Here's the Wikipedia article on the Pedro Mountains Mummy. It includes photos.
I came across a note in my archives of this photograph, which is far superior:

Quoting Wikipedia:
"According to a July 7, 1979, article in the Casper Star-Tribune the first mummy started debates over whether it was a hoax, a baby, or one of the legendary "little people". The mummy ended up in Meeteetse, Wyoming at a local drug store where it was shown as an attraction for several years before it was bought by Ivan T. Goodman, a Casper, Wyoming businessman. The mummy was then passed on to Leonard Wadler, a New York businessman, and its present location is unknown. Seeking to prove evolution wrong, an offer of a $10,000 reward was made for the person who finds the missing mummy according to the Casper Star-Tribune".
Hang on... I know something about this...
There's a connection with Kenneth Arnold.
I posted this online some years back
"Thanks to an exceptionally helpful U.S. library service, after much searching I now have a copy of Kenneth Arnold's rare, self-published, 1950 booklet, 'The Flying Saucer as I Saw it' [the correct punctuation]".
Detailing the contents, I wrote:
(Start)
Page 11: This is an astonishing and unexpected discovery.
Arnold writes:
"YOU'VE heard stories of 'Little Men' associated with FLYING SAUCERS. The many descriptions by responsible people who have seen little men describe them differently than these photographs but...
This tiny, monkey-like man once lived and breathed... and walked on the earth as one of God's creatures. Scientists and curators are unable to positively determine his origin, but have tentatively concluded that he came to earth during the post-glacial period. It is thought the specimen might have existed previous to the little tree men, who existed about the same time as the dinosaur".
[...]
"The anthropological department of Harvard University says there is no doubt about the creature's rarity. The Curator of the Egyptian Department of the Boston Museum says the mummy has the appearance of Egyptian specimens
Dr. Henry Fairfield, noted scientist, calls the creature Hesperopithecus after a form of anthropoid, which roamed the North American continent in the middle of the Pliocene period. All of them say it is the most perfect, prehistoric mummy ever discovered.
Height in position it sits six and a half inches. Weight three quarters of one pound".
Comment: Arnold is clearly comfortable with an association between 'Little Men' - even if they're only inches tall - and flying saucers.
This would be coherent with his second 1947 sighting of enigmatic aerial objects [Arnold claimed to have had some eight seperate encounters with 'UFOs' during his flying days] as he first recalled in 'FATE' magazine, Spring 1948:
"It was July 30 at dawn I took off in my own plane, intending to reach Tacoma before dark and contact Mr Dahl.
It was at 7:00 o'clock that morning I sighted a formation of small disks going south at 4,000 feet as I was letting down at La Grande, Oregon.
I attempted to turn and catch up with them, but they were out of sight before I could complete my turn".
[...]
"I would judge them about thirty inches across, very thin, and light brown in color".
Arnold expresses no reservations about how irrational this might seem.
What is the source of Arnold's "tiny, monkey-like man"...
Incredibly, it's nothing less than little Pedro.
Arnold publishes three photographs; two are X-rays. In addition to the X-ray photograph at the above web site, there's a "Frontal X-Ray".
The other photograph shows a young boy holding up a ruler in front of 'Pedro', confirming the artefact's size.
Alas, poor Pedro is by this time seemingly mounted upright on a display plinth.
Perhaps a shocking end for such a curiosity, although it would make a unique conversational paperweight".
(End)
So, I need to find my copy of Arnold's publication, to check whether that photo of, 'Pedro on a plinth' is indeed our little enigma and shall duly have another search - it's been misplaced for a number of years now...
