recently this picture has come to light,
In 2001, Alan Lewis, sent the image along with the following story to Art Bell:
There’s no if in this case as the alien should be familiar.
It’s one of the most readily available alien props. It can be bought from Amazon for a couple hundred dollars.

Hey Zcustosmorum,
It's not so new...

..., but neither does it seem to have been debunked. Who knows, maybe we can drive the final stake through it's hoaxy little heart here on ATS.
This photo apperas on numerous UFO websites with a caption attributed to "Alan Lewis" which states "While cleaning out his house, I ran across the attached photo. If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the 'container', there is an Area 51 badge. I can't provide any proof that this is a genuine photo, however, the original didn't look faked to me.”
In fact, the "alien" in Koi Alien Photo 10 is a prop produced by Don Post (apparently dubbed by many as "The Godfather of Halloween" most famous for creating rubber masks for commercial sale and use in movies - including the Star Wars and Halloween film series), as discussed below.
The photograph was taken at the "Aliens: Worlds of Possibilities" exhibition developed by the Pacific Science Center, which opened in Seattle in 1998 and has been traveling the country ever since. The Manager of Exhibt Development of the Pacific Science Center was kind enough to generously answer a few questions I posed to her about the photograph back in 2007, including:
(1) Stating that the "alien" was purchased for $160 in 1997 at a local party supply store.
(2) Indicating that, prior to my email in 2007, the Pacific Science Center was unaware that a photo of their alien was being used as "evidence" of extraterrestrial life.
(3) Stating that the relevant exhibit was designed with a chain link fence/corrugated metal fence surrounding the space so visitors could not get near the case. This caused her to suggest that the individual in the photo may have been someone would have had access to the set before it was completed and sealed off from the public. Her comments also included the following:

the reason is that when good stuff comes to light people will just go with hoax.
This fake alien is in a section of our exhibition about debunking UFO’s. In the normal layout of the show it is staged near a section showing numerous Hollywood images of aliens, illustrating the real power of aliens as marketing tools. There is also a news clip about someone who thought they captured video of an alien craft while filming a music video. The clip shows the process of how the footage was investigated and later proved to be an insect flying through the scene. There are also photos of famous UFO images that were later debunked. The Debunking Area is usually followed by a timeline of space exploration showing all of the research activity conducted throughout the last several decades, with no resulting hard evidence of extraterrestrial beings.

Well that's due to the whole nature of this subject, more often than not, it is a hoax by whomever for whatever reasons. A hoax is probably one of the best forms of disinformation available to those wishing to cover up the reality of the situation
