Mr. Ballin: 故事讲述了2003年卡洛斯在智利阿塔卡马沙漠发现了一个奇怪的骨骼。最初，由于其奇特的形状，人们怀疑它是外星生物。然而，经过进一步的DNA检测，发现它实际上是一个患有严重出生缺陷的现代人类女孩，出生于20世纪70年代。尽管如此，关于骨骼的伦理问题和起源仍然存在争议。 Carlos Ocampo: 我在阿塔卡马沙漠中发现了一个奇怪的骨骼，它只有六英寸长，头部不成比例的大，看起来很像外星人。我当时觉得这个骨骼会值很多钱。 Dr. Grant Nash: 我对阿塔的DNA进行了检测，发现她不是外星人，而是一个小女孩，她的DNA来自智利的土著人民和欧洲人。我还发现她患有严重的出生缺陷，导致她的头部形状奇特。尽管如此，我仍然想弄清楚所有关于阿塔的事情。 Dr. Stephen Simpson: 我听说了关于阿塔骨骼的传言，并向我的朋友纳什展示了它的照片。我们都觉得这个骨骼非常奇怪，可能是一种新发现的古代人类，或者来自另一个星系的外星生物。 Dr. Stephen Greer: 我确信阿塔是外星生命形式的骨骼，因为它的头部形状奇特，而且体型非常小。 Dr. Ben Hoffman: 我对阿塔的骨骼进行了检查，发现它显示出六岁人类的典型发育迹象。这让我很困惑，因为这个小东西怎么可能活了整整六年？

Shownotes Transcript

**“Out of This World”: **In 2003, a treasure hunter in Chile makes a shocking discovery: a tiny, 6-inch skeleton of what appears to be a human. But parts of its anatomy just don’t make sense. It’s too well-formed to be a fetal skeleton, and its skull is strangely elongated – making some people wonder, is this a medical mystery… or an extraterrestrial one? 

“A Good Scrub Down”:

After thoroughly cleaning his apartment, a young man is ready to enjoy his weekend. A few hours later, his eye starts to itch unbearably. Is it an allergy? An irritant? A bacteria? Or something even more sinister?
