FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be false.

On putting the image through Reverse Image Search, we found the same image in an article from 2020. “Unbelievable Creepy Hyper-Realistic Creatures By Laira Maganuco,” the title read.

We ran a keyword search and found a Silicon Sculpture made by Italian sculptor Laira Maganuco.

We found the same post on her Facebook page. “single-piece silicone armadillo hybrid, ” the post caption read.

Moreover, we also looked for credible media reports to see if any such creatures were spotted in Bihar or if NASA has issued any warning but no such reports were found.

In 2019 and 2020, NewsMobile had debunked some posts with a similar claim. The posts can be seen here and here.
