Does anyone know where the "alien body" in this screenshot is from?

[Starflint]

I found this in a video on a shape conspiracy theory channel on a Chinese website, and I think it's 99% fake, It looks like a movie set.. but I couldn't find any information about it using Google Sense, so there's no way to fully debunk it. I'm here to ask for help if anyone knows where it came from.

Link to original video：

The video claims that the event took place in early 2024 (but the resolution of the video footage is poor and I think it's from much further back) in some jungle in South America, with alien bodies recovered by some mercenaries. But the channel's usual tactic is to make things up, so all this information is largely useless as well.

I took some screenshots of military personnel from the extremely brief video and again couldn't search for much info.

(I think the alien might not be fully ripe, or a slightly different variety.)

Or it may just be AI-generated.

I am working from the pictures you posted, my video playback is mad this morning...

Judging by the tip of a boot in the upper right, the stretcher that the "alien" is laying on seems pretty small (narrow, at least, can't see how long it is.) It would not be useful for carrying a human, and so is possibly purpose-built to carry that "alien." To me, that suggest that it is a prop.

I also note that the poor injured or dead or captured alien is tied to the stretcher with a piece of caution tape. Something like this:

That does not seem like the way you'd secure a patient or a body to a stretcher, which suggest that it is a temporary expedient to keep the prop alien on the prop stretcher.

If the video shows this is all wrong, then disregard...

the video is basically that picture, plus some bad acting

Do we have any language experts who can translate the text on screen?

well, @Starflint obviously, but I doubt the text is helpful. We already know it's from a UFO channel and supposed to be in South America.

well, @Starflint obviously

I'll hold off then, but if need be I can ask some kite friends over there.

And every human face masked.. or covered with makeup and prosthesis.
Does everyone on the planet now walk around masked? Or just those who think a UFO is nearby?
And the eternal question: what shape are those eyeballs supposed to be? They can't be round, there isn't enough skull to contain them. An interesting question would be if the exagerated shape has remained constant through UFO time, or they are getting more exagerated over time?

After some consideration, I'm afraid to say this might be a hoax.

The video draws attention to national identifiers on the men's "uniforms",

which the commentator seems to identify as French and Peruvian.
While it depends on the colour balance, the blue of the "French" flag looks too light.

Re-watching the video, it's hard to see the first (leftmost) red stripe of the supposed Peruvian flag indicated, it could be another French flag (or Italian I suppose).


In recent years, French troops' national identifiers on uniforms "in the field" have usually been shield-shaped:

The "French" soldiers in the video are not wearing French camouflage or webbing; the picture above shows a French soldier wearing the recent (2024) BME pattern, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bariolage_multi-environnement, which is similar to (but has different tones to) US Crye multicam or British MTP.
For most of the preceding 30 years, French uniforms have been of the distinctive Camouflage Central-Europe pattern, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camouflage_Central-Europe. Said to be inspired by the US 1980s woodland camo, it has larger swathes of continuous colour.

I put "uniforms" in inverted commas above because none of the "soldiers" in the video are wearing the same thing.
There are reasons why soldiers of the same unit might wear different kit, but I can't think of anything that explains the diversity in this video. The clothing and webbing all appear clean and undamaged; no-one's wearing cam-cream; the men are not behaving like soldiers actively guarding a find of extraordinary importance.

And why are they hiding their faces? Their superiors would know who was involved in capturing an alien. Presumably this is meant to be "trophy" footage, not for public viewing- so why the masks?

And WTF is this?

Regimental storeman: "You sure you want to take this?"
Soldier: "Absolutely. In my years in Special Forces, I've found the enemy is terrified by headgear looking like a cross between a kiddies' Iron Man costume and a Mexican wrestler's hood. Having a high-contrast aiming point over my parietal lobe is a great way of flaunting my confidence. And if your missus has an old pair of tights, I'd like to wear them over my head."

Soldiers expecting to retrieve casualties might well have bodybags. In addition, the French army would have supplies of NBC casualty evacuation bags, made of cloth lined with activated charcoal: This might seem a sensible precaution in retrieving an extraterrestrial creature (the bags help limit further exposure of a casualty to an NBC environment, but they also serve to protect aiders from whatever contamination the casualty has picked up).

The "soldiers" in the video might be airsoft enthusiasts, or perhaps students doing some film project. Or just some young men deliberately manufacturing a hoax, who bought their "uniforms" from different sources.

The OP video continues with this creature.

I have as much confidence in Captain Chimpanzee Lizardman being real as I have in the Franco-Peruvian Funny Hats Brigade.

The video site should be able to set up subtitle translations, also like I said the letters in the video are nonsense and useless, the only thing that is useful is that the OP said it might be in South America

 

[Starflint]

The video claims that the event took place in early 2024

Finding a little clue, the video was already being spoofed in late 2023 with the claim that it was the FBI that captured the aliens. , so this video is perhaps even earlier:

Trying to search for "los militares capturaron a un extraterrestre" in Spanish, I found this post again, but still can't trace it back:

I also think they look a lot like the Paintball Squad.

looks very much like a human with camo-painted head lying down with hands tied behind his back to me, so in that sense I'm fairly confident it's real

Very possibly. I'd expect heavier-duty eye goggles (though they may have taken them off while they are not shooting but are posing with the "trophy alien.") And I'm not seeing any paint on them -- but maybe they are THAT GOOD! Or this is before the game starts.

I found this post again,

the write up is interesting though because i could swear i saw this before on mb. unfortunately the search function doesnt work all that well for many threads.

Article:

Some time ago a photo of an alien being transferred on a stretcher was leaked and now something similar comes out.

Usually posts like these are just jokes and not meant to simultaneously be the explanation, but in this case, I truly think we're looking at a doctored watermelon.

No, I think it is lying in a bit of molded plastic packing material from some object or other. It's not impossible that the shape of the container inspired the whole thing.

Maybe water pistols are more accurate because they're made more realistic, or maybe it's a prank by some armed drug lords in South America, which is also a possibility LOL

Here's a story about a black thief who was caught, and apparently the combination of his face being covered in light-colored dust and the poor lighting at night made him look a lot like a lizard man（So what do lizard people really look like?）：

Going off-topic, Brian Eno was recently a guest on the BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage, a light-hearted science discussion show hosted by Professor Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince.
Series 32, "The Sound of Music", released on 19 Feb 2025.

BBC Sounds is an online site of BBC audio material (i.e. usually originally made for radio).
From "Spring 2025" the BBC intends to make access from outside the UK more difficult, so apologies to anyone who can't readily access the link.

Like its TV equivalent (BBC iPlayer) there's lots of really good material on BBC Sounds, but its search function, and the way some material is categorised, is astonishingly bad.
