Looks like those creatures in the Ghoulies movies

So what do you think - a definite fake, or is it just a mutated fish??

I think I'll wait for the autopsy results.

Oh and where exactly are the remains of the 'flaming metal wreckage' of the thing it was supposedly in?

[Thinker]

It looks like one of the aliens in Flight of the Navigator, that MAX has picked up from across the galaxy!

Well if you ask me finding the deceased occupant of a crashed interstellar vessel can only lead to one sensible course of action. You completely ignore the actual craft, maybe even get rid of the pile 'o' junk messing up the backyard to some site you'll never recall, and then do what we'd all do and wrap the body in plastic before bunging it in the fridge for a couple of years like any normal person would. It goes without saying that you would not even take a single image of the crash. Then after some years go by you would naturally just randomly decide to take some pics and tell folks about it. Risky though, because then some shadowy men, who you can attribute to whatever nearby sciencey sounding place there is, will show up and conveniently take away the evidence. Yaaay physical evidence problem solved! Can just rely on crap pictures of object which for some reason is still mostly and unnecessarily covered by a sandwich bag, fame guaranteed.

Fish well past its sell by date perhaps or more likely, some form of veg what with the thin object coming off of it, stem or root perhaps.

May not be a fake as much as it is a delusional person with a penchant for ET flavoured fantasies who spun a tale based on some rotting crap she can't remember putting in there. We'll likely never know exactly what it was as it has been conveniently taken away. An act which might actually suggest hoax if the person is savvy enough to ensure that some shadowy men appear to remove the easiest means to an answer.

is Petrozavodsk anywhere near Chernobyl and her local chippy should really dispose of its out of date dead fish better fake fake fake

[Thinker]

See!!! Again, Shadowolf, stop being so pessimistic!

I imagine it must have made the milk taste funny though. It looks like an annihilated out-of-date cucumber!

In fact, I think we can all do better than that. We should all set up a good old alien hoax between us. I'll get the alien from left over dead rabbit that we are always finding behind the shed at work, someone can make some obscure looking metal disc with LED lights on, attach it to a stick and then float it precariously close to a building with wierd noises provided from another source. Sell it to The Sun who will no doubt put it on their front page and pay us hundreds for the story!

Who's with me?.....Anybody.....

kept it in her fridge for two years... while she took five pictures to prove its existence.

If you want my take on it, this woman is also an alien. Would explain why it took her 2 years to figure out how to work that clever piece of tech that us humans call a 'camera'.

[Shadowwolf]

Quite

... stop being so pessimistic!

Ah reality, such a damper on the fantastic

[Croatguy]

[M Paul Lloyd]

Sorry... doesn't seem to be working Croatguy?

[Croatguy]

A little resemblence here

[Shadowwolf]

Perhaps she should have gone with a dead demon story, but then that is so fourteenth century, aliens get better press these days.

[Healerman]

I think I'll wait for the autopsy results.

Don't hold your breath, those two Russians were MiB

[M Paul Lloyd]

I bet the poor woman can't even recall finding it and is left wondering why her fridge smells so bad.

[The Beige Avenger]

5 years and the best photo available is a foostie bag of meat.

[Liam Sheppard]

rubbish! wouldn't have a brain big enough to invent intersteller flight, and I ask that you put a fish in the fridge for 2 years and then see that it hasn't gone mouldy and rotten
