A second Mexican Congressional hearing on UFOs held this week saw further discussion surrounding a pair of peculiar mummified bodies which some contend are aliens. The eyebrow-raising remains said to have been discovered in Peru spawned worldwide headlines back in September when journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan unveiled them to politicians at the first gathering devoted to exploring UFOs. On Tuesday, Mexico's Congress tackled the topic for a second time and, once again, the mysterious 'alien' bodies took center stage with multiple witnesses testifying to their unusual nature.
Sharing new photos and x-rays of the bodies, Dr. Daniel Mendoza reportedly posited that they were of "non-human beings," while Maussan took it a step further and argued that they were some kind of "new species" and asserted that these entities possessed neither lungs nor ribs. As to suggestions that the remains were cobbled together in a fashion similar to a Fiji Mermaid, anthropologist Roger Zuniga reportedly declared that "there was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings." He also furnished a letter signed by 11 of his colleagues from San Luis Gonzaga National University who echoed that assessment, though they stopped short of calling the beings extraterrestrial.
Among other people speaking at the gathering were an Argentine surgeon, who postulated that the beings were "our descendants," and, in an appropriately strange turn of events for a hearing on UFOs, Mexican musician Claudio Yarto, who recounted his own sighting of something anomalous and then delighted the audience with a rap to close out his portion of the proceedings. It is uncertain how the entire three-hour affair was seen by the politicians in attendance, though one official declared that "all ideas and all proposals will always be welcome to debate them, hear them to agree with or not." If there's one thing that seems certain following the hearing, it's that we have probably not heard or seen the last of the mysterious Peruvian mummies.
