Alleged Discovery of “Alien Corpses” still lacks of Evidence

On September 13th, 2023, the Mexican Congress held a hearing on the possibility of extraterrestrial life. UFO researcher Jaime Maussan presented the remains of two ancient "non-human" alien corpses to Mexican lawmakers during a congressional hearing about UFOs. Maussan claimed that the bodies were retrieved in 2017 from Cusco, Peru, and radiocarbon dating revealed them to be up to 1,800 years old.

The small mummified specimens were brought out in two glass display cases for lawmakers to observe. Maussan testified that the bodies were evidence that extraterrestrial life had previously visited Earth. (Source: USA Today | Archive)

The news of allegedly "aliens" disclosure in the Mexican Congress was widely shared across social media, with massive shares and views.

Despite the global sensation, many sources and experts believe the corpses were not aliens. And Maussan's discovery in Peru was already debunked years ago.

Experts Comments

The supposed extraterrestrial bodies were reportedly discovered by Mexican researchers and quickly gained international attention. However, experts who have examined the remains say they are likely fabricated to gain publicity and attention. Following the congressional hearing, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (NAUM) re-released its 2017 statement about the samples discovered in Peru. The statement clarifies that NAUM scientists only conduct carbon dating on samples provided to them and do not handle the original specimens directly. (Source: ABC News)

Furthermore, since 2017, Snopes has debunked Jaime Maussan's previous report of a mummified body found in Peru in 2015. DNA analysis confirmed that the remains were of a human female, and experts believe that the body was artificially elongated to create the impression of an alien. The body was initially discovered in 2017 and was immediately the subject of conspiracy theories and speculation.

LiveScience also published an article on the same topic, discussing the "mummified alien" found in Peru that was, in fact, a human female whose body had been artificially elongated. Experts say these hoaxes are frequently created for financial gain or publicity.

NASA Statement

Yesterday (September 14th), NASA released an independent report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly referred to as UFOs. The report announced the appointment of a new position to oversee UAP investigations. It concluded that most UAP observations can be attributed to physical objects rather than sensor anomalies or other explanations. The report also recommends new research initiatives and improved data collection methods to investigate UAP sightings further.

Furthermore, David Spergel, the chair of the NASA UAP study, responded to Mexico's viral discovery, stating that he had only seen reports about the specimens on social media and did not possess detailed information about their nature. "We don't know the nature of those samples," he said. He urged the Mexican government to make the samples available to the global scientific community, emphasizing the importance of data-driven investigations. (Source: CNBC)

In summary, the alleged discovery of extraterrestrial bodies in the Mexican Congress, which was widely shared on social media, still lacks evidence. The previous report from Maussan was debunked years ago, so many experts find it hard to believe the validity of this claim in the hearing. Additionally, NASA has commented that the samples must be presented to scientists for further investigation.
