Before you watch the video or read on, answer me this: What the heck do YOU think this deceased critter might be?

A waterlogged possum? Seriously?

There is no way this creature comes from this planet.

This guy is too heckin' tiny. Ain't no way he could be THAT waterlogged.

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.
