This week, two alleged 'alien' bodies were unveiled during a congressional hearing in Mexico. These bodies were said to have been discovered in a Peruvian algae mine and were 1,000 years old. Journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, who presented these specimens, claimed that they were not part of terrestrial evolution.
However, the unveilings were met with immediate scepticism across the scientific community, due to the lack of peer-reviewed evidence. UK fossil expert Mark Kemp, who operates as The Yorkshire Fossil Hunter, quickly pointed out some red flags. He said for something to be classed as a fossil, it has to be over 10,000 years old - not 1,000 - and he was not seeing any bone structure.
Mr Kemp concluded that, in his opinion, the bodies were just a very rough carving job from the local rock in the algae caves they mentioned. The Autonomous National University of Mexico undertook analysis of the bodies, however, when asked for confirmation, the institution did not respond. Professor Julieta Fierro of the university said reports UNAM supported Mr Maussan’s discovery were false.
Former US Navy pilot Lt Ryan Graves, who spoke at the congressional hearing, was also unimpressed. He took to Twitter after the event and said he was deeply disappointed by the 'unsubstantiated stunt'. He asserted that he would continue to raise awareness of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) as an urgent matter of aerospace safety, national security, and science.
Overall, these findings have been met with a great deal of scepticism. As Professor Brian Cox wrote on Twitter, it is very unlikely that an intelligent species that evolved on another planet would look like us. It is clear that more detailed analysis is needed to support Mr Maussan’s claims.
