STRANGE ALIEN PHOTOS - WIESBADEN, GERMANY, MAY 1950
WIESBADEN, GERMANY, MAY 1950
Discovered among FBI files when they were released to the UFO Information Network in 1977 was a fuzzy photocopy of a picture. This showed a child-sized alien wearing breathing equipment being led by the hand by two military personnel. The suggestion was that it had been captured alive following a crash. In 1981, German researcher Klaus Webner found that it was a spoof using the 5-year-old son of the photographer and retouched artwork which might have been evident had the newspaper in the FBI archives noted that its original publication was in a local German paper on 1 April 1950. A better April Fool was played by another German paper in 1952. This time the alien was much smaller and naked, resembling a hairless monkey. Again, it contained clues pointing to a hoax not least that the original authors of the accompanying piece translated roughly into English as Mr Fraud and Mr Make Believe!
