The detail that makes me wonder if this is too good to be true is “elephant man” (assuming it’s a reference to John Hurt).

When I saw this online I also had the same impression – is this real?

I'm pretty sure "big elephant man" refers to the dead alien pilot, not John Hurt.

The way this is written reminds me of the infamous (and entirely fake) Honda motorcycle safety rules that have been making the rounds for the past 100 years: https://www.vertumotorcycles.com/news/the-not-so-true-story-of-the-1962-honda-safety-rules/

Still a fun read though.
