The discovery was made in Colombia and sent to Spanish alien researcher, Josep Guijarro.

It is said the foetus could be an ‘alien’ or a ‘tiny humanoid’ from a civilisation that lived on Earth many years ago.

Josep confirmed it died in the foetal position, but said he is ‘cautious’ to identify it as an alien.

He said it appears to be the foetus of a mammal with some kind of genetic malformation.

Josep believes it is more likely to be a placental mammal because it has an umbilical cord which are found in these mammals.

Humans usually have 12 ribs on each side of the body, but this creature has 10.

This comes after the discovery of a pair of alien mummies in Peru that actually turned out to be dolls made from Earthly bones.

They were rumoured to be of otherworldly origin and were shipped off for forensic analysis, along with a separate three-fingered hand believed to be from Peru’s Nazca region.

But in a press conference in Lima the forensics team wasted no time in setting the record straight and confirming they were dolls.

The foetus found in Colombia bears similar resemblance to the small humanoid known as Ata that was found in an abandoned church in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

Ata was sold to Spanish businessman and researcher Ramon Navia-Osorio Villar.

He believes Ata is not an alien but is from a tiny race of people who used to live with the Aymara people in South America many years ago.

He said: ‘We received it at the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences and there we carried out the first X-ray, with low radiation so as not to damage the specimen.

‘They already told us that they did not know what it was, the head was so voluminous, the hands were so elongated, it had no kneecaps, and the clavicle was more triangular than that of humans – I started to worry.

‘How could it be a human foetus if it had calluses on its feet? This creature was not extraterrestrial, it was terrestrial.

‘They were very small people who lived in caves and only came out at night, hence its strange almond-shaped eyes.

‘A native friend from the Aymara tribe told me that these beings used to live with their ancestors before the Spanish settlers arrived.’

DNA analysis carried out suggested she was a human female foetus with mutations linked to dwarfism and scoliosis.

But a follow-up study by Professor Sian Halcrow from the University of Otago disputed this finding.

She said: ‘As experts in human anatomy and skeletal development, we find no evidence for any of the skeletal anomalies claimed by the authors.’

Just the other day a mysterious black ring was spotted floating in the sky above Argentina.

As it swayed in the sky, it then began to move towards the person filming before the footage suddenly ends.

Some social media users were convinced it was a UFO, and others believed it was a freak weather pattern or fire.
