The Mexican Congress held a hearing focused on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs, on Tuesday, September 12.
The hearing, facilitated by lawmakers, featured the presentation of what are claimed to be extraterrestrial remains by Jaime Maussan, a veteran journalist and UFO enthusiast.
During the hearing, Maussan showcased two small bodies reportedly retrieved near the ancient Nazca Lines in Peru in 2017.
These entities, housed in protective cases, featured elongated heads and three-fingered hands, characteristics not identified with known earthly species.
Maussan asserted that carbon dating processes, conducted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), estimated the remains to be approximately 1,000 years old.
Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, the Director of the Scientific Institute for Health of the Mexican navy, revealed that examinations including X-rays, 3-D reconstruction, and DNA analysis had been performed on the bodies, supporting the claim that the specimens bore no relation to humans.
However, UNAM, in a statement first released in 2017 and reiterated on Thursday, clarified that their involvement was solely to determine the age of the samples, not to draw conclusions on their origin.
In addition to Maussan, the hearing saw testimony from Ryan Graves, a former U.S. Navy pilot who has previously shared his encounters with UAP at U.S. Congressional hearings.
Graves discussed the experiences and stigma associated with reporting UAP sightings.
Congressman Sergio Gutierrez expressed optimism that this event would pave the way for more discussions on the topic in Mexico.
Gutierrez, a member of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s ruling Morena party, highlighted the need to delve deeper into this issue which is garnering increased attention globally.
