Atacama Alien

Picture
"Ata is the common name given to the 6-inch (150 mm)-long skeletal remains of a human that were found during 2003 in a deserted Chilean town in the Atacama Desert, hence the abbreviated name. . . . 

While ufologists have said they think that Ata is an extraterrestrial, this speculation is inconsistent with DNA testing of the remains."
