In a bizarre incident, two alleged alien-like corpses were unveiled to Mexican politicians by the country's Congress in Mexico City on Tuesday. The congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena was live-streamed online, in which the small "non-human" bodies were displayed in transparent boxes for public viewing, reported the Independent.
The alleged alien corpses having only three fingers and elongated heads are said to be a millennium old and retrieved from Cusco, Peru. This has sparked a debate about the existence of extraterrestrial beings.
Journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, who spearheaded the event also testified under oath that the mummified specimens are not part of "our terrestrial evolution", with almost a third of their DNA remaining "unknown", the media outlet reported.
Ryan Graves, Americans for Safe Aerospace Executive Director and former US Navy pilot was also a part of the event.
Maussan, before unveiling the alleged alien corpses, showed several videos of "UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena" US officials and members of the Mexican government.
"These specimen 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," Maussan was quoted as saying by the Independent.
He also said that the specimens were studied by Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM) scientists who drew DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating. Comparisons were also made to other DNA samples after which it was found that over 30 percent of the DNA specimen was ''unknown''.
X-rays of the corpses were also displayed in which one of the bodies is seen to have “eggs” inside along with rare metal implants like Osmium, reported the Independent.
Maussan, has in the past claimed of discovering aliens but all of the were later debunked. His claim of five mummies found in Peru in 2017 later emerged to be human children.
