And you point being ......
If indeed this thread is closed then how am i able to post a reply......
And i have not seen and conclusion besides 2 guys 'claiming' to have made it.
*NOTE: The website the Russian agency quotes is from the Ukraine.*
The tiny “dead alien” is just skin from chicken filled with bread, reports the website 7d.org.ua. Police questioned the men who claimed to have found the “body” and they allegedly confessed to creating it themselves. The chief editor of the local Kabansk-Info newspaper initially thought that it was the body of an infant in the video and alerted the police. Officers immediately started the investigation and identified the alleged author.
Benjamin Radford, a paranormal investigator and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, said the video is most certainly the work of pranksters. "It's clearly a hoax," he said. The first "big red flag" is the way the video was shot, he said. Instead of just stumbling upon the alien, the camera man gives the viewer a wide-angle so-called "establishing shot" of the landscape before zooming right onto the alien as he and his friend find it. "This is film-making 101. We see this in sitcoms, we see this in virtually every film in order to establish a place and scene for the viewer," he said.
Even without getting our hands on what is probably a rubber doll, there are several signs that this video is a hoax. The first is the way the video was shot; it opens with what is called an "establishing shot." This is a common filmmaking technique to let the viewers know where the scene is taking place. (We see this in sitcoms, for example, when we're shown the exterior of a house or apartment before cutting to the action inside the room.)

Closed threads are just as disturbing as ones that 404.

Confused……
This might be a fake, it might be real, I personally think that it is most likely a fake. I first became aware of this story on the website of the Telegraph, my first thought was to check out some other articles then check out the YouTube video when I saw the multitude of MSN outlets running with this story and the 3 million hits on YouTube I instantly wanted to know more and I thought I knew were to go, ATS.
The only thread where this is actively being discussed is in the Hoax Forum and on some other thread debunking the story with an article from Russia Today because the ATS staff have either 404’ed or closed every other thread on the story. Now I am usually the guy you all get annoyed at, the sceptic who start’s trying to debunk the video ask the awkward questions but even I have to ask:
ATS WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!?!
This story has massive coverage in the MSN and over 3 million YouTube hits these 3 million are going to want to find out more. As the largest conspiracy forum on the net, you would think ATS would have this splashed all over the home page to attract more users. Not relegated to the hoax forum, at least not this quickly. this is missing out on a prime opportunity to gain new members, instead this is being perceived by some members as a “cover-up” and it will just put people off. Even if this is a hoax by keeping this thread in the Aliens forum you would increase traffic as people debate whether it is a hoax or not and then when it finally becomes a “confirmed hoax” (I don’t think it has yet) then move it to the hoax forum.
Like I said at the start, this has left me very confused.

Out of the five duplicate threads I found on this topic, this is the earliest one made,
The chief editor of the local Kabansk-Info newspaper initially thought that it was the body of an infant in the video and alerted the police. Officers immediately started the investigation and identified the alleged author. The tiny “dead alien” is just skin from chicken filled with bread... The scared man reportedly showed a fake alien corpse. It was even painted in “alien colors."
Benjamin Radford, a paranormal investigator and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, said the video is most certainly the work of pranksters. "It's clearly a hoax," he said. The first "big red flag" is the way the video was shot, he said. Instead of just stumbling upon the alien, the camera man gives the viewer a wide-angle so-called "establishing shot" of the landscape before zooming right onto the alien as he and his friend find it. "This is film-making 101. We see this in sitcoms, we see this in virtually every film in order to establish a place and scene for the viewer," he said. "It makes sense in the context of a fake film but it does not make sense in the context of someone suddenly finding this alien creature."
Air traffic controllers in Siberia claim they were buzzed by a high-speed UFO with a female sounding alien who spoke in an unintelligible cat-like language. The mystery object suddenly burst onto flight monitors over the remote Russian diamond capital of Yakutsk. It was shown flying at a speed of slightly over 6000 mph, and rapidly changing direction in the early morning sky, it is claimed.
