What is called a “photograph of an alien” has attracted a large number of Internet users at home and abroad.

What is called a “photograph of an alien” has attracted a large number of Internet users at home and abroad.

This is because the “monster” seems to pose for the camera with its head similar to those of an octopus or a long-legged octopus and its human-like body, the Pop News reported Friday.

The creature resembles the “Cthulhu monster” which frequently appears in sci-fi cartoons and films. Internet users are differing over what it resembles?

Some say that it resembles a medical doctor starring in a popular cartoon “Futurama,” a view from the year of 3000, while some others insist that it is a half beast man starring in the film “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

It remains to be seen whether the creature is an alien or a simple product by the Photoshop, the report said.




'외계인 증명 사진' 인터넷 떠들썩

'외계인 증명 사진'이라고 불리는 사진을 놓고 국내외 인터넷이 뜨겁다.

이는 문어 혹은 낙지를 닮은 머리에 사람의 몸집을 한 '괴물'이 마치 증명 사진을 촬영하듯 자세를 취했기 때문이라고 팝뉴스가 31일 전했다.

SF 만화, 영화 등에 자주 나온 '크룰루 괴물'을 닮기도 한 사진 속의 괴물을 본 해외 네티즌들은 각기 다양한 의견을 내놓고 있다.

서기 3000년을 배경으로 한 인기 만화 '퓨쳐라마'에 나오는 미래 의사 캐릭터를 닮았다고 말하는 네티즌들도 있고, 영화 '캐리비안의 해적'에 등장하는 반인반수 괴물이라는 주장을 펼치는 이들도 존재한다고.

실제로 존재했던 외계인의 모습인지, 낡은 흑백 사진 효과를 이용한 단순한 포샵 사진인지 여부는 불분명하다고 이 보도는 전했다.
