The so-called 'aliens' that were presented in Mexico this week may not be aliens after all.
Most people take UFO sightings and anything alien related with a pinch of salt, especially when it's coming from someone who doesn't work in the science industry. So, it was expected that people would question the validity of the two 'alien bodies' presented at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).

The two specimens were shown on Tuesday, 9 September, by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan and, under oath, he insisted that the bodies were not part of 'our terrestrial evolution'.
He said: “These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution.
“These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom (algae) mines, and were later fossilised.”
DNA tests reportedly discovered that 30 per cent of the 'aliens' make-up was 'unknown'.

The two bodies, one named Josephine, were first discovered in Peru in 2017, with one allegedly being 700 years old, while the other 1,800 years.
But questions have since been raised about the two specimens, with Julieta Fierro, researcher at the Institute of Astronomy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, saying that some of the details 'make no sense'.
Noting that the university doesn't back up the discovery, she told AP: "Maussan has done many things. He says he has talked to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

"He told me extraterrestrials do not talk to me like they talk to him because I don’t believe in them."
Fierro added that the university would need to do more tests than just an X-ray to determine if the beings were 'non-human'.
Now a video from 2021 has resurfaced online where the 'true' nature of the 'aliens' were revealed - and apparently they're actually made up of a mixture of human and animal bones.
In the documentary, Alexander Sokolov from the Scientists Against Myths YouTube vlog, put together a group of experts to examine the bone structure of the little aliens.

They described the bones as being 'completely mismatched', with Josephine's legs being from a tibia bone, with the other a femur.
It also pointed out that there was no joint point, meaning the 'humanoid' wouldn't have been able to walk whatsoever.
Elsewhere its suggested that the skull - actually a llama or alpaca's - that's been cut up and spun round.
"The whole facial part of the skull was broken off, leaving only the brain case," it was explained.

"The skull was then rotated so that the back part faces forward."
Sorry to break it to you folks, but it looks like it was a load of baloney after all.
