Mexico's Congress was once again the stage for a spectacle as alien hunters returned for a second session, claiming to possess extraterrestrial corpses.
UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan, accompanied by a group of doctors, presented new photographs and X-rays to Congress, asserting that the images provided evidence of real, once-living organisms. The experts also suggested that the DNA of the bodies was hybrid, indicating that they were descendants of a different species. Maussan described the discovery as "truly extraordinary."
While Maussan and his team declared the mummified corpses, named Clara and Mauricio, to be real, they did not provide an origin story or explicitly state that the bodies were extraterrestrial. Instead, they focused on proving that the bodies were not fake by presenting insights from medical experts. Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, stated that there was no human intervention in the formation of these beings. Argentine surgeon Celestino Adolfo Piotto claimed that the bodies were an evolved version of modern humans, suggesting that they were our descendants.
The presentation, however, faced criticism from many experts who dismissed it as a stunt. Similar studies on remains like these have previously been found to be made from animal and human bones. When questioned about these studies, Zuniga suggested that those specimens were likely fake but maintained that the specimens investigated by him and his colleagues were real.
During the session, legislator Cynthia Lpez expressed her outrage at the spectacle in Congress, stating that it was inappropriate for Maussan to present his claims while the budget was being discussed. She emphasized that there were more pressing priorities for the Chamber of Deputies, such as the budget for Acapulco.
This is not the first time Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers have faced international ridicule. In September, Maussan presented two boxes containing supposed mummies found in Peru. The researchers claimed that these corpses, recovered from Cusco, were not part of our terrestrial evolution, with 30 percent of their genetic composition still unknown. Maussan insisted that these specimens were not found after a UFO wreckage but were discovered in diatom mines and later fossilized. He argued that these beings were intelligent and lived among humans, suggesting that history should be rewritten to reflect this reality.
The bodies showcased during the congressional session had a humanoid shape, with a retractable neck and a long skull displaying characteristics more typical of birds. They were also found to have strong, light bones, no teeth, and three fingers. Carbon dating conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) revealed that the bodies were over 1,000 years old.
It is worth noting that in 2017, Maussan made similar claims in Peru, but a report by the country's prosecutor's office concluded that the bodies were recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate skin. The report stated that the figures were undoubtedly human-made and not the remains of ancestral aliens.
While the presentation at Mexico's Congress has sparked controversy and skepticism among experts, it has also reignited the debate about the existence of extraterrestrial life. As the discussion continues, it is crucial to approach these claims with a critical eye and rely on scientific evidence to separate fact from fiction.
