In a Guatemalan village, residents spotted strange bright lights hovering in the sky.

That same night (on the last days of August 2011), a piglet was born, different from a litter of 11.

Smaller than the others and with a “human-like” head.

Farmer Laureano Escobar Arias said: ‘I was shocked – it was a really terrifying experience. It looked like some kind of alien creature.’

However, local health officials have suggested that there are more earthly reasons for the pig’s appearance.

‘We don’t know for certain but it could have been caused by a genetic problem or by environmental pollution,’ one commented.

A bit closer to home, pathologists are investigating a series of animal mutilations in Wales, with aliens once again the suspected culprits.

It is thought that the surgical-style injuries are too sophisticated for other animals to cause and once again bright lights were seen near the scene.

If in doubt....blame aliens

[candymosh]

Congenital problem for sure, genetical problem impossible to estabilish unless in Guatemala they hold some purebreed records for swines. Environmental pollution could be an option IF more than the average cases were recorded in the same area. Aliens.... tsk, tsk! I guess they'd have something better to do than messing up with piglets, after travelling for god knows how many light-years.
One of the reasons why many cases of deformities in piglets, sheeps and so on are still unexplained, is that scientists rather to investigate on human deformities: it's much worse when it happens the opposite, for example

A similar case occurred in China, there are similarities, at first glance


Grab your beer, fire up the BBQ, and voila: case closed!

Alright boys which on of you had sex with that pig???

Yea I've seen this deformity before. Only with pigs though. Everyone knows aliens only fuck with cows. And they prefer anal, hence the probes.

[shoottokill]

obviously the work of some aliens, who targeted the piglet for experimental purposes. wait 10 years, and hey the piglet will be destroying manhattan with its superior firepower, and flexing its human like brain.

The Human vs Pig albumen genes are 83% identical (Identities = 1739/2091, Gaps = 80/2091 (3%)).
The Human vs Chimp albumen genes are 99% identical (Identities = 2119/2136, Gaps = 0/2136 (0%)).
The Chimp vs Pig albumen genes are 82% identical (Identities = 1668/2017, Gaps = 84/2017 (4%)).
The Human VS The Human albumen genes are 99.9% identical.

Don't we use pig heart valves for humans? and from memory insulin too?
