Here's a very unusual photograph that is alleged to show an infant alien being. Quite frankly I don't know what to think when I look at this picture.



What do you think ? Alien being or some sort of puppet? All comments welcome.[

I have no idea, what this could be, it has cloven feet, what looks like two tubes, coming from its chest, what appears to be two fingers and a thumb on each hand, and a nose that is defenately there, but slightly elongated.

i could hasard a guess as to what it might be, but it would probably cause mass argument among other users.  I think it is a half developed marsupial featus? such as a kangaroo or wallaby, or it could be a doll of some sort.

I have got some more pictures:








I think it as a hoax.. When it isn't a hoax it has to be some sort of experimental thing..

Odin,

Thanks for those - I've never seen any of them except the one I posted. Certainly makes it even more of a mystery what the "entity" in the photographs actually is. It appears to emerge from an "egg" in the first few pictures - I would have to say it looks like a hoax, it's hard to imagine how it could be a genuine creature.

SaRuMaN,

I found the pictures with the Google. Enter Filiberto Caponi into it and you'll find enough info (most is Italian...) I found the name with the picture you posted (in the right corner is the name)

Here's some snippets of information I dug up on Google following your advise. Most of the sites it came up with were in Italian, but here's what I did find about the pictures in English.

Aliens Among Us By Tony Venables
I devoted six chapters to these extraordinary colourful Polaroid photographs [of an alleged alien being] taken by Filiberto Caponi in Italy. It’s a long complicated story, but we have these 6 photographs which he took between May and October of 1993. I’ve spent time in Italy on several occasions with Caponi and his family and I’m satisfied that he’s telling the truth. I met his grandmother, and this was the most compelling witness in a way for me, because she had actually witnessed him, her grandson, taking the last photograph close up. Then, of course, the problem is that Caponi is an artisan and he works in terracotta as well as being a fine painter. So the obvious conclusion that the sceptics come to is that he fabricated this creature. First of all, I commissioned a Law Society checked expert witness Professor Roger Green who specializes in examining imagery for the police in forensic analysis. And he determined, in his opinion – having studied examples of Caponi’s sculptures, terracotta work, and paintings – that the creature didn’t represent something that Caponi would have produced, were he to have fabricated it.

From a friend of Caponi
In Italy, photographer Filiberto Caponi claims to
have met an alien creature several times outside his house in Abruzzo. He captured it on Polaroid film in 1993. ..."

I'm a friend of Filiberto and he's from Pretare di Arquata del Tronto in Marche and not in Abruzzo. Filiberto is not a photographer, but a ceramist. Anyway I have investigated that case since 1993 and my conclusion is : it's true in every aspect.... In the July 1993 from a Radar of Rome (Pratica di Mare) and a Radar in the Marche(Falconara marittima) the Italian aeronautics destroyed a UFO flying from Lazio to Abruzzo... and with 2 air-to-air missiles it was destroyed. The fragments fell in the canal of Monte Vettore (a mountain) near Arquata. The pilots of the Caccia airoplain saw 3 balls leaving the UFO before the explosion. Three days later Filiberto
encountered the first alien... after several encounters in the area, I managed to take six photographs....

That last thing with those two missiles seems a bit fake.. Normally no army would just fire two missiles at something that they can't identify.

        Odin,  I don't know about what they might have done back in '93,  but I bet they'd shoot ANYTHING down these days,  if they thought it was a threat!  
         I think the pictures are very good,  but the 'baby' (sitting down) looks like someone in a costume,  and the ones standing up look like a doll.  BTW,  what happened to it?  Why isn't it on display? That's what makes stuff like this so hard to believe,  it's never available except for a few quick photos.  ???   jmo



     NORA

Looks like an interestingly made papier-mache project to me.  Look! they haven’t even finished colouring in under the neck yet!!   :o ::)

Tommy    

Reminds me of some people I know that live on the other side of the railroad tracks  :P

Hmm thanks for those pics guys, very interesting indeed  Perhaps old age is setting in (no one comment or else *grrr*) and i'm becoming a little more sceptical about things, but I find these pics so hard to see as anything other than a hoax.  For starters, the creature/being whatever you want to call it, doesn't appear to have noticed the photographer - but then again, if it were looking straight at the camera I guess i'd be saying, 'a little too posed?'  Very odd looking thing though ......does as Althalus stated put me in mind of a Joey. :)

If you look at the last photo, the legs and other parts of it look lumpy, but the lumps are part of it, so, after looking at the new pictures, I can say I think it looks like it is made out of papier mache, and they ran out of ochre three quarters of the way through painting it.

Also it's mouth never actually changes position on any of the photos, if it was alive then themouth would be in different poses at each picture, and it is standing up with it's legs half bent, like it was sitting on a stool, how many creatures do you know of that can stand like that, that have not got a tail, and do not have to lean forward for balance.

And how come the flash or light did not frighten it off, or scare it.

In my mind, if that was a real creature, it's facial expression would not be exactly the same in every picture.

TEXTFAKE, FAKE, FAKE. What a load of old COBBLERS.

DA ... speak your mind why don't you? *lol*

The question isn't anymore "Is it Fake?" but, how did he do it? He has done a good job that's for sure.

