"Aliens" anmong us?

 

Everybody knows the typical bizarre image of an extraterrestrial humanoid: tiny body, big bold head, big eyes, small nose and small eyes, long fingers, pale color. This typical extraterrestrial humanoid’s description has a quiet long history. Nobody knows for sure when and where the first sightings in fact happen but it was definitely before the Roswell phenomenon. The oldest sightings are described already in early 19^th century and usually closed with a very terrestrial explaining. However the believers still doesn’t care and their amount is growing. The real UFO or humanoid’s sighting boom started in late 40’s and it was culminating around late 80’s. Different sighting around the world and besides it there is a science and real human lives.

The first sight of the exact tiny humanoid happened in USA in 50’s during unspecified circumstances. And some people claims also abductions by these aliens. 

We all know what fear of unknown, lack of knowledge and thirst of sensation can do together. People are not sure what they saw and as they are pushed to witness they make up something and start to believe it.

People have a fantasy but to create a face, humanoid the fantasy usually needs to tag something seen, remembered and packed and stored somewhere in the memory. So if somebody sees a strange shadow in a field, the fear of unknown can bring back the old memory picture, tag it and create the actual image – in this case of a humanoid. So what did people had seen?

There are existing very earthly (human) beings that fit to the description and could be a potential cause of the humanoid sightings.

Who are the humans with a tiny body, thin skin so that you almost can see through inside their bodies? Who are those with big heads, big eyes and small faces? The chance you meet them in a real life is as tiny as their bodies. They are people/children dealing with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome or HGPS.

HGPS is an extremely rare genetic disorder wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at a very early age.  It is caused by a mutation of a protein called prelamin A. It is a gene LMNA that encodes prelamin A. Prelamin A has a farnesyl group attached to its end. In a healthy individual farnesyl group is naturally removed and normal form of prelamin A is developed. In the individuals suffering of HGPS, for unknown reason, the farnesyl group remains attached to prelamin A and develop an abnormal prelamin A called progerin. This abnormally shaped protein causes all the defects and symptoms of HGPS:  limited growth, hair loss, cardiovascular problem, scleroderma, kidney failure etc.

These individuals are not mentally retarded contrariwise they are usually very smart and they mental skill exceed the healthy children. But it is not a big achievement for them since the HGPS is a terminal disease and these in no cure developed although the HGPS has been known and described since late 80’s of 19^th century. HGPS was first described in 1886 by Jonathan Hutchinson and it was also described independently in 1897 by Hastings Gilford. That’s why the disease (condition) was later named Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).

There are about 140 cases reported in a history and nowadays about 80 cases reported around the world. However the number can be bigger as in developing countries or countries in a state of totality the cases can be misdiagnosed or just not reported due to a political reason or illegal human testing.

As the cause of the HGPS is still unknown and there is still now cure, can we play with a theory that they are results of extraterrestrial abductions? Or could it be so that the HGPS children had been just mistaken for extraterrestrial humanoids and helped create the world phenomenon of the “Alians”? The answer is up to you.
