Reasoning Seventy years ago a girl discovered a strange skeleton in a tunnel in Mexico. All that remains of the skeleton today is the skull. In 1999 the skull was given to Lloyd Pye, an American author and researcher into an alternative theory of the origin of human life. Since that time Pye has been trying to prove that the skull, named ‘Starchild’, is that of an alien. The skull is much less heavy than a human skull, has an unusual shape and unusually placed eye sockets. It also has strange fibres running through the bone. Various tests have been done on the skull, showing that its bone has a different chemical composition from human bone. A DNA test has shown that the mother of ‘Starchild’ was human, but the father’s genetic heritage could not be recovered. Pye has concluded that ‘Starchild’ is a hybrid of a human mother and an alien father. Some scientists are more sceptical and believe that ‘Starchild’ was a malformed human.
