DNA study confirms 6-inch 'alien' skeleton belongs to a girl
A 6-inch deformed skeleton found in 2003 in Chile, which led to speculations of its extraterrestrial origins, has been confirmed to belong to a baby girl. Believed to be stillborn or died shortly after birth, she had 10 pairs of ribs instead of the usual 12 for humans. The US-based study revealed mutations in seven genes that cause accelerated growth.
