A Russian woman has claimed she has had an extra-terrestrial creature in her fridge for the past two years.
Marta Yegorovnam told investigators she found the alien at a crash site after hearing a loud bang outside her home in Petrozavodsk, western Russia, The Sun reported.
She found a flaming wreckage and crumpled metal and the ‘alien’ nearby. It was wearing a spacesuit when she first saw it. She said she has managed to keep the creature perfectly preserved by wrapping it in plastic and putting it in her freezer.
People who have seen pictures of the alien have likened it to one from the ‘Star Wars’ films.
Others say it is a ‘rotting vegetable’ that looks like something from another world.
The Karelian Academy of Science in Petrozavodsk is now investigating the story.
"This could be an elaborate hoax. However the possibility that this might be a genuine alien should not be discounted. Russia is a hotbed of UFO activity and possible alien craft has been tracked by both military and civilian agencies," said UFO expert Michael Cohen.
