Scientists give their verdict on ‘extraterrestrial bodies’ displayed in Mexico ("makes no sense," "lacking in proof," "unsubstantiated stunt")

Supposed aliens found in Mexico “make no sense”, a scientist has said, and are lacking in proof.

This week, strange looking, humanoid bodies were presented in Mexico’s Congress. They were claimed to be extraterrestrial, and immediately kicked off internet excitement that the first ever alien remains had been found.

But scientists have been quick to point out that there is no good evidence that the remains are real – and that they might not be bodies at all. Even others who had taken part in the same hearings criticised the reveal as an “unsubstantiated stunt”.

At the Congress hearings, Mexican journalist José Jaime Maussan presented two boxes with supposed mummies found in Peru, which he and others consider “non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution.”

The shrivelled bodies with shrunken, warped heads left those in the chamber aghast and quickly kicked up a social media fervour.

...

On Wednesday, Julieta Fierro, researcher at the Institute of Astronomy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, was among those to express skepticism, saying that many details about the figures “made no sense.”

Fierro added that the researchers’ claims that her university endorsed their supposed discovery were false, and noted that scientists would need more advanced technology than the X-rays they claimed to use to determine if the allegedly calcified bodies were “non-human”.“

“Maussan has done many things. He says he has talked to the Virgin of Guadalupe,” she said. “He told me extraterrestrials do not talk to me like they talk to him because I don’t believe in them.”

The scientist added that it seemed strange that they extracted what would surely be a “treasure of the nation” from Peru without inviting the Peruvian ambassador.

I saw better-looking aliens in a Coney Island amusement park.

Watch out everybody. Freeper Larrytown wants you know that he is a very smart person and purveyor of "butthurt" accusations.

You must keep up!!!

As I said on another thread, these look like rather typical examples of Peruvian pre-Columbian art.

Lol!

What’s next, preemptive cut-n-paste posts regarding FR posting policies?

Still waiting for Bigfoot stories to start up - we’ve had most of the other standard distraction tropes.

Yep. Looks like it didn’t make it back home after all...but instead fell into a cement mixer.

One article showed skull MRIs that appeared to match the body type. But impossible to know if they were actually from the same body, or if tampered with.

Skepticism is good but closed-minded denial gets in the way of objective inquiry.

Reminds me of “expert” denial over Catholics relics, even in the face of corroborating scientific evidence.

Well, why not? You wander from thread to thread insulting people in a vain effort to prove your intellect. You're just the kind of person Jim had in mind when he wrote those rules.

BTW, did you know that the way you treat people on anonymous forums says a huge amount about your character (or lack thereof)?

But just keep it Larry.

Signed, Forrest Butthurt.

Are you distracted by Bigfoot stories too?

I think the guy is a nut but that doesn't a priori refute any evidence he might present.

We’ll know for sure when those bodies cross the Rio Grande and are welcomed with open arms...

Maussan supposedly presented his “bodies” to the Peruvians in 2017 and his viewpoints were rejected then.
He is quoted as saying that the DNA tests, when done, will show if they are non human or not. That is a joke. First of all, another living thing from earth will have different DNA from humans. E.G...number base pairs, number of chromosomes, different sequences of base pairs, etc... If Maussan was a great master con artist, he would have gotten polyploid DNA from a plant and added some more animal DNA., Made many cloned copies of such..inserted it into a different animal cell line and planted those cells in the “bodies”....and let the scientists find it and chew on that for awhile. At first glance...looks almost like a paper e.t.pinata...certainly bad form to present “under glass” to a body of lawmakers before getting his find vetted by some hardboiled anatomists, geneticists, physiologists, botanists, and so on. Still...he can be heard...but his claims and “bodies” must be carefully examined, but repudiated harshly if found to be manufactured.

There are no aliens in Mexico because that is where they are from.

The Mexican aliens are over here.

Semantics.
