Alien captured? Elaborate hoax?

IS this bizarre creature really an alien baby or just part of an elaborate hoax - and was it the cause of a mysterious revenge death?

Mexican TV revealed the almost unbelievable story - in 2007, a baby 'alien' was found alive by a farmer in Mexico.

He drowned it in a ditch out of fear, and now two years later scientists have finally been able to announce the results of their tests on this sinister-looking carcass.

At the end of last year the farmer, Marao Lopez, handed the corpse over to university scientists who carried out DNA tests and scans.

He claimed that it took him three attempts to drown the creature and he had to hold it underwater for hours.

Tests revealed a creature that is unknown to scientists - its skeleton has characteristics of a lizard, its teeth do not have any roots like humans and it can stay underwater for a long time.

But it also has some similar joints to humans.

Its brain was huge, particularly the rear section, leading scientists to the conclusion that the odd creature was very intelligent.

But it has seemingly left experts stumped.

And in a further mystery, Lopez has since mysteriously died.

According to American UFO expert Joshua P. Warren (32), the farmer burned to death in a parked car at the side of a road.

The flames apparently had a far higher temperature than in a normal fire!

Now there are rumours that the parents of the creature Lopez drowned were the ones who in turn killed him out of revenge.

There are frequent UFO sightings and reports of crop circles in the area where the creature was found. Perhaps it was left behind deliberately by aliens.

Famed Mexican UFO researcher and TV personality Jaime Maussan has released information about an apparent alien body that is under study in Mexico. Mr. Maussan tells Unknowncountry.com that the body is definitely real, but so far none of the DNA testing has revealed any known DNA. Anatomically, the creature displays a combination of structures similar to humans, such as joints, and others that suggest a reptilian origin. - unknowncountry

In 2007 a bizarre creature was discovered in a rat trap on a farm in Metepec, Mexico. About a year later, its existence came to the attention of Mexican UFO investigator and TV personality Jaime Maussan. Subsequently, it has been featured on the History Channel's Monster Quest program, and has been the subject of a vast amount of internet rumor.

Listen as Whitley Strieber interviews Jaime Maussan about the creature, and find out the truth about the DNA that has been found, the anatomical makeup of the creature, and certain hidden facts about it and about the fate of the farmer who found it that are truly startling. For example, the creature was NOT killed immediately on being found, it is NOT an infant, and, despite its size, it was extremely aggressive. - unknowncountry

What tests were done, specifically? Who did them? What were the results?

My Spanish interpreter, a friend from Mexico City, knows of Jaime Maussan and says he is a known liar who is just out to make money.  The Spanish video says in part that the History channel was skeptical at first and wanted to know how Jaime works, but then said they were impressed with the research and they believe it is real, possibly evidence of alien life.

What catches my attention is how similar it looks to another small "alien" I wrote about years ago on my UFO page:

Consider the ... creature found alive in the Southern Chilean city of Concepcion on Oct 1, 2002. The child who found it in some bushes claims it stayed alive for about eight days, and sometimes opened its eyes. "It has a relatively large head, two arms with long fingers, and two legs." It is hard to see the legs in the pictures.

Anyone have more info to clear this up?

With no other humans around for many miles, he drove on the road up to a 40 to 50 feet high, perfectly square, red light, much brighter than neon, floating above the road 20 to 30 feet. This red square was embedded on the back of an object much bigger, 60 or 70 feet wide. He could not go around, so he stopped 100 feet away and turned his lights off. The black object with the red square in the middle floated up without making a sound. They were there for a good 20 minutes looking at this thing. And then... well, listen to the interview.

This scientist "Mike" says he has seen the best technology the USA has and this was definitely not of this earth. He believes that he was given clues by these beings to a recent successful transportation technology advancement he made. He thinks they made contact with him to help him help us move our society forward.
