Journalist and self-proclaimed Ufologist Jaime Maussan unboxed short humanoid figures in the Mexican Congress, saying that were alien specimens. He said the mummified and fossilised “non-human” remains were found in Peru’s Cusco and are believed to be a thousand years old.
The humanoids displayed in the Congress had a striking resemblance to the aliens usually seen in movies, giving way to more questions than answers. They also seemed to have elongated heads and three fingers on each hand.
Maussan testified that the specimens were “not part of our terrestrial evolution” and were not discovered from a UFO wreckage.
Why should we believe it?
Maussan’s claims may seem unbelievable at first. However, the Mexcian journalist was testifying before the nation’s Congress and would risk perjury if he lied. Moreover, the Congress session was reportedly attended and co-hosted by other reputed scientists, including the Executive Director of Americans for Safe Aerospace.
Maussan also assured the parliamentarians that his findings were peer-reviewed. He claimed that the Autonomous National University of Mexico had studied the specimens after their discovery in 2017 and was able to draw DNA using the process of radiocarbon dating.
And why should we not?
Mausaan’s legitimacy as a UFO expert has been questioned before. In 2015, he claimed a mummy discovered in Peru was of an alien. However, the claims were deemed invalid after the fact-checking website Snopes.com said the remains were of a child.
The specimens displayed in the Mexican Congress seemed “too humanoid to be believable,” a social media user wrote. The lack of international reaction to the announcement has also been underwhelming.

Similar claims in the past
This is not the first time that claims of the existence of aliens have been covered up by governments. An American whistleblower came forward with similar claims in July this year.
Former Air Force intelligence officer Major David Grusch testified before the US Congress and said that Washington is concealing a longstanding program that retrieves and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects.
The US Department of Defense was quick to nix Grusch’s claims. A statement released by the Pentagon said there was no “verifiable information to substantiate the claims.”
