'Non-human' bodies in Mexico's Congress

On the record
Strength C · 5/10 · 3 independent
Evidence 2/4 · Witnesses 2/3 · Backing 1/3

The bodies were shown in an official congressional session, but the non-human claim rests on Maussan's team's own tests with no independent confirmation.

Plausibility Very low
Score 2 · 5 factors for, 3 against

The bodies were shown in an official congressional session, but the non-human claim rests on Maussan's own team; he previously promoted the 2015 Roswell slides, later shown to be a mummified child. The controller recordings in the same hearings are stronger than the bodies.

Evidenceofficial records

At a hearing in Mexico's Chamber of Deputies, journalist Jaime Maussan presented two small mummified bodies with three-fingered hands, which he said were found in Peru near Nazca. Ryan Graves also spoke at the session about U.S. pilot sightings. Researchers working with Maussan say scans and DNA tests show anatomy unlike any known species.

On the record

  • The official session of Mexico's Congress on UAP.Carlos de los Santos: the mayday over Ajusco
  • A second hearing on 7 Nov 2023 heard air traffic controller Jesús Ángel Guevara Madrigal play three 2023 pilot–controller recordings; controller Enrique Kolbeck and pilot Julio Darwish also testified.
  • Dep. Gutiérrez Luna's initiative of 14 Nov 2023 would have barred classifying any UAP information; it lapsed on 30 Aug 2024.
