Woman Finds 'Alien' Body In Her Garden - After UFO Flew Over

A woman in San Jose, California heard a strange scream in her back garden - then ran out to find what looked like an alien lying on the ground.

The strange encounter happened just hours after thousands of people saw a bright ‘UFO’ flying over the state.

Commenters on Facebook and Reddit have described the creature as an ‘alien’ - and as like the ‘facehugger’ in the Alien films.

Gianna Peponis said, ‘I heard something scream at like 11.30 last night and went on my side yard and found this thing. It was dead when I found it.

‘I wasn’t going to post this but I can’t stop wondering what this is.’

Some commenters on Facebook and Reddit have suggested that the creature could actually be the foetus of a deer, partly eaten by predators.

One said, 'It's half of a deer fetus which has been chewed on by scavengers/predators.

'For reference here is what an intact deer fetus looks like, imagine if you cut the back end and part of its nose off.'

Another said 'Hoofed animals can freak out and drop a fetus, amniotic sack and all, when scared. Or maybe it was a still birth. Either way, dinner is on mother nature tonight!'
