Russia - Not Saying It's Aliens...

[LongBlade]

RUSSIAN scientists are said to be baffled by the discovery of a small "alien creature" on the banks of a river near a major nuclear power plant.

Local news reports said the corpse with a "mysterious skull" was found by two residents next to the River Kovashi, on Sunday, in the Russian town of Sosnovy Bor, a town built in 1958 to serve the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant.

Looks like he mated with some half-fish, half-pony chimera.

Is anyone truly mystified, here? Probably a nuclear rabbit or something, pfft.

Clearly Putin has designs on Mars.

Putin's £3.5billion race to make it to space: First pictures inside huge Siberian cosmodrome from where Russia hopes to beat the US to Mars

- Putin's pet project set to rival Cape Canaveral in fame - and help Russia win the 21st century space race
- Built across 342 square miles, the cosmodrome will have 17 launch pads and a new 'satellite city' for 25,000 people
- Russian president has said he wants it to 'confirm the high scientific and technological status' of the country
- But building works are beset by problems - and the first unmanned launch, planned for December, looks in doubt
- Should it not be ready in time, it will be a huge embarrassment for Putin and his £3.4billion investment in the project

But, it's well behind schedule (go figure) and has had plenty of problems. More info and pics (as well as a video) at the link.

Delay: The project is now so far behind, some estimate 35,000 more workers are needed to get it back on schedule
