A man who posted pictures of an 'alien' in his freezer has sparked a frenzy on social networking sites across China.
Mr Li, from China's Binzhou Shangdong province, claimed the alien was electrocuted by a rabbit trap after a UFO crash landed near his house, the Daily Mail reports.
Mr Li said he saw a formation of UFOs buzzing across the night sky along the Yellow River before one of the crafts fell from the sky.

Left in it's wake was the burnt, bizarre looking creature which Mr Li claims he took back to his home to be stored in a freezer.
His outlandish claims were quickly brought back to earth with local police saying that the alleged alien was in fact made from high-quality rubber.

"The alien purported electrocuted and discovered by a man in Binzhou is a high quality imitation," a Jinan police officer said.
This has not discouraged bloggers from trying to connect the Shandong 'alien' to another reported sighting in the Hubei province.
