YouTube UFO and conspiracy theory channels have been airing the video that was reportedly filmed in 1992 in Eiger, Switzerland, and shows what appears to be a body with an alien-like over-sized head, large eyes, small, spindly arms, and torso – much like the stereotypical image of an alien.

One picture of the being shows the body propped up by what appears to be an electrical wire, with another showing a group of scientists seemingly examining the body.

The footage was posted this week by UFO channel UFO Today, which described it as an extra-terrestrial biological entity (EBE), amid claims it was filmed in a hurry” in “clandestine circumstances”.

The channel also claimed to have found the footage “on a server on the dark web” – part of the internet which contains details of many illegal and hidden activities, and is not indexed by search engines.
