So it states it is just a human fetus.... which is exactly what it is!
Sirius seems to have sunk without a trace, just another con job by Greer.

a specimen with verifiable scientific tests just isn't enough for some people though.

Approximately 509 million (~91%) reads were mapped to the human reference genome hg19 (providing a 17.7 fold coverage of the genome). The presence of ~9% “unmatched” DNA should not be interpreted to represent anything unusual about the specimen itself. Reasons for the lack of match can include artefacts generated during library preparation, low quality reads from the instrument, or insufficient data to allow computational alignment against the human reference standard. Further, since this sample is likely to be at the least a few decade olds, and possibly older, DNA degradation resulting in apparently “false” mutations can occur.
Reconstruction of the mitochondrial DNA sequence and analysis shows an allele frequency consistent with a B2 haplotype group found on the west coast of South America

I find it interesting that the people who hailed from this region seem to have made the first mummies.

Not only is the Atacama desert known for plenty of old mummies, it is also known that the culture there on occasion shrunk heads and entire bodies before mummification. Back in the 50s, another researcher already found a shrunken fetus in the SAME area, except that at that time no one used the word "alien", it was immediately clear that it was "only" a shrunken fetus (or very young child). And the earlier one looked TO THE DOT exactly like the alleged Atacama "alien"!
Why is the newly found mummy now supposedly an alien? Oh wait! Because Greer is a conman, that's why.edit on 18-7-2013 by NoRulesAllowed because: (no reason given)
