I say there’s an entry hole somewhere they overlooked. If it had bled off so much speed that it wouldn’t penetrate any further than that it wouldn’t have expanded enough for the petals to hold it from falling out.
I am going with a conspiracy theory of it just being incompetent mono loving aliens going for an oryx anal probe, but missing the hole. Maybe they were drinking?
As far as the bullet not falling out unless it expanded, you and I shared that thought. I guess it is possible that maybe the bullet is in just far enough for the skin to shrink around the third bullet groove and hold it there, like an O ring. Hard to tell from just one picture.
Or, the drunken alien abduction theory, I guess.
