Mexico's Congress Saw Two Alleged Ancient 'Alien' Bodies—And The Internet Had A Field Day

UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan presented what he claimed were two alien corpses to Mexican lawmakers on Tuesday—but the internet has its doubts.

You may remember that earlier this year—as well as in 2020, during some of the scariest times of the pandemic, for that matter—we essentially got confirmation that aliens are real.

Except every other part of life is so unhinged that in both instances, no one could really muster up the energy to care much! This week, however, has been entirely different.


When Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan presented what he claimed are two alien corpses found in Peru to Mexican lawmakers, it immediately went viral on the internet—which decided to make Maussan's "alien mummy" the new meme.

Presenting the bodies, Maussan told the Mexican legislature they were found in the archaeologically rich Nazca area of Peru and that he is convinced they're real alien specimens.

“I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that all possibilities are open for any scientific institution...to investigate it."
“We are not alone."

Maussan also claims the bodies are between 700 and 1800 years old and have been genetically tested and proven to not be human. Oh—he also claims their bodies were full of eggs. So there's that!

But Maussan has long been well known in Mexico for his obsession with UFOs and has frequently been discredited in the past. Which doesn't mean he's necessarily full of it, but...it at least means we should take this with a grain of salt.

Especially since very similar "alien bodies" were "discovered" in 2017—it's unclear if they're the same alien bodies Maussan showed this week or not, with some saying they are and others saying they were a previous, separate attempt.

But in any case, those definitely turned out to be fakes made from the remains of mummified children, and animal bones like llama skulls.

Several users on X, aka Twitter, pointed out that proper scientific protocol would have been to wait to present the bodies until they'd been studied by scientists and their findings published in a peer-reviewed scientific paper.

And if nothing else? Come on, the little dudes look pretty much EXACTLY like Steven Spielberg's E.T.

Little on the nose, you know?

Which is surely part of why, real or not, the "alien mummy" became an instant internet sensation.

The whole thing is too weird and ridiculous not to be hilarious—and boy did the internet have a field day yukking it up about the little guy!




You have to admit, he's pretty cute—sort of the new Baby Yoda of our day.

That's it, we're stanning. Alien Mummy 2024!

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
