The Atacama skeleton (died c. late 1970's), commonly named Ata, was the skeletonized body probably belonging to a unborn infant found in 2003 in the ghost town of La Norie, Chile. The infant had died more than c. 20 years prior to it's discovery in 2003. The body had a unusual short size, shape, and height, and was once thought to have belonged to a extraterrestrial. DNA analysis done on the body in 2018 found there were unusual mutations on the body. The height of the skeleton was only c. 6 inches (15 cm). The remains were discovered by Oscar Munoz, who later sold them to another owner. The current owner now is Ramón Navia-Osorio, a Spanish businessman.
