Creepy looking ‘alien-like’ creature sparks internet frenzy

Images of a slimy and pink creature circulating online have set social media abuzz.

It is understood the creature was found in San Jose, California.

What the?… This is the “alien” creature that has sent the internet into overdrive.

“If the thing was an aborted animal then why did I hear a defining scream?” she wrote on Facebook.

The photo was first posted on Facebook and later was reposted on Reddit.

‘It was dead when I found it…

However later, users on social media claimed that the photo showed a miscarried deer foetus.

Stafford has not responded to an interview request from HuffPost, but at least a few people on his feed pointed out that the creature was most likely a fetus belonging to a calf.

Another more superstitious user added unhelpfully: “I don’t know what the f*** that is”.

“Hoofed animals can freak out and drop a fetus, amniotic sack and all, when scared”. “Sometimes when mother deer/cattle are in fight or flight situations they will evacuate their uterus to allow for a quicker escape”, one Reddit user wrote. Or maybe it was a still birth.

The photo was uploaded after a unusual light streak was seen over the California sky, which baffled the public and caused a few to predict that the light was an indication of a UFO.
