Chinese microblogs are abuzz today after pictures appeared on Sina Weibo, of a Chinese man claiming to have found an alien. That's right, one Chinese man claims to have found an alien!

First pointed to us by our good friends at the Shanghaiist, the extraterrestrial was discovered by a Mr. Li in Binzhou Shangdong province. Li said he came across the body of the alien in late March after following a bunch of "UFO's" along the Yellow River. Li say's he was following five floating lights in the sky when he came across the electrocuted body of the alien.

Supposedly the Alien was electrocuted by a rabbit trap that Li had previously set up...

After coming across the body, Li took the body and transported it to his home where he then interred it into his freezer.

Unfortunately for true believers, the police quickly tried to quell the interest by posting a quick blurb asserting that the alien was nothing more than rubber.

"The alien purported electrocuted and discovered by a man in Binzhou is a high quality imitation," the Jinan Police posted on their Sina microblog. "The body is made up of high quality rubber."

Unfazed by the possibility the alien being fake, Chinese netizens are busy trying to connect the Shandong alien to a purported UFO siting in Hubei province. Sadly police are also trying to put this rumor down.

Honestly I don't think it gets faker than that XD

The government has blocked my access to that webpage! It must be real!!!

**kronk**

Why does it have a red condom wrapper in its hand?

**Grey Templar**

Whats more disturbing is the alien appears female...

"The alien purported electrocuted and discovered by a man in Binzhou is a high quality imitation,"

Sorry, but I'd say 90% of proven Bigfoot hoaxes are of higher quality.

**timetowaste85**

That....looks awful. Maybe try next time? Lol

**Frazzled**

Access is blocked! THE NSA has already gotten to it! The Truth is out there!

**kronk**

Here's a picture of the dead alien for the work blocked.

I'm guessing it was looking to do some probing

**hotsauceman1**

We must get Mulder here asap

**TheCustomLime**

Why are aliens always naked? And unarmed? And fall for really lame traps? Clearly they pooled all their research time and money into FTL capabilities.

I wish this was real, though, to be honest with you guys.

**Super Ready**

Anyone else thinking it was made of some weird mix of fish batter, squid flesh and pure nightmares?

**Grey Templar**

That might be a little more convincing than this rubber mess.

Seriously, if you're going to create a hoax, at least put some effort into it.

**rubiksnoob**

Looks only marginally less appetizing than the sloppy joe donut.

**PrehistoricUFO**

It's gotta be true, because nothing fake has ever come out of China.

**d-usa**

Although it is fitting that it appears to be a recast...

I think that's a box of cigs. For scale?

Wow, that must be "high quality" for Chinese fake aliens...

**killykavekommando**

It looks like a soggy, wrinkled foot, not a space-faring enlightened being.

**Squidmanlolz**

I for one welcome our soggy overlords

**master of ordinance**

Not what i was expecting. Mulder and Scully anyone?

**KalashnikovMarine**

In other news insiders in the Chinese government report that the alien has been branded a capitalist infiltrator and that it's corpse and Mr. Li are now in the custody of the Chinese internal police.

... well that will teach him! No doubt he will get an unreasonably long sentence..

The flip side of that though, on a separate note - wouldn't it have been great if that guy who sold the fake bomb detectors had been tried in China?

Or sent to Iraq, given a stick, and then told to clear a road of bombs manually.

Considering the really broad aspect of Chinese cuisine I'd proffer real alien would be stir fry really quickly.

hey at least thats not as bad as Taco Bell who's motto is "Now With More Cat!"

**JWhex**

Chinese recasters have really dropped their quality lately.

I read a great story about that one time about some aliens that had developed little better than 1600's weaponry, but had FTL ships which they used to invade 1980's Earth. The story ended on an "oh, gak!" note for the aliens after their initial attack into the middle of, I believe, New York City. End result, Aliens put in a zoo and Earthlings in control of their ships and tech, complete with coordinates for the alien planet
