Some say it's the real deal, others insist it's a hoax

Late last month, a photo of an odd-looking creature supposedly found by villagers in the Indian state of Rajasthan surfaced online. The photo, available below, has since gone viral. 

It's been shared by thousands of mystery lovers and conspiracy theorists on Twitter, Facebook and whatever other social media sites are out there, many of whom are quite convinced it shows an alien humanoid.

The creature does look like it's from another world

Word has it that the bizarre creature was discovered by a group of villagers who were digging a new well, Mirror informs. So, it wasn't so much found as it was dug up.

The alleged alien humanoid, unearthed and photographed on July 25, seems to have four fingers and no thumbs. It is a weird purple color, its eyes black. Mind you, it even has legs and toes.

Supposing that the photo is real, it's no wonder people cannot help but question whether the creature is just a seriously creepy earthling or might, in fact, be an alien from deep space.

Of course, there are other possible explanations

Scientists have been searching for signs of alien life for decades now and have so far come up empty handed. So, naturally, it makes little sense for an alien to be dug up out of the blue in India.

Rather, voices say that the alleged alien humanoid is probably a fetus somebody wanted to get rid of and buried deep in the ground, hoping that it would never be found.

Then there's an even more reasonable explanation: the photo is nothing but a hoax. A good enough one to spark a heated debate, but a hoax nonetheless.

“How FAKE do ya wana [sic] get!!??” a skeptic very eloquently commented on it.

Truth be told, the supposed alien silhouette does seem out of place in this photo. Not to mention that, if real, the man probably would not have dared touch it, let alone hold it and pose with it.
