Old news, but I'd never heard of this April Fool's hoax before. In its own way, it's brilliant. I don't know if Arthur Conan Doyle would be amused or annoyed, but perhaps he would take some comfort in the fact that even today, people can be fooled by fake fairies!

Obviously a hoax. Anyone can see that it is not a fairy.

That clearly is the body of a small space alien.
