15. The Siberian Alien
In 2011, the video went viral on YouTube. It got 700,000 plus views and everybody was talking about it. Two friends, Timur Hilall and Kirill Vlasov, claim they were out for a walk and had found the mangled remains of an alien frozen in snow in Irkutsk. The reports nearly broke the Internet. The two Russians claimed they had stumbled upon the remains at a UFO crash sight. On April 20th, The Daily Mail did a piece, complete with pictures; “It just seems too strange to be true. But in the frozen wastes of Siberia two walkers claim to have found the body of an alien”. They described the creature, laying on its side, mouth slightly agape. And the paper added that the area was a UFO hotspot. There was such a sensation that the Russian government sent investigators out to interview the two.
Verdict: Prank by two Russian students using chicken and bread crumbs.
