Read this little excerpt from the wires today and see if you come to the same conclusion that I did (i.e., that this little bird just dropped off the first evidence of an alien invasion of Earth).

Scientist: 'Finger' was neither human nor animal

Aug 7th, 2009 | BRIELLE, N.J. -- Authorities say a human finger wasn't dropped on a deck at the Jersey shore after all. A forensic anthropologist has determined the object, which resembled a decaying finger with an acrylic french-manicured nail, is neither human nor animal.

Brielle police were called July 30 after a homeowner made the discovery. Officials suspected it may have been dropped by a bird.

The Monmouth County medical examiner could not verify whether the object was a human finger.

State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones says a forensic anthropologist X-rayed it and determined it was made of an unidentified substance.
