A very well done hoax. Impressive how realistic the alien looks. Too bad authorities are considering prosecution!

mike: One of the comments on the site reads:

"Is anybody looking at the picture of the alien model on this web page? It is not the same as the alien filmed in the snow. For one, the model is blue. The alien has skin and is orange. Is anybody paying attention? This model was made after the fact, to try and discredit the actual alien body. The model does not resemble the actual alien body. Is anyone out there not an idiot? - Eric, Detroit, USA"

(and a response to that comment: "It's called mould [sic]")

That's a brilliant example of humans' willingness to twist situations to fit preconceived notions -- the propensity to entertain thoughts of conspiracies. What is the evolutionary basis for this behavior, I wonder? What do we gain from the ability to construct elaborate explanations counter to simple explanations? Or is it a side effect of rational thought?
