well, not again. I think we made asses out of ourselves the first time and so precluded its reoccurrence.

>Even still, they said it has a brain to body ratio of 3 times that of homo sapien sapiens.

A proton-sized mass operating at Bremermann's limit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremermann's_limit performs 10^7 - 10^8 times more computations than the human brain does.

I really doubt that spacefaring superintelligences will appear as viridian homunculi riding aerial platters.

It would explain why their space ships always crash.

I lol'd.

"The guy in the film said that 6% of the 9% difference was junk and that the remaining 3% was relevant. It is probably a small monkey..."

They said, they don't know what the 6% is. They said it could be junk, but they also said it could be relevant DNA they just don't know how to decode.

Even still, they said it has a brain to body ratio of 3 times that of homo sapien sapiens. No monkey, (you probably mean ape) has that. Nowhere close to that.

It is just a small retarded monkey with a smashed head

Have to remember that description. May come in useful in debates. "You are just a small retarded monkey with a smashed head, you who dare disagree with me."

For the record, I'm on the side of those who say hoax on this one.

Also, keep in mind, there is no other earth based creature that looks so human, yet has a 9% DNA difference. Not even close.

The guy in the film said that 6% of the 9% difference was junk and that the remaining 3% was relevant. It is probably a small monkey...

But, if it is, it is really strange and the first of its kind to be discovered and DNA sequenced.

yeah, there have been billions of life forms on the Earth that have gone extinct that we don't have records of.

I'm all about Scully and Mulder (I want to believe; the truth is out there), but I wouldn't let some self promoting bodybuilding douche "prove" it by associating an anomaly as an alien. If it was an alien are we to believe that the craft vanished? It is just a small retarded monkey with a smashed head until oceans of geneticists say otherwise.

"they can't rule out all of the unknown earth-based species. And you can't easily rule out that the whole thing is a very elaborate, well-done hoax."

Yes, you can rule out that it is a hoax. At least the doctors and geneticists involved have ruled that out.

It could be some weird earth based creature, noone is saying it is not that. But, if it is, it is really strange and the first of its kind to be discovered and DNA sequenced.

Also, keep in mind, there is no other earth based creature that looks so human, yet has a 9% DNA difference. Not even close.

Chimps kind of look human, but have a 3% DNA difference. Neanderthals look human, but have less than 1% DNA difference.

It's a giant leap from a "tiny, unknown creature with similar DNA to human" to "spacefaring or dimensional-traveling alien".

The documentary is a self-promotion for Dr. Greer.

The creature is an oddity. The data provided are limited. They could perform years of study just trying to rule out what it isn't. And just because they rule out all of the known earth-based species, they can't rule out all of the unknown earth-based species. And you can't easily rule out that the whole thing is a very elaborate, well-done hoax.

"Telling how the guys who believe in aliens are the ones who believe in ... won't say the word."

Say what you will, but these guys have evidence on their side. They have a body that has been x-rayed, cat scanned, and had DNA extracted. It has bones, millimeter wide tubes in the bones (arteries), it has organs. It has real DNA.

You want proof, they provided it.
