I heard the story of this astronaut on TV. did you ever heard of Erich von Däniken? His theory is that aliens visited us. This astronaut would be a hint for him. He would ignore the truth
GezginIt was sculpted by Miguel Romero (a resident of Salamanca and not an extraterrestrial, as far as we know) in 1992 during a restoration that was carried out on the facade. Here's a link to read about it: https://shorturl.at/aCLW3
GezginThat’s funny, Marlies, I think he probably HAS seen this photo and he’s already using it as proof for his wild theories. 😂 Of course, maybe aliens HAVE visited the Earth, but it doesn’t explain this particular astronaut. 😆

Laurie ReynoldsI had snow today about 25 km outside of Ponferrada. Looks like the weather is changing here for us, for the better. Hope it is for you too.
