Journalist and UFOlogist Jaime Maussan has unveiled the mummies of two supposed "humanoids" during an online-streamed congressional hearing in Mexico, which he says prove the existence of aliens.
The journalist made the claim that the corpses, presented in windowed boxes and supposedly recovered from Peru's Cusco, were not part of "our terrestrial evolution."
The figures appeared to feature three long fingers, elongated skulls, and slim bodies.
"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 mines, and were later fossilized," Maussan insisted under oath.
According to the journalist, radiocarbon analysis of the remains conducted by the Autonomous National University of Mexico showed that they are about 1000 years old, and molecular analysis revealed that the genetic code is very different from the human one, with 30% of their genetic composition still "unknown."
X-rays of the figures were also shown to the audience during the hearing, with the UFOlogist suggesting that there appeared to be eggs inside the figures.
"We are not alone in this vast universe, we should embrace this reality," Maussan concluded at the event.
According to the local media, the hearing aimed to adjudicate the phenomenon in the Aerial Space Protection Law, which would turn Mexico into the first country in the world to recognize the presence of extraterrestrials on the planet.
The Mexican journalist Maussan has previously been involved in claims of "alien" finds that were later disproved, including five mummies found in Peru in 2017.
The extraterrestrial nature of the mummies was disproved by the Paleo DNA lab at Lakehead University (Canada), which determined from the hand and brain tissue from one of the specimens that they were 100% made of humans.
Later, the World Congress for the Study of Mummies of Peru denounced the bodies as hoaxes made from human remains. Experts added that the remains could have been tampered with to give them a more alien appearance.
