I’m trying really hard to keep a straight face while writing this post.

The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) claim to have photographed an Extraterrestrial being while in Joshua Tree California for a “CSETI Contact Event”. The team claim that what they are presenting to the public, could very well be the “First Ever Photograph of an Extraterrestrial”.

I’ve camped at Joshua Tree myself. I can tell you that Joshua Tree is not a secluded place. It’s full of other campers, hikers, ATVs and lights from the nearby roads. Not to mention boring. I learned my lesson to never go camping in the desert. There is only so much you can occupy your time with.

Take a look at the photograph above. It’s supposed to show some alien being in the right corner.

Can’t see it? Let me zoom in:

Still no? Let’s look at the cutout of the “alien”. OK how about now?

Wait, is that laughter I hear coming from you? I don’t blame you. Here is what CSETI has to say about this photograph:

Full source: CSETI

You will note that the ET is suspended in a cone of light which is originating from a small orb to the left of the bush. This is precisely the orb that we had seen that followed us up the path, and is in the location where the ET voices were heard just before the photo was taken.

The ET appears to be a male, wearing a type of vision augmenting goggles, with a very large head with an indented area demarked by ridges in the forehead. The hairline, ears, eyes, mouth and chin are clearly visible. Both arms can be discerned, as well as a torso and both legs, with boots on the feet. He is hovering a foot or two above the chairs that make up our contact circle, and is just east-southeast of the circle. His size is estimated at 3-5 feet in height. Note that he is leaning forward, with his torso and head twisted to look directly at the camera. His right leg is bent behind him.

This photograph offers extraordinary evidence of interstellar, transdimensional technology, and the efficacy of CSETI contact protocols.

So if this photo shows the “efficacy of CSETI contact protocols” then I think we should consider either pulling the plug on CSETI or revisiting their contact protocols.

I need a drink.
