'Alien' bodies are complete skeletons, scientists say

Christian Fernsby |
Two “aliens” that were presented to Mexico’s congress by an ufologist were tested by doctors on Tuesday.

The small skeletons, some 2ft in length, prompted a bizarre break in proceedings last week as Jaime Maussan presented them to lawmakers in large wooden caskets.

Maussan claims that the bodies were found in Peru and are “non human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution”.

However, scientists and academics have dismissed the discoveries as yet another stunt by Mr Maussan in his quest to prove the existence of aliens.

Doctors at a laboratory in Mexico City carried out X-rays and CT scans of the bodies on Tuesday.

José de Jesús Zalce Benitez, the director of the Health Sciences Research Institute of the Secretary of the Navy, which carried out the tests, said that they showed the bodies had not been assembled or manipulated.

That contradicted earlier suggestions that the bodies had been assembled with animal or human bones, though is unlikely to assuage Maussan’s critics because of his relationship with Benitez.

The pair appeared alongside each other at the Mexican congress to give evidence of their discoveries.
