Self-proclaimed UFO expert shows alleged aliens to Mexico’s Congress

A Mexican journalist and self-proclaimed “ufologist” presented what he said were thousand-year-old “non-human” corpses to Mexico’s Congress, unveiling two scrawny, cartoonlike bodies during a hearing on Tuesday. “This is the first time [extraterrestrial life] is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with nonhuman specimens that are not related to any other species in our world,” Jaime Maussan told lawmakers, speaking under oath. “We are not alone.” The tiny alleged aliens, which lay in two boxes during the hearing, are likely about 1,000 years old, according to analyses conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, he said. The bodies were recovered underground in Peru in 2017 and found wrapped in algae, which helped preserve them, he said.
