A journalist specialized in ufology presented during a public hearing the alleged bodies of two extraterrestrial beings.
Mexico's Congress is usually meant for solemn presentations on serious budgets and laws, but this week, lawmakers heard testimony from a self-proclaimed ufologist who brought with him some unusual objects: two mummified specimens that he claimed were the bodies of extraterrestrial beings.
In an astonishing presentation this Tuesday, Jaime Maussan, left the audience speechless when he showed two eupposed mummies of small stature and chalky color; each one had three-fingered hands and what appeared to be shrunken or dissected heads.
Maussan declared under oath that they were non-human beings. He said they were buried in a remote site in Peru and were about a thousand years old, according to carbon tests supposedly carried out by researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Researchers, however, have distanced themselves from Maussan's conclusions.
The university's Institute of Physics issued a statement in which it made clear that its researchers had never examined the specimens , but simply conducted some carbon tests in 2017 that showed they were manufactured using a combination of human and animal bones, plant fibers and synthetic adhesives. Another analysis in 2021 determined that the head of one of the specimens was a deteriorated llama skull.
