This is a further excerpt from Whitley Strieber's book "Majestic", a
?fictional? novel.

INTIAL FINDINGS UPON EXAMINATION 
AND AUTOPSY OF THE BODY OF AN 
APPARENTLY ALIEN CREATURE


   1. External appearence

This body was observed to be in a state of profound deterioration.  It had not
been preserved but was delivered in a container of 
rubberized canvas, to which some of the tissue had adhered.  The cadaver was 36
inches long with a weight of 8 pounds.  The 
external appearence of this cadaver was not of a human type.
The skin appeared smooth and a dark bluish-gray in color.  There was no
clothing on the body.  There were no genitals and no 
way of determining sex, if any.  The nose consisted of two slits, the mouth was
a small opening that did not appear to be 
supported by an articulated jaw, and there were holes in the position of ears.
The cranium was round and large in proportion to 
the body and the eyes were almond-shaped.  The eyes were closed and could not
be opened without damaging structures, due 
to the condition of decaying tissue.
Arms and wrists were very thin.  The hands displayed a three-digit arrangement
without thumb.  The arms extended to 
approximately three inches above the knee.  The three fingers extended directly
from the wrist, with no palm.

   2.  Dissection

The body was opened from crotch to chin.  A green liquid emerged from the
incision.  The skin was not backed by fascia, and 
the bone structure appeared to be a cartiliaginous substance of light
green-blue color.  Internal organs were observed but their 
function was unclear.  The thoracic and peritoneal cavities communicated and
there appeared to be no respiratory system and 
no stomach.  The esophagus was vestigial and dissipated before reaching another
organ.  There appeared to be two 
multi-chambered hearts and it was surmised that body fluid could be pumped
rapidly.  There was an extensive circulatory system 
that involved three types of vein.  Some material was extracted from one of
these systems and suggested possible waste, 
leading to the notion that waste may have been exuded through the skin.   The
fluid removed from the body was analyzed under 
the microscope and found to be a vegetable substance, chlorophyll-based.  It is
possible that photosynthesis was the means of 
obtaining energy.
The cranium was dissected and it was observed that a ridge of cartilage
seperated the brain into two completely isolated 
components.  The brain was severely deteriorated, but appeared to be
extensively fissured and divided into numerous lobes.  
Because of the deterioration the degree of bilateralism of the two halves could
not be determined with any accuracy.
This cadaver exuded an unusually foul odor.

   3.  Conclusion

This is not a cadaver of a kind previously observed by or known to this
pathologist.  It appears to be a form of creature utilizing 
elements of both the animal and the vegetable.

   And there it is, for what it's worth, if anything it's good food for thought
on the possibilities of what life out there might be like, 
internally as well as externally.  Is there anyone out there who could
elaborate on this?  Does anyone know of any similar reports 
out there, or whether this is the kind of report that would be filled out in a
standard autopsy?  And where did Whitley get these 
documents; if they are indeed "real"  Any input appreciated.
