Mexico: Congress convenes second UFO session over Peruvian mummies

On Tuesday, researchers testified before Mexico’s Congress about a set of three-fingered Peruvian mummies that were recently shown as possible proof of non-human life forms. However, the researchers did not confirm that the remains were alien. On September 13, Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast, gave a firsthand presentation to lawmakers about UFOs during a first-ever congressional event on FANIs, or unidentified flying objects. Maussan showed two specimens. Maussan said the bodies had nothing to do with any life on Earth and were thought to have been discovered close to Peru’s ancient Nazca lines. Maussan brought in a number of doctors to testify that the bodies were those of actual, once-living organisms during Tuesday’s session, but he was more concerned with demonstrating that the bodies—which were not on display this time—were authentic. Legislator Sergio Gutierrez of the Morena party, which is led by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has proposed a law reform in Mexico that would require all UFO-related information to be made public. The discussion on Tuesday occasionally descended into a harsher justification. After examining test results and body images, Argentine surgeon Celestino Adolfo Piotto declared that he thought the remains were those of “our descendants,” an advanced form of modern humans. A more colourful moment came when Mexican rapper Claudio Yarto announced that he had personally seen UFOs. He then rhymed to end his speech and the audience cheered. (With agency inputs)
