For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

I'm still waiting for properly independent results. Alien mummies from a known faker have a even higher bar than your normal run-of-the-mill alien mummies.

I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

I, for one, am a bit underwhelmed. I'd hope our extraterrestrial conquerors would be a bit more impressive.

I find it hilarious how chill everyone is being about this discovery. Like no one is rushing to debunk it. It's almost like all the lies and misinformation have desensitized the population down to the point we could have a headline of alien starship landing in Australia and we'd all still go to work and school like any other day. Teacher would still expect you to have your homework and management would still do their morning brief for the days operations. You'd still have the normal traffic going home and you'd still have Trump claiming the election was rigged.

Because they've already effectively been debunked? And even if you don't believe that, there's little reason for excitement given the pedigree.

Brief overview here.

As it's from a known faker of alien mummies, I think most people are waiting for independent evidence of this.
