The six-inch alien mummy found in 2003 in Chile’s Atacama desert, is actually a tiny mutated human.
The Ata tiny skeleton, named after the Chilean Atacama desert where he was found, has 10 pairs of rib and looks like an alien.
Now according to a new full genetic analysis, published Thursday in the journal Genome Research, the six-inch skeleton is human.

Stanford University geneticist Garry Nolan, an author of the new report, said:
“We were able to look at all the mutations that were in this individual. And everybody is born with mutations. This person just happened to roll snake eyes.”
