AN EXPLORER has made an out of this world discovery after finding a mysterious “baby alien” skeleton deep inside a dark and dirty cave.
Edu Survivencia made the fascinating find but has kept it in a box ever since after claiming "it isn't human" and is far too terrifying to touch.
Edu went to explore the protected area of Cerro de las Mitras just outside Monterrey, Mexico when he stumbled upon an eerie network of caves.
When Edu went deep inside the hollow spaces he came across one particularly chilling discovery - a so-called mummified baby alien.
He said: “I was well hidden. In the cave, it was dark and very dirty and I didn’t think about it too much in that moment.

“I now keep it in a box and I don’t dare touch it without gloves.”
Edu shared creepy images on his Facebook of the alien in his hand the first time he saw it.
Fitting easily in the palm of his hand, the bizarre object is the spitting image of the traditional ideas of what an alien might look like.
A large dome-shaped head with big beady eyes and a small mouth.
Paired with the typical skinny body, scaly back and long arms and legs - just like a real-life alien.
The post gained a heap of attention online with thousands arguing over what the object could be if it wasn't an actual alien baby.
Among the 2,000 comments under Edu's post some described it as a "goblin" whereas others called it a mummified human foetus that dates back to prehispanic times.
One even went for a simple: “It’s a baby alien.”
As a second felt the same way comically writing: “They are among us.”
Others went for a more reasonable guess with one saying: “Looks like a little bird.”

“Take it for an X-ray with trustworthy people who would treat the issue appropriately," said a fourth.
But the pictures also seriously freaked out some people with one commenting: “I don’t want to look at it anymore, it makes me scared. I would never have touched it, how brave you are!”
Edu has since returned to the cave to “keep looking for evidence” as he continues on his quest to uncover the truth behind his new boxed-up pal.
Similar chilling discoveries were found last year when two so-called alien corpses were put on public display in Mexico City - exciting conspiracy theorists worldwide.
The small "non-human" bodies were presented in windowed boxes at a congressional hearing on UFOs after being found in Cusco, Peru.
Known as the Nazca mummies, they are believed to be over 1,000 years old - and contain rare metals.
As back in 2003, a tiny corpse, dubbed Ata, was also found by Oscar Muñoz in an abandoned church.
Researchers believe the skeleton came from a small race of people who used to co-exist with the Aymara people in South America.
