Suspected ‘non-human’ bodies displayed at UFO hearing in Mexico
Jaime Maussan, a journalist and UFO enthusiast, presented two frail humanlike “bodies” that he said had been found underground in Nazca, Peru in 2017.
He told the country’s first congressional hearing into UFOs that an analysis by the National Autonomous University of Mexico concluded the remains were about 1,000 years old.
His claims have been greeted with widespread scepticism, including on China’s Zhihu, a platform similar to Quora.
In response to questions from the public, the CASC’s official account – which primarily shares educational content – replied: “As of now, in our space activities we have not found any conclusive evidence of the existence of aliens.”
Other users on the platform expressed doubts about the bodies presented to the Mexican lawmakers, suggesting they were fakes that had been designed to look like a stereotypical alien.
