The summary:  A video showing what appeared to be individuals discovering a dead alien body in Siberia has been revealed to be a hoax.

The reaction:  We said originally that we thought this was a hoax and now the real story has surfaced.  And like in most cases with videos like these it turns out to be nothing more than the creation of a couple of guys with a little too much time on their hands.

Oh well.  I don’t mind a good convincing hoax every once in a while.

The summary:  A video uploaded to YouTube supposedly shows the dead corpse of an alien being captured in Siberia.

The reaction:  It’s an intriguing video to watch but most of these types of videos turn out to be hoaxes.  I imagine this one will ultimately be revealed to be a hoax as well.

That won’t stop me from watching it several times and wondering “what if?” though!
