Decade ago a human skeleton, measuring 15cm, was found by a Chilean man named Oscar Munoz, near an old church in the ghost town of LiaNoria, located in the Atacama Desert. The skeleton appears to be that of a human, except for the fact that it is 6 inches long.
Munoz sold it to a pub owner for 51 USD. Later it was sold to its rightful owner, a Spanish businessman. Scientists conducted many experiments on the 15cm structure and declared it to be a human skeleton. The skeleton was named Ata, short for Atacama Desert from where it was found.
Most of the theories suggest that it is a premature human fetus, too small for its survival, but scientists have still not figured out the whole mystery surrounding Ata.
Others suggest that the skeleton is the remains of an alien, although the human DNA suggests otherwise.
