Aliens in Mexico’s Congress: Earth-Shattering Revelation or Another Hoax?

In a historic chamber the place legal guidelines are normally the point of interest, Mexican lawmakers earlier this week discovered themselves delving into the realm of the extraterrestrial.

A presentation on Tuesday within the Mexican Congress has ignited fervent discussions each within the legislative halls and the digital corridors of social media. The burning query on everybody’s lips: Alien corpses? Actually? (Spoiler: very doubtless not.)

In a controversial session, researchers from numerous corners of the globe congregated in Mexico Metropolis to current what might probably be earth-shattering proof of extraterrestrial existence. Journalist and self-described ufologist José Jaime Maussan, a central determine on this unfolding drama, unveiled supposed mummies unearthed from the sandy terrains of Peru, which he and others imagine are “non-human beings that aren’t a part of our terrestrial evolution.”

However don’t roll your eyes simply but, this isn’t The Roswell Weekly. He additionally says his declare is backed by scientific analysis. In response to Maussan, UNAM, Mexico’s most prestigious college, carbon dated the corpses, and concluded that they’re certainly historical creatures over a thousand years outdated.

UNAM printed a press release on Wednesday confirming that it certainly analyzed tissue samples and dated them. Whether or not the our bodies are from this planet or one other is past its scope of research, the college mentioned.

“In Might 2017, the LEMA (Carbon-14 Courting Laboratory) carried out a Carbon-14 courting examine on a set of samples offered by the consumer, which, in line with the knowledge offered, consisted of roughly 0.5 grams of pores and skin and mind tissue. The outcomes of this examine have been issued in June of the identical yr and delivered to the requesting person,” mentioned college researchers.

“The Carbon-14 courting work carried out on the LEMA is solely meant to find out the age of the pattern introduced by every person, and in no way will we draw conclusions concerning the origin of those samples,” they concluded.

Representatives for UNAM didn’t instantly reply to Decrypt’s request for extra feedback.

Additionally current at Tuesday’s listening to in Mexico Metropolis was American for Protected Aerospace Govt Director Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot who additionally testified earlier than the U.S. Congress in July on associated issues. If you happen to’ve been following these items, you already know this listening to properly—it’s the one which launched the world to the phrase “non-human biologics,’ uttered by retired Air Drive main David Grusch, who claims the U.S. authorities has recovered such materials from supposed UFO crash websites.

Graves, the Navy pilot, mentioned in a Twitter submit following Tuesday’s listening to that he accepted the invite from the Mexican Congress with the hopes of holding “the momentum of presidency curiosity in pilot experiences with UAP,” referring to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (what they’re calling UFOs nowadays). He, nevertheless, isn’t shopping for Maussan’s alien corpse mummies.

“I’ll proceed to boost consciousness of UAP as an pressing matter of aerospace security, nationwide safety, and science, however I’m deeply disenchanted by this unsubstantiated stunt,” he tweeted.

And he’s received good motive to suppose it’s all hooey.

Again in 2017, an identical alien corpse presentation was made within the Peruvian Congress, spearheaded by the identical Jaime Maussan. Maussan confirmed Peruvian lawmakers comparable “alien mummies” and claimed they have been present in Peruvian soil. Maussan received his first quarter-hour of fame, and the “Nazca mummies” made the rounds within the world press. However it was all bogus.

Maussan’s Nazca mummies have been debunked as a hoax involving manipulated mummies and even desecrated human stays. As reported by Latin American outlet Código Oculto on the time, consultants confirmed that the supposed alien our bodies have been nothing greater than a concoction of canine skulls and human bones, crafted to resemble aliens.

Sorry X-Recordsdata followers, this one feels like extra fiction than science.

We get it, although. It’s been an fascinating yr for many who need to imagine. There’s been extra speak of aliens and UFOs from authorities officers than ever earlier than. NASA at the moment introduced the discharge of a complete report from the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena impartial examine crew, which guarantees additional insights.

The impartial examine crew consists of 16 “neighborhood consultants,” and NASA says the report will “make clear the character and origin” of UAPs. We’ll see. It’s going to be exhausting to prime alien mummies.
