There are many stories surrounding this photograph. Some say it is an alien. Some say it is a decomposing body.
    The most fascinating account tells of the origin of the photograph taking place in Ras el Khaimah, United Arab Emerates.
    Supposedly, the picture was a piece of evidence in a case involving the death of the same young man who took the picture.
    Apparently, after being warned not to go, the young man went into some deserted caves in Ras el Khaimah to take pictures. He was accompanied by a friend part of the way, and it may have been his friend who warned him not to go into the deserted caves.
    After seeing the flash from the young man's camera, the friend heard him scream. He called to the young man, but getting no answer, went to the police.
    Hours later, they found the young man dead in the cave; he had taken only one picture with his camera - the one above.
