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.
It is said that the locals, who spotted it by chance, initially believed it could be a mutant chicken embroyo that had been discarded.
However, local experts have been so far unable to say what it is.
