyeball is also unusually small.
As part of the Starchild project deployed by Pai, both skulls were radiocarbon dated. A female skull at the University of California at Riverside in 1999, a child's skull at Miami in 2004. Both tests established their age - 900 years with a possible error of 40 years. The age of the child was determined by the dentist as four and a half to five years. Measurements showed that the volume of the Star Child's brain was 1600 cubic centimeters, while even in an adult it averages 1400 cubic centimeters. Starchild's skull is also distinguished by the absence of frontal sinuses. And conducted in Vancouver, Canada, in the BOLD laboratory, genetic studies showed that the woman and the child were not even related.
Is his father an alien?
The thickness of the bones of the Star Child's skull is two to three times less than that of an ordinary person, while these bones are much stronger and more durable and in their structure are more like tooth enamel. Under the microscope, it was seen that the fibers contained in them are intertwined, like reinforcement in cement, which has never been observed in human skulls. I must say that the very presence of fibers is unusual. Currently, doctors identify the so-called Morgellon disease, when fibrous structures - translucent and clearly visible even with the naked eye - are found in the soft tissues of patients. These fibers are composed of high density polyethylene and, possibly, enter the body from food additives. However, the first descriptions of Morgellon's disease date back to the 17th century.
Starchild fibers are opaque and completely indistinguishable without special equipment. They can only be seen with a scanning electron microscope. At the same time, the bones and joints of those suffering from Morgellon disease carry all the signs of degeneration, and the bones of the Star Child's skull are very strong.
With hydrocephalus, the bones of the skull are also thinner than usual, but they are fragile and weak. Research conducted in 2004 under the direction of Dr. Ted Robinson conclusively showed that Starchild's skull morphology is not the result of hydrocephalus. It is curious that at the same time in his reports, Dr. Robinson called the skull "human-like" or "very unusual human-like".
Finally, in 2003, skull samples underwent nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis. The result really surprised scientists: the mother of the Star Child was a completely normal Indian, but the father turned out to be not quite human or not at all human. A re-analysis carried out in the past, 2010, on more advanced equipment, confirmed that a significant part of Starchild's genome has no analogues on Earth, although it was noted, for example, the complete similarity of the first Starchild chromosome with a human. So the father of the young owner of a strange skull could well be at least a mutant, or even a real alien from another planet.
