Duck Eats Alien

(Cordelia, California) Looking closely, one can see the alien peeking from the duck. It's an alien-peeking duck.

From MercuryNews.com:

An X-ray of the stomach of a wounded duck that died at the International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia contains the uncanny image of an alien's face.

So, obviously the duck ate an alien. Right? Well, part of an alien anyway. In fact, it looks like the duck just bit off the alien's head and swallowed it whole. And then the duck "died quickly, quietly and peacefully after the X-rays were taken." My question? Where's the rest of the alien?

Interestingly, the staff noted that the International Bird Rescue Research Center is located near an area where crop circles have been found and wondered if the alien came to communicate with the people on Earth before being eaten by the duck. It was also noted that the alien was possibly a juvenile and it "has an intense grimace as if it were in anguish after being eaten."

Demonstrating true entrepreneurial spirit, the research center plans on auctioning the image on eBay. Bidding begins at 3pm on Sunday. As I recall, the Madonna on a grilled cheese sandwich sold for over $20,000 so I'm sure that the alien-in-a-duck image will get some bids. I don't expect the bidding to be as high, though. With the Madonna, the winner got a sandwich. The alien image is for sale without the duck.
