Mexico’s Congress turned to spectacle again today as alien hunters came in for a second session in which they claimed to be in possession of extraterrestrial corpses.
Controversial UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan ushered in a string of doctors who all said the bodies were those of real, once-living organisms – some experts claimed to have studied ‘five similar specimens over four years.
New photographs and X-rays were shown to Congress on Tuesday, with researchers claiming the images prove that ‘they are real.’
The experts also indicated that their DNA is hybrid, suggesting the bodies were descendants of the being human.
‘We have a hybrid being, we have other beings that are apparently more evolved than us…we are facing something truly extraordinary,’ said Maussan.
While Mausaan and his team declared the mummified corpses, named Clara and Mauricio, ‘are real,’ the experts did not have an origin story and did not imply the bodies were ‘extraterrestrial.’
At Tuesday’s session, Maussan focused on proving the bodies were not fake by providing insights from medical experts.
‘None of the scientists say [the study results] prove that they are extraterrestrials, but I go further,’ he said, suggesting that they could be evidence of non-Earthly life forms.
Maussan brought a squad of medical experts who carried in a letter signed by 11 researchers from San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, declaring the same.
Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica Peru said Tuesday: ‘There was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings.’
However, the letter made clear that the team was not implying the bodies were ‘extraterrestrial’ but did not answer where the remains originated.
Argentine surgeon Celestino Adolfo Piotto took the stand, claiming he reviewed the results of testing done on the bodies and made the bizarre case that ‘they were an evolved version of today’s human beings, calling them ‘our descendants.’
In a more colorful moment, Mexican rapper Claudio Yarto said he had personally seen UFOs before ending his speech with a rhyme, sparking applause from the crowd.
While Maussan stood strong with his ‘proof,’ the presentation was criticized by many experts who dismissed it as a stunt, which appears to be the running theory worldwide.
These experts sighted similar studies on such remains that were found to have been fashioned from animal and human bones.
When asked about those studies, Zuniga said the specimens were probably fake – but reiterated that he and other researchers at the university had investigated similar specimens that he concluded were real.
During the second forum on extraterrestrial life, legislator Cynthia López (PRI) appeared outraged by the ‘spectacle’ in Congress.
‘We see Jaime Maussan here in the Chamber of Deputies. Sir, we are discussing the budget; it is not for you to come and do your lies and your things,’ López said.
‘This is the people’s house; we are discussing the budget.
They haven’t given a single peso to Acapulco, and you are visiting here.
‘We do not want Jaime Maussan in the Chamber of Deputies. Jaime Maussan out with his lies, there are priorities in the Chamber of Deputies, which is the budget for Acapulco.’
Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers became the subject of international ridicule in September when he presented two boxes with supposed mummies found in Peru.
The researchers made extraordinary claims that the corpses, presented in windowed boxes and supposedly recovered from Cusco in Peru, were not part of ‘our terrestrial evolution,’ with 30 percent of their genetic composition still ‘unknown,’ according to Mexican media.
Maussan – who has been associated with debunked alien theories in the past – insisted under oath in September: ‘These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution […] These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage.
‘They were found in diatom [algae] mines and were later fossilized.’
He later added: ‘Whether they are aliens or not, we don’t know, but they were intelligent and they lived with us. They should rewrite history.’
‘We are not alone in this vast universe, we should embrace this reality,’ he said at the event.’
The bodies shown at the congress were roughly humanoid in shape, with a retractable neck and long skull showing ‘characteristics’ more ‘typical of birds’, El País reported.
Presenters also said in September that they were also found to have strong, light bones and no teeth – and it was visually apparent they featured three fingers.
Carbon dating by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) following the first hearing found the bodies were more than 1,000 years old, Maussan claimed.
In 2017, Maussan made similar claims in Peru, and a report by that country´s prosecutor´s office found the bodies were actually ‘recently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin.’
The report added the figures were almost undoubtedly human-made and that ‘they are not the remains of ancestral aliens that they have tried to present.’
The bodies were not publicly unveiled then, so it is unclear if the ones brought to Congress are the same.
