According to Reuters news agency, Mexican lawmakers have just held an unusual hearing, listening to the opinion that "humans are not alone" in the universe, marking the first time the issue of UFOs (unidentified flying objects) has been raised in the Latin American country's parliament.

During the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) hearing, politicians were shown two specimens that Mexican journalist and longtime UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan claimed were “alien corpses.” The specimens, which Maussan claimed were “unrelated to any life on Earth,” had small bodies, elongated heads, and three-fingered hands.

According to the Mexican journalist, they were found in Peru in 2017. The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) then conducted radiocarbon dating and found that they were about 1,000 years old. Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, director of the Mexican Navy's Institute of Medical Sciences, said that X-rays, 3-D reconstructions and DNA analysis were also performed on the artifacts. "It is clear that we are dealing with non-human specimens, unrelated to any other species in the world. We are not alone," Maussan said.

At the hearing, lawmakers also heard from former US Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who has appeared at US congressional hearings, talking about his personal experience with UAPs. According to the New York Times, Congressman Sergio Gutiérrez Luna invited Mr. Maussan to testify to “hear different perspectives on a topic of great interest to many people.”

Many doubts

In fact, similar discoveries in the past have been of mummified children, according to Reuters. UNAM also reiterated a statement first made in 2017 that it only dated specimens based on skin samples provided by clients and never examined the specimens itself. “In any case, we do not draw conclusions about the origin of the specimens,” the UNAM statement said.

Researchers disagree with Maussan’s views, The New York Times reported. Antígona Segura, one of Mexico’s leading astrobiologists, expressed skepticism. “These conclusions are simply not supported by the evidence,” Segura said.

Many questions have been raised: How did Mr. Maussan get the specimens from Peru to Mexico? Are they really from Peru or are they just copies of the alleged extraterrestrial mummies that are still in Peru?

According to several Peruvian newspapers, in 2017, Maussan learned of some of the mummies from a Peruvian tomb robber. Analysis of the Peruvian specimens showed that they were made using human bones combined with animal bones, plant fibers, and synthetic adhesives. Another analysis in 2021 determined that the head of one of the specimens was a badly damaged llama skull. While dismissing the idea that the mummies were aliens, the researchers were surprised by how the specimens were created so many centuries ago. They assessed that “these appear to be very high-quality artifacts.”

According to the New York Times, Mr. Maussan is an investigative journalist who has studied extraterrestrial phenomena for decades. He is known for similar statements in the Mexican Congress, appearing frequently on television and YouTube, and is also known for selling his own line of functional products. His announcement in the Mexican Congress has attracted public attention to the issue of growing concern in the Latin American country.

In 2015, Jaime Maussan revealed the existence of a specimen believed to be an alien body unearthed in Nazca, Peru. However, the discovery was later debunked as the supposed mummy of a child with a deformed head. Anthropologists say such elongated skulls are often the result of an ancient method of artificial cranial deformation. As part of ancient religious rituals, young children were bound with cloth, rope, and even wooden planks, according to snopes.com.
