“1,000 Year-Old Alien Corpses” in Mexico: Simple Reason Why This is Not True

Recently, a news story about the alleged ancient ‘alien remains’ dating back 1,000 years appeared on multiple online websites. But if you are skeptical about this particular ‘discovery‘, you are right. And here is why.

Allegedly, these ‘alien corpses’ were put on public display in Mexico, showcased within glass containers. The mastermind behind this performance was a journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan, who also titled himself as a UFO researcher. 

The story says he even provided sworn testimony to Mexican officials, sharing details about the presumed age of these preserved specimens and the scientific methods employed for their analysis.

These ‘specimens’ that resemble mummified remains were said to have been discovered in Cusco, Peru, and were estimated to be around 1,000 years old. Furthermore, the tale goes to even greater lengths, as Mr. Maussan claims to have completed the DNA analysis of those bodies, and the results indicated that nearly one-third of the genetic material in these remains is different from human DNA.

Maussan clarified that these specimens were not recovered from a UFO crash but rather were found in “diatom mines” and subsequently underwent fossilization.

To make things even more interesting, the UFO enthusiast said that “X-rays reportedly revealed the presence of eggs within one of the specimens”. And that “everything was confirmed by scientists”.

However, it’s worth noting that in 2015, Jaime Maussan made a nearly identical claim about a mummified body, at that time believed to be an alien, found near Nazca in Peru. Later, this earlier story from eight years ago was debunked as a lie.

Needless to say, the ‘updated’ tale from 2023 is not worthy of your trust.
