Why it matters: The journalist and UFO researcher, Jaime Maussan, presented two alleged alien corpses from an archaeological excavation in Peru to Mexico’s national congress. The presentation comes amidst a growing interest in UFO sightings and government inquiries into the phenomenon.
What they are saying: Maussan claimed that the corpses are not part of terrestrial evolution and were found fossilized in diatom mines. He stated that DNA analysis revealed over 30% of the DNA to be of unknown origin. Former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves, who testified about UFOs before the U.S. House of Representatives, called Maussan’s claims unsubstantiated and criticized the stunt.
The big picture: The presentation of the alleged alien corpses is part of a trend of increased government interest in UFO sightings. The United States Pentagon opened an office to investigate reports of aerial phenomenon, and 171 such reports were received in 2022. The legitimacy of Maussan’s claims remains in question, but the interest in UFOs continues to grow.
What to watch: It will be interesting to see if further investigations are conducted into Maussan’s findings and whether other countries will increase their study of UFO sightings. The public’s perception of UFOs and extraterrestrial life may be influenced by the outcome of these investigations.
My take: While there are doubts about the authenticity of the alleged alien corpses, the growing interest in UFOs and government inquiries into the phenomenon suggest that there is a genuine curiosity about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The presentation of the corpses may have sparked further discussions and investigations, which could potentially lead to new discoveries or explanations. It is important to approach these claims with skepticism, but also to remain open-minded to the possibility of new knowledge and understandings.
