IS THE STARCHILD SKULL THE MISSING LINK?

I do not believe in any 'greys' madness - but this is not a human skull, and has to be recognized as such. Now we have a problem Houston - what can explain this except it is an alien of some sort. If they find others then maybe we have a pattern, otherwise this is a one-time deal. I have read lots of theories over the years, but never accepted the story of any one theory. We simply do not know. My favorite story of 'something is going on that we do not understand' is the story of the kids in Zimbabwe who met some strangers who had a craft of some kind, and who 'spoke to them in their brains without actual words', and that was in a field next to their school. A whole class of kids had this experience, so unless somebody plotted a huge deception, that has to be recognized as weird & unexplained, and the people to whom that happened still tell the same story today. They believe they witnessed strange beings of some sort.

Classic cliche grey-bighead-alien with black eyes. Nice one History, this might be the missing link to finding the old HIT movie MARS ATTACKS , Truly epic! According to latest scientific findings of the starchild skull: The Starchild skull is part of a malformed human skull of a child who likely died as a result of congenital hydrocephalus. It received widespread publicity after paranormalist Lloyd Pye claimed it was of extraterrestrial origin.  Still not convinced lets explore together the myth and the facts.

The Starchild Skull chronicles eight-years of scientific testing of a highly unusual human-like skull. Collectively, that testing strongly indicates the skull is not entirely human. This is one of the most important stories in the world right now, literally history in the making.

IS THE STARCHILD A HYBRID ALIEN?

Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name was developed simultaneously with the film, though published after the film's release. It seems to explain the ending of the film more clearly. Clarke's novel explicitly identifies the monolith as a tool created by extraterrestrials that have been through many stages of evolution, moving from organic forms, through biomechanics, and finally to a state of pure energy.

The book explains the monolith much more specifically than the movie, depicting the first (on Earth) as a device capable of inducing a higher level of consciousness by directly interacting with the brain of pre-humans approaching it, the second (on the Moon) as an alarm signal designed to alert its creators that humanity had reached a sufficient technological level for space travel, and the third (near Jupiter in the movie but on a satellite of Saturn in the novel) as a gateway or portal to allow travel to other parts of the galaxy.

It depicts Bowman traveling through some kind of interstellar switching station which the book refers to as "Grand Central," in which travelers go into a central hub and then are routed to their individual destinations. The book also depicts a crucial utterance by Bowman when he enters the portal via the monolith; his last statement is "Oh my God—it's full of stars!" This statement is not shown in the movie, but becomes crucial in the 1984 sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact, based on the novel 2010: Odyssey Two.

The book reveals that these aliens travel the cosmos assisting lesser species to take evolutionary steps. Bowman explores the hotel room methodically, and deduces that it is a kind of zoo created by aliens—fabricated from information derived from television transmissions from Earth intercepted by the TMA-1 monolith—in which he is being studied by the invisible alien entities.

He examines some food items provided for him, and notes that they are edible, yet clearly not made of any familiar substance from Earth. Kubrick's film leaves all this unstated. Although not included in the movie, Kubrick did originally plan to have aliens portrayed in the movie, and only cut the idea after deciding that it was too hard to do it with special and practical effect.

OK I GET IT... THEN HOW DID THESE HYBRID ALIENS ARRIVE ON EARTH?

After seeing Space Odyssey, I read Arthur Clarke's book. I found the book gripping and intellectually satisfying, full of the tension and clarity which the movie lacks. All the parts of the movie that are vague and unintelligible especially the beginning and the end, become clear and convincing in the book. So I recommend to my middle-aged friends who find the movie bewildering that they should read the book; their teenage kids don't need to.

Clarke himself used to recommend reading the book, saying "I always used to tell people, 'Read the book, see the film, and repeat the dose as often as necessary'", although, as his biographer Neil McAleer points out, he was promoting sales of his book at the time. Elsewhere he said, "You will find my interpretation in the novel; it is not necessarily Kubrick's. Nor is his necessarily the 'right' one – whatever that means."

Film critic Penelope Houston noted in 1971 that the novel differs in many key respects from the film, and as such, it perhaps should not be regarded as the skeleton key to unlock it.

WANT TO KNOW IF THESE STARCHILDREN EVER EXISTED?

It's a totally different kind of experience, of course, and there are a number of differences between the book and the movie. The novel, for example, attempts to explain things much more explicitly than the film does, which is inevitable in a verbal medium. The novel came about after we did a 130-page prose treatment of the film at the very outset. This initial treatment was subsequently changed in the screenplay, and the screenplay in turn was altered during the making of the film. But Arthur took all the existing material, plus an impression of some of the rushes, and wrote the novel. As a result, there's a difference between the novel and the film.

I think that the divergencies between the two works are interesting. Actually, it was an unprecedented situation for someone to do an essentially original literary work based on glimpses and segments of a film he had not yet seen in its entirety.