Odin Supreme  :so

An old doll, papier mache and bits of plastic, of different shapes, sizes and colours.  Probably

Thanks Crow. You know I am the shy reserved type. :sh

Yeah - forever being vague and beating around the bush, never saying what you mean and calling a spade an aardvark... :s2

Foam latex and a wire armature (I think)

I could make one for under £30  :s1

Ew.  What bizarre Giger-esq nipples they've given it.  And kermit-the-frog legs.  

Looks like the results of a primary school art class to me.  Probably based on the their teacher.  I bet he/she was flattered!

::)  ;)

Whatever it was, they definitely put a good job into it. Hell, I'd be willing to but the model off of ebay just to have around my house. "Oh, hey Chris, meet Cluth'Tuk, the prodigal alien infant!" There definitely was a lot of effort in it, but you're right the lack of facial change and the posing seem to indicate that, despite the obvious life like look, it is either dead or non-animated to start with.

I'm really confused on one thing though. What the heck are those first two pictures? They look like eggs, and I am given the impression that it hatched, but  I don't really see how it got out, or how big that egg is supposed to be. It definitley has moved around quite a bit too, but convienently the only pictures are only when it is situated and posed.  :st

-Test Bear

PS Does anyone else think that the first egg seems to be floating over the rest of the picture? That shadow seems to be from different lighting then the rest of the photo.

this is pretty and very fake.
but nevertheless interesting!

I agree on the paper mache theory.

On the other hand, if I wanted to make a fake, and it came out looking like this, I wouldn't spread the pics around. It looks like the Poo-creature from Loo-town.

So that's an argument for it being real.

What made me slightly dubious was the fact that this 'thing' crawled out of some egg type of creation, 'hatched' out on a cobbled floor, crawled through the guys vegetable patch (3rd pic) and kindly posed for a couple of pictures whilst sat on a concrete floor before finally parading around on the guys lawn for a final picture!!


It looks like a teracota or papier mache model to me but in my opinion this one is more convincing!!

it looks fake to me, far to stereotypical also of what we imagine aliens to look like!very like spielbergs E.T, which makes you wonder!

First time i saw this i had no idea what it was. its very ugly lookin wouldnt you agree?

Well, my first thought is "dammit that's just a fake" but you never know, it could be a creature from the planet of pumpkin headed papier mache dollie looking things. I mean, look at platypi and those echidna looking things. Mammals that lay eggs? It's all screwy. But I still think it's a fake.

to be honest it looks like this guy baught a kindergardners art project and took pictures

KF I really don't know WHAT in the heck it is. Hear what my friend has to say.
SP: It has a 'painted' look to it, like it was painted. I think the same as KF.

Looks Like some guy dressed up his 4 year son in an alien costume and stuffed him in an egg.

I think it's a fake too, but my thinking so is based on the apparent lack of movement in the creature. A polaroid should streak with movement, right? Maybe I don't have that right..

Anyway, about the lack of facial expression.. the mouth and nose is supposed to be vestigal.. in other words, they don't use them anymore. They are supposed to communicate by telepathy and eat by immersion in vats of liquid food. So I wouldn't say the lack of facial expression means it's a fake.

It looks like it's made of sausages.

The hoses obviously don't make any sense to us. Why would they need hoses to connect two internal organs (presumably)? It smacks of artistic innovation.. makes it copywritable too.

I don't think the "shooting down" story is credible either.

Well about this picture .. i do not think that this is a real alien.. he looks like a dinasour from a museum that i have seen before.. but i do not remember very well .. but i am sure that i have seen it before

Looks like a baby alien puppet

OMG!!!! The attack of the potatoe ppl has begun!!!

Hehe sorry reminds me of potatoes stuck together for some reason.

Definitly a fake in my book. If you want to see a convincing alien puppet watch the short film Herd.

awwwwww how cute.but what im wondering is how the hell did they get a picture that good?

Hello,

The ceramist did nothing more than build a ceramic alien. It is too obvious. I work with ceramists. The body is so hard, disproportionate and ridiculously fake looking, especially since my grandfather was in the airforce and came across an E.T., and he never said they looked like that!


WW

what's so strange about this - me is the difference b/w the first to pics of it sitting on its own and the last one. in the first two, it's about in the ame position, like it just turned its head a bit and the photographer mover to the side. also, notice that the white is only on the tubes, and the very underpart of the neck and head. its body is smooth and dry looking. in the third, its legs are lumpy, the white has spread all the way down its chest, and it seems glossy. also, its much oranger and the legs are longer. i doubt that its standing , but rather sitting with the legs stretched out in front. fake, but very VERY creepy.

It looks like the picture is from a movie or from a wax museam,Its definitely not real!

hello everybody, its my first post on this board

About this story, there is an interesting link here :

http://pgrsel.100megs13.com/htm/caponif.htm

I give u this link for a french to english translation :

http://trans.voila.fr/voila?systran_lp=fr_...an_f=1062778002

I think it's a serious report as there are all the details of all its known on it, it can helps (or not..) to know if it's a fake or not.

Hope it could help.

Could be a prop( egg and all) of a movie, o so cleverly build to seem real with out useing the gadamn CGI cartoon effects. I would.

The question is that if the movie is good enough to fool audiences as well as us?!

But i think that in the mean time, we find this " Fiberto Calbino" and torture him with the Carrot Brigade and the Goons...

If he does not submit, will WE succed in find the answer, with the movie bomb...

NAyone notice how the alien looks like the ReDead from ocarina of time?

eeeee.....stuffed toy
