Okay, a few of the things here are kind of weird or interesting but generally this site is a powerful testament to the imagination of human beings when it comes to looking at rocks.

ALIEN ARTIFACTS MUSEUM

I see a large collection of badly-compressed images ... of ... rocks. Perhaps my mind is just hopelessly mundane.* There's also some imaginative grammar happening there, which I am evidently incapable of fully appreciating ... I wonder if the creator of this site is responsible for the UFO flyers pasted around town a couple months ago.

*It also happens that I like rocks.

Yay! Someone else who likes rocks!

(Not stalking, just finally commenting after having admired your art for a while. I'm also a geologist, which makes that website absolutely hilarious. Imaginative doesn't even begin to cover some of those descriptions - possibly hallucinogen-induced.)

Hey, rocks are awesome, man. It's cool to meet someone who actually works with them for a living!

I think my favourite part of the site is the 'glowing' alien armour ... it looks a lot like the iridescent sheen on an (I'm guessing) igneous rock I'd picked up from an embankment they'd used to control the overflowing Great Salt Lake back in the 80s. The fill they used looks nothing like any of the native rocks – they must have dug up an alien battlefield!

My grandpa is an amateur rock-hunter. I'd love to hear what he'd have to say about it.

This (these) human(s) has (have) the same right to procreate as you or I.

Discuss.

Okay, this person cannot be serious. Those are clearly perfectly normal terrestrial rocks, not "petrified alien body parts" or whatever. Is it possible that this site is just a joke? I certainly hope so, because even I didn't think human beings could get that deluded.

I also might take him/her a little more seriously if they could use proper grammar.

I also wonder if this person knows that some perfectly normal terrestrial rocks fluoresce under a UV light.

I think the best part is that they date everything to 300 million years ago. I'd like to see their proof. I also laugh at their grammar, and how they clearly didn't try to find any explanation for those rocks other than aliens. Seeing is believing and believing is seeing.

Didn't you know? 300 million is the sacred number of the aliens because they evolved 300 million [CENSORED] before the dinosaurs were even around. Also, they left 300 million of thier offspring on earth to survive and reproduce with the dinosaurs and humans. I believe that some of the aliens descendants are still among us today and that the UFOs are them trying to get back to their family on other worlds.

...

Don't you feel enlightened?

I like how every other word is [CENSORED]. Is that "alien" for "I couldn't invent any good techno-babble for this"?

Those are... well, they're rocks. Rocks of definitely terrestrial origin. Some of them have interesting flaws in them or whatever it's called when there's a bend in the layers of rock, but nonetheless... Rock. Couple of 'em looked like sandstone.

That's hilarious.

"IMAGE 5: Alien artifact a bullet pointed metal cylinder solid slug projectile millions of years old from a extraterrestrial alien weapon? The jacket looks to me like copper but its probably some unknown alien metal to have that glow."

Yes, it looks remarkably like copper, but logically it's far more likely to be some alien substance!

I think my favorite is the "UFO technology rare metal"..."The odd metallic alloy is [CENSORED], light weight, and heat resistance." Clearly it's NOT just a bit of tinfoil wrapped around a rectangle of cardboard.

I would go so far as to say it might be loosely-wrapped silver lamé (or however it's spelled) ... and I don't know how that fabric is made, so it must be alien technology!

Kind of looks like a crinkled-up Pop Tart wrapper to me.

That's pretty funny.

The company I used to work for actually did DNA tests for this alleged alien skull (http://www.starchildproject.com/) (warning: photos of creepy deformed skull)

It had human DNA. So Mr. Pye decided it must be an alien-human hybrid.

Okay, the "bullet"-in-quartz thing is cool to look at, but... ROCKS! COME ON! THEY'RE ROCKS!

Image #13: Swanson's Hungry Man TV dinner . . . I'm guessing Meat Loaf. Tastes like it was make 450 million years ago.
