Mexican lawmakers heard testimony that ``we are not alone'' in space and witnessed what was described as inhuman remains at the Latin American country's first extraordinary parliamentary hearing on UFOs. .
At Tuesday's public hearing on FANI (the Spanish acronym for what is now commonly referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)), Mexican journalist and longtime UFO enthusiast Jaime Morsan said it was about an alien corpse. The two claimed artifacts were shown to politicians.
The specimen has no connection to life on Earth, Morsan said.
His two small "bodies" on display in a case have his three fingers on each hand and an elongated head. Mossan said they were recovered in 2017 near the old Nazca Lines in Peru. He said they are about 1,000 years old and were analyzed through a carbon dating process by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Similar discoveries have been made in the past, including the remains of mummified children.
Mr Morsan said it was the first time such evidence had been presented.
"I think there is clear evidence that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are unrelated to other species in our world. And I think all scientific institutions have this There is every opportunity to study this," Morthan said.
"We are not alone," he added. Jose de Jesús Zalce BenÃtez, director of Mexico's Naval Institute of Sciences and Health, said the remains had been subjected to X-rays, 3D reconstruction and DNA analysis. "We can confirm that these bodies have nothing to do with humans," he said.
UNAM on Thursday reissued a statement first issued in 2017 saying that the National Laboratory for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (LEMA) research was only aimed at determining the age of the samples.
"In no case do we draw any conclusions about the origin of these samples," the statement said.
Lawmakers also heard from former U.S. Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who participated in the Congressional hearing, about his personal experience with UAPs and the stigma that comes with reporting such sightings. Rep. Sergio Gutierrez of President Andres Manuel López Obrador's ruling Morena party said he hoped the hearing would be the first of similar events in Mexico.
"We have considerations, concerns and ways to continue to talk about it," Gutierrez said.
In recent years, the U.S. government has pivoted to releasing public information about UAPs after decades of silence and distraction. The Pentagon has actively investigated reports of sightings by military aviators in recent years, but this is the first time the space agency has investigated UFOs by an independent NASA panel.
NASA plans to discuss the study results on Thursday. Mohsan faced intense backlash and criticism on Wednesday from skeptics who questioned the authenticity of his presentation.
"This could seriously damage efforts to take this issue seriously," said a user on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). "Why didn't you wait to publish until the scientific paper was complete?"
