Mexican Congress heard from researchers Tuesday, Nov. 7, who said Peruvian mummies are real. But the researchers declined to label the mummies as extraterrestrial life forms.
Journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan initially presented the specimens on Sept. 13 at a congressional UFO event.

During Tuesday’s session, Maussan aimed to verify the authenticity of the bodies, supported by a panel of doctors confirming their biological origins.
Maussan and his group of researchers showed photographs and x-rays of what he said was a “non-human being.”
Maussan said the bodies belonged to a “new species,” as they lacked lungs and ribs.
Anthropologist Roger Zuniga from San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, vouched for the specimens’ legitimacy, stating they exhibited no signs of human intervention but refrained from categorizing them as “extraterrestrial.” A letter from 11 university researchers corroborated this stance.

Maussan’s September presentation had faced criticism, with experts debunking it as a stunt contradicted by scientific evidence. Zuniga, however, emphasized the veracity of the specimens they had examined.
Congressman Sergio Gutierrez urged a reform in Mexican law, adding that Congress welcomes all ideas and proposals for debate, regardless of their agreement.
In 2017, Maussan made comparable extraterrestrial findings in Peru. A report from the Peruvian prosecutor’s office revealed that the bodies were, in fact, “recently manufactured dolls covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to mimic skin.”
The report stated that these figures were of human origin and were not “ancestral aliens,” contradicting the claims made. It remains uncertain whether these are the same bodies presented to Mexico’s Congress, as they were not publicly disclosed at that time.
