![‘Dead Alien’ found in Russia [Video]](https://img-cdn.tnwcdn.com/image?fit=1280%2C720&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.tnwcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fblogs.dir%2F1%2Ffiles%2F2010%2F08%2Falien1.jpg&signature=832d5bd588101e5750e07397309553c6)
Here’s a great example here of how Web video has transformed folklore.
This video of a supposed ‘Dead alien’ found in Russia is currently doing the rounds on YouTube. The story goes that a UFO crash was sighted in the Irkutsk region of Siberia a month ago and that the ‘corpse’ in this video was subsequently found in the snow.
Is it real? Well – that’s unlikely, but as Mulder’s poster in The X-Files used to say, “I want to believe”.
