The source is not credible at all. Every one of those skulls is either the result of cranial binding (such as the Huns, but also practiced by most Meso-American and South American natives), or is a product of a hydrocephalic disorder.
If you look at the date of the documented link in question, it comes from a period of time very early in the history of the web (from the link)
The photos first appeared a year ago on CompuServe
Also, the name of the link (ufo-disclosure) should be a dead giveaway.
I was referring to the site’s explanation for the skulls. So, the site only got right that the skulls are real. Their explanation for them (aliens) was rather far-fetched.
I am well aware of the prolific nature of deformed skulls (cranial deformation) across the world (and on the internet). I’ve done a bit of body modification myself, although mine is not nearly so apparent.
Can you say anything about the credibility of the source?

Have a look at their main page:

The ufo site is pretty irrelevant—since these photos are on hundreds of sites all over the internet. For more pictures, perhaps see:

Most of the skulls are generally thought to be genuine. Here’s a video about the phenomenon:
