Meanwhile, the Mexican Congress assembled a hearing on the potential of alien life on September 13, 2023. During a congressional session on UFOs, UFO researcher Jaime Maussan presented the skeletons of two ancient “non-human” alien bodies to Mexican lawmakers. There was a viral video depicting an alien being cut as a cake. This video has been widely shared among international users around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Fact Crescendo team found that these cakes were made to resemble an alien. Let\u2019s look at the claim in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Check <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact Crescendo has reviewed and verified the above claim through a Google Reverse Image Search and the recent news, which brought us to the following facts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact video with the same form and format has been found on a TikTok user, The Bake King<\/a>, also known as Ben Cullen, who uploaded it on September 15 with the caption, \u201cYou won\u2019t believe this! The truth is out there. #cake #alien #aliens<\/em>\u201d. According to it, the cake was created by Ben Cullen, a tattoo artist and baker from Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides these, researchers in Mexico are said to have found the alleged alien remains, which attracted attention internationally right away. According to scientists who have analyzed the remains, they were most likely created to attract attention and notoriety. The following studies done by the researchers were also not assembled according to Euro News<\/a> published on September 20, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still insufficient evidence supporting the widely publicized alleged finding of alien remains in the Mexican Congress. Numerous experts find it difficult to accept the legitimacy of this claim made in the hearing since the previous report from Maussan had been debunked years ago. NASA has also said that the samples must be sent to scientists for additional research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
