Here’s a great example here of how Web video has transformed folklore.

This video of a supposed ‘Dead alien’ found in Russia is currently doing the rounds on  YouTube. The story goes that a UFO crash was sighted in the Irkutsk region of Siberia a month ago and that the ‘corpse’ in this video was subsequently found in the snow.

Is it real? Well – that’s unlikely, but as Mulder’s poster in The X-Files used to say, “I want to believe”.

I think most alien hoaxes fail on the fact that they always adhere to the same basic shape and form of humans (e.g. head, neck, body, arms/legs). There is undoubtedly intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but I reckon they'll look like nothing we'd ever imagine,

Eya! diss ting  look tasty o'. make i buy am, take home and make good fo-fo soup o'! 

That what they would have said if it landed in Nigeria.

Kind of reminds me of when that whale washed up on a Lagos beach last year and how people were almost coming to blows fighting for a slice of some decayed fish.

Hmmm, I think its naïve to think that us humans are the only creatures that exist within this universe

You are right, given how big the universe is , it is more than likely we are not the unique species we think we are.

True. However, it is even more naive to think that any intelligent life out there will be interested in playing hide and seek with humans by mysteriously flying round/oval objects to our planet in order to kidnap and sexually probe losers.

I don't beleive in UFO.

But as a muslim my religion says that human beign and Jinn are living in the universe but different world.

So people ascribe any uncommon things happen to UFO.

Well, if the life forms are composed of carbon like we are, and they live in worlds composed of matter as we know it on earth, it is likely that they may also evolve into humanoid forms. Conditions for survival would be similar on their worlds as well, to what we experience on planet earth. So it'd be a question of how quickly they could evolve and master the elements, compared to us, that would determine how advanced they would be.

Unless we are talking about something else, like beings who supposedly exist in a different dimension to ours.
