Indellkoffer, that’s what I call a fairly good analysis!!

Instead of one-liners just saying “….it’s a fake. Fake. Absolutely a
fake”!!

Well, the ship design is straight out of the bad B movies (really).
It’s designed by them ‘aliens’. So what does one know about designs of alien spaceships? Darn! It could even resemble a surrealist work by
Salvador Dali!
This crashed airplane isn’t a work of art either!
The ground detail (coarseness of terrain) looks just like the scale model sets of the 1950's. When you look at the "tree" it crashed into,
well, real desert trees (as those of us who lived in the desert can tell you) don't have leaves that big.
Not to me. The ground looks fine considering that the coarseness is due to the vintage camera. You didn’t have the luxury of the HP Photosmart M-22
digicam to click pics in that era!
Shadows are wrong. The "ship" casts a longer shadow than the "dead alien." And the "dead alien" has part of his body sort of submerged in
the ground.
Since the ship is longer, it will obviously cast a longer shadow!!

Regarding the body being ‘submerged’, I thought you mentioned that it was
a desert area. That means a li’l sand. And so the ‘submergence’?
The ship's sphere is about the same size as the body. So... where's the gigantic door that would let the alien in and out?
Could be a small porthole-like door on the other side!!
The tilt of the craft says that any dead bodies would be flung forward when it stopped. Don't see any openings there, and if you were injured
you wouldn't stagger through a heap of Really Prickly scrubbrush to go somewhere (the alien has died just beside a clump of bushes.
As I mentioned earlier, the body could have been retrieved from inside the saucer and placed on the ground by the ‘rescuers’.
Why haul the alien around when you could just photograph it? Or if you were hauling it around, why dump it there beside the artful tree? Why
not put it in the shade?
Now what difference is it gonna make whether a
dead alien is in the shade or under the sun? Who cares if the blighter gets a tan.?
And isn't it convenient that the first people to go on a merry hike in the middle of the desert at noon or close to it just HAPPENED to have
cameras? And if they were carrying/rescuing the alien they just HAPPENED to leave no tracks on the desert sandy floor? What are the odds?
One in a million maybe, but it’s an ‘odd’ anyway!!
