I would hope so. That is one horrible looking gaffe.
Sure, extraterrestrials fly across many light-years of distance, land on Earth, and… leave behind one of their dead comrades in the street. What was it, an interstellar British-style stag night? “Where’s Fred? Did we leave him back on Earth? I was so drunk… last thing I remember is when we taped him to a mouse…”
This is one of those stories that’s more convincing without the picture. (I mean, it’s not even a gaffe - it’s obviously some cheap plastic toy forgotten by a child. Being half-buried didn’t make it any more lifelike.)
I translate this story as a nothing to see here folks. Look at the pretty red light in my pen…flash.
One of the persons was a supposed expert in the matter tho, so, you know he meeds to have his viewpoint shared. Of course it was complete nonsense.
I made me pity chuckle.
“the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across - which happened to be the Earth - where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog”.

I’ve heard of little green men but that body was ridiculously small.
This is a small plastic toy, they used to, and probably still do, sell them embedded in jelly in a plastic egg, When they were really popular, probably 20 years back now, there was a spate of 'dead alien" stories based on people finding discarded ones and this looks exactly the same. We ran at least one report on them in Fortean Times
Sad ending for this guy:
