On August 14, 2003, I received a photograph that purportedly shows an alien being. This is what the sender stated:
The included picture was taken by my grandfather in the early 1930s in Alaska. I scanned the image immediately after he gave it to me last week. I wish to remain anonymous since I don't want anything to do with any research or whatever on this.
I know it looks like an alien or a Bigfoot and I know my grandfather was telling me the truth about him taking this picture. That's why I think it should be in the right hands. You are the only one I'm sending this to, so please respect my privacy and don't contact me about this.
Thanks in advance,
Yours,
(Name withheld)
The only additional information is contained on the bottom of the full size image, which tells us the following:
The picture was taken in the early 1930s by the sender's grandfather, who lived in Alaska. The entitiy was first seen when the grandfather was on his way to a lake. He chased the entity until he got close enough to take this one picture. It was some four months before the photograph was developed, being in a remote, sparsely populated area.
To say the least, I was intrigued by this mysterious message. What could this image be? I download it, and after looking at it a few moments, I knew it would be controversial to say the least. Little did I know that there would be more than one mystery to solve. As I began the task of selecting and cutting the area around the small creature, I thought to myself: "Wouldn't it be something if this was the real thing, even though it may never be proven as such?" What if this gentleman's grandfather had really filmed a creature from another world, and I was looking at the proof. My excitement was only tempered by the thought of not being able to prove it one way or the other. I would soon be faced, however, with the second mystery.
After doing a couple of trial runs, I was relatively pleased with the results, considering the fact that the scanned image was from a photograph approximately 70 years old. As I looked through several of the cutouts I had made, I thought maybe I saw something... something else. The entity's right lower arm/hand region seemed to be obscured; but by what? So I went back to the original scan, and starting working on that particular area. What I finally saw, or thought I saw was a second, even smaller entity. Is it possible that we had a female with her child? I had done what I could, and the results were inconclusive.
The sender never asked for a thing... money or publishing rights, just that the photo be put in good hands
I have no definite answer as to what we are looking at here. It is one of three things:
1) An outright hoax, (someone in a suit), and all the time and effort was wasted.
2) A single unknown being, origin unknown, and we are without a way to go any further toward discovery.
3) Number 2, with two beings. All is not lost, and just like beauty being in the eye of the beholder, so is the result of what we have here.
One final question remains; Which is more important anyway, the final solution of a mystery, or that mystery remaining alive and well?
If any of you would like the full size image of this photo, please let me know.

I had to read this early because my work schedule has changed. I would like to have the full size image of this. As you say, there is no way to know for sure whether the photo is real or a hoax. But just going on feeling or intuition (not much, I know), there is something that feels authentic about this photo. I am sure there will be a range of responses to this one.
Almost forgot – I wanted to post this one, more for fun (I think) Bush and the Subprime Alien

Can the location of this photo be specified? I personally saw a saucer
crash in Alaska in the 1940’s and would
like to know the area where this phono
was taken.

Thnx
Please send me the full size photo as I would like to see it.
please send me a full sized image as well. thanks!
Would you please send me the full size version of this photo as well. Somehow it reminds me of another pic. Thanks.
I’d love to see the full-size photo please. This is interesting. Great blog, by the way, I don’t leave a lot of comments, but I read it almost every day.
I think it’s fake because of the way the person acted when sending it, “don’t contact me, leave me alone, but here’s an alien picture for ya”
please send me a full sized image as well. thanks!
Honestly, it looks like Casper, the friendly ghost. Who knows? Maybe that’s where the idea for Casper came from (just kidding!). I don’t have a clue one way or another as to what it is.
Yes, could you please send me a full size photo. It would be greatly appreciated. On CNN News today 11-12-2007 they said representatives from several countries (and the usa) were going to meet and discuss the UFO’s. Have you heard anything about this?
Hi Billy, interesting indeed, I feel it’s the real thing. I have the same feeling about the photo, just a feeling you get. I’d love to have a the full sized image too, thanks Billy!

I came across this site because i was typing in different things about the Alaskan triangle. Had never heard of it till yesterday from a friend. But this is a great article you have and would love to see the full size photo. Very intriguing. Thanks.
God created all living beings so why not why not others different than us would be called “Alien”. I would like to meet one of these beings. Just think how many might be out there in all the galaxies that God created. What an adventure and what a creator.
i would love to have the full image of this picture i am very intrested in this
