Alien in a Duck x-ray still a hit on IBRRC website

Three years ago this month a unusual image in a routine bird x-ray caused a major stir on the web that is still being felt today.

The x-ray of a injured duck showed what looked to be a facial image. After tremendous media attention, the original x-ray was auctioned off on eBay to help pay IBRRC's ongoing bird care. It was purchased by an online gaming concern: GoldenPalace.com buys eBay's extraterrestrial x-ray

"The alien x-ray is still one of IBRRC's most popular web pages," says Russ Curtis, the bird rescue's Technology Manager and Webmaster. "Our web reports show that in the last year alone the page had nearly 30,000 hits."

From the original web page:

The IBRRC staff discussed if an alien life form was either consumed by or trying to communicate with the people of Earth through the duck, because the center is located in an area of California known for its mysterious crop circles.

IBRRC staff noted that the symmetry of the alien's face is perfect, with an intense grimace, as if it was in anguish after being eaten.
