encontré una posible solución al misterio...
el caso es el siguiente
en noviembre de 1989 la empresa AMOCO pago por un comercial a pagina completa en la revista "Aviation Week and Space Technology " la cual se titulaba "Technology
so advanced it will help you answer some big questions."(tecnología tan avanzada que le ayudara a responder algunas grandes preguntas). en la contra pag. se veía la foto del "alien". AMOCO dijo que la foto era de un modelo de 10 pulgadas de alto.
luego, un empleado de la nasa recibió una copia de la foto en su mail(no se si seria un e-mail o un correo normal ya que era el año 89, pero estamos hablando de la nasa)en la cual se decía que esa era una foto de un alien tomada por otro alien con una cámara prestada por la nasa.
salieron copias de la foto de alta calidad en las cuales se veían "humedad" en la orilla del ojo izquierdo y pelos en el cuello. mucha gente piensa que esta no es una foto de un modelo.
este es una traducción libre de una parte de lo escrito, echa por mi, JANUS599...acá les dejo la original en ingles
"AMOCO Advertisement and the Alien
In November of 1989 AMOCO placed a full-page advertisement in
Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine headlined "Technology
so advanced it will help you answer some big questions." On the
back was a full-page color photo of an alien head and shoulders
with his four-fingered hand raised in a gesture of friendship.
Spokespersons for AMOCO said this is a photo of a ten-inch model.
One NASA employee who received a copy of the photo in the mail said
he thinks it is a photo of an alien taken by another alien with a
camera provided by a NASA source. High quality copies show moisture
in the corner of the left eye and thin hairs on the neck. Many
people think this is not a photo of a ten-inch model. I asked the
lady on the advertised 800 number if this ad sold much of their
product. She said no, but they got a tremendous number of inquiries
about the alien picture. This ad was repeated in Aviation Week and
other aerospace magazines, some in even larger format. While I was
in the Air Force we knew this as "Aviation Leak" magazine; because,
much information, when declassified, reached the public through
its pages without being released at a press conference. This
insured responsible and accurate reporting.
