In the latest twist in the tale of the mysterious mummified 'alien' bodies presented to Mexico's Congress, an analysis of the curious remains has allegedly determined that 30 percent of their DNA comes from an unknown species. The intriguing assertion was reportedly put forward by ufologist Jaime Maussan, who made worldwide headlines back in September when he unveiled the peculiar specimens to a panel of politicians at a hearing on UFOs. In his most recent meeting with the country's Congress this past week, the researcher reportedly provided an update on his study of the puzzling bodies that are said to have been recovered from a cave in Peru.
According to Maussan, a recent DNA analysis of the remains found that 30 percent of their DNA is "not from any known species" and he once again pushed back against skeptics of the specimens by insisting that they are "authentic" rather than some kind of fabrication created long ago. Confident in his belief that the bodies are otherworldly in nature, he boldly declared to the country's Congress that "this is the first time extraterrestrial life has been presented in this manner." Shedding additional light on the perplexing specimens, Maussan indicated that the metallic implants seen within them are comprised of cadmium and osmium, though their purpose is still a mystery.
A longtime advocate for UFO disclosure, Maussan understandably used the alleged alien bodies as a springboard to call for the Mexican Congress to reveal the truth about the phenomenon. "The public has the right to know about non-human technology and beings," he argued, "this reality unites humanity rather than dividing us. We are not alone in this vast universe; we should embrace this truth." Despite the ufologist's continued championing of the mummified bodies as proof of a proverbial alien reality, mainstream scientists remain steadfast in their skepticism of the specimens.
