The ‘Roswell alien’ photo, once hailed as undeniable proof, is now revealed as a mummified boy—truth or deeper cover-up?

Last week, UFO researchers in Mexico City said they had two photographs taken in Roswell that provided ‘undeniable’ evidence of alien life.

The images, which created a buzz among conspiracy theorists, claimed to show a small human-shaped figure with an enlarged head – apparently in a display case with an unreadable placard.

The work was done by a member of the Roswell Slides Research Team used a newly acquired source image of the placard seen in front of the body.

The sign in front of the ‘alien’ reads: ‘Mummified body of two year old boy.’

An identical photo was later discovered with the complete information: ‘Mummified body of two year old boy.

‘At the time of burial the body was clothed in a slip-over cotton shirt. Burial wrappings consisted of three small cotton blankets. Loaned by Mr. S. L. Palmer, San Francisco, California.’

Several UFO researchers noticed that in the documentary trailer researchers are seen looking at one of the slides.

Many have compared the images to previous photos of mummies from the Smithsonian. Pictured is a Roman child mummy (bottom) with opening ringed compared to 'Roswell slide' (top)

Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut who was the sixth person to land on the moon, attended the event and said he believed the images were authentic.

 

Roswell, New Mexico sprang to international fame on July 8, 1947, when the local newspaper reported the capture of a ‘flying saucer’ by government officials in the town. The original Roswell hoax alien autopsy pictures, including this one, were unveiled in 1995
