CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track

A couple of years ago an extraordinary man came to England. His name is Lloyd Pye and he is the keeper of what he believes is indisputable proof that aliens not only visit this planet but while they're here interbreed with human beings .

According to Lloyd, the story begins between 60 and 70 years ago when a teenage Mexican/American girl was visiting relatives in a remote village southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico. The mountains are honeycombed with complex cave systems and mines, and the girl was forbidden by her family from exploring them. However, being a feisty young thing she disobeyed them and went anyway.

According to Lloyd "At the back of a mine tunnel she found a complete human skeleton lying on the ground's surface. Beside it, sticking up out of the ground, was a malformed skeletal hand entwined in one of the human skeleton's upper arms. The girl proceeded to scrape the dirt off a shallow grave to reveal a buried skeleton smaller than the human one".

One of the skulls was definitely human but the other most definitely is not. It completely lacks sinuses, it has large, shallow eyes, its foramen (the hole through which the spinal cord goes to the brain), is in a completely different position and that of a human being which implies that its centre of gravity was completely different. there dozens of other differences as well which make this skull unique in the annals of science and medicine.

She took the two skulls back with her. Apparently, the tunnel caved in soon after, but the girl kept the skulls for the remainder of her life. On her death they changed hands a couple of times and eventually ended up with Lloyd Pye.
There are stories in Mexican folklore of people from the stars who visit villages in rural Mexico and breed with the people who live there. According to these stories the Star people return and take their children back with them when they're about six or seven years old. Lloyd has hypothesised that the two skulls tell a sad and very human story.

He has suggested that a human mother - heartbroken at the thought of losing her child when its alien father came back to collect it - preferred to go to a remote mine, kill the child and then commit suicide herself.

Since he obtained the skull in 1997 he has been raising money to carry out scientific tests on it. He has already ascertained that it is about 900 years old, and preliminary DNA tests suggest that it is at least partly human. Lloyd needs to raise a lot more money to continue his investigations. You can read all about the skull, the investigations, and Lloyd's campaign at http://www.starchildproject.com/ He is an extremely nice man and deserves your support.

This is your chance to be part of what - if Lloyd is correct - is possibly the most important scientific investigation of all time.

However, although I have the greatest respect for Lloyd, I believe that he is barking completely up the wrong tree. I believe that the skull is extraordinarily interesting but can be explained without recourse to men from another planet. There are other ancient Mexican legends of small dwarf-like creatures said to live in caves in the more remote parts of the country. In his book The Humanoids (1969), Charles Bowen describes modern-day encounters with such creatures across South and Central America. Although it is true that some commentators believe that these creatures are aliens, others - including yours truly - have suggested that they are more likely to be an unknown species of ape, or porssibly another species of human..

When I was in Mexico during 1998 I heard a number of accounts of therse strange hairy dwarves who supposedly lived in caves in the wilder parts of the country. They were said to be very shy, but harmless, and although I was initially disposed to assume that a new type of nocturnal monkey or ape is living in these desert caves, the local people with whom I spoke seemed to be convinced that these things were human rather than animals.

The folk stories describe a considerable degree of interaction between humans and these hairy dwarfs which might explain why the skull was found alongside another which is indisputably human. Rather than one dismissing the skull because one does not believe in aliens and especially not in them visiting Earth and interbreeding with our own species, I believe that one should instead consider the so-called "Starchild-Skull" to be one of the most important Cryptozoological specimens yet discovered – evidence that we are not the only species of human on the planet.

However, if Lloyd is right, then the implications are far far greater, and this is the first scientific evidence that we are not alone in the cosmos. Whichever of these theories proves to be true, this skull is certainly one of the strangest and most important specimens on the planet, and when its story is finally revealed to us it will force us to re-evaluate our whole position within creation.
