Photographs, which claim to show the remains of an alien found dead by US authorities at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, are being unveiled at a conference at the 10,000 seater National Auditorium in Mexico City, attended by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth astronaut to land on the moon.

The Roswell story, of the authorities keeping the discovery of the alien a secret from the public, has been long regarded an elaborate fake.

Pictures of an "alien autopsy" on the body released after the Roswell crash were later outed as an elaborate hoax.

Some UFO investigators claim today's release of new images will prove the truth of the myth.

They were allegedly photographed by geologist Bernard A. Ray on a Kodachrome film after he saw the body, but then stored the images in his attic for more than 50 years.

Anthony Bragalia, a UFO investigator, has been working to prove the authenticity of the incident for years.

He claims the "creature" pictured is not a being "that finds its origin on Earth".
