An out-of-this-world case brings Brennan and Booth to New Mexico where they investigate human remains with extraterrestrial attributes. The victim is identified as a local UFO fanatic, known around town for her relentless search for alien life forms and whose latest "evidence" leads even Brennan and Booth to re-think outside existence. Meanwhile, a local sheriff refuses to release the bones, forcing the team at the Jeffersonian to work via satellite, and Angela and Jeffersonian intern Wendell come clean about their relationship.

The ball bearings would not have stayed in the skull of the body under the influence of an MRI. While the intense magnetic field would have indeed caused the body to act as depicted, the bearings would have been ripped out extremely quickly.

Quotes

Special Agent Seeley Booth: Maybe aliens are... anthropologists. Maybe they just want to study our religion and sex, and love and our funny languages, and line dancing.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: That's an interesting possibility I hadn't considered.
