Maussan said the bodies, believed to have been found near Peru's ancient Nazca lines, were not related to any life on Earth. Image Credit: Reuters

2023-11-08T011031Z_1687194360_RC2G84ATTMMX_RTRMADP_3_MEXICO-UFO — At Tuesday's session, Maussan was more focused on proving the bodies, which were not on display this time, were not fake, ushering in a string of doctors who all said the bodies were those of real, once-living organisms. Still, he left room for questions about their origin. "None of the scientists say [the study results] prove that they are extraterrestrials, but I go further," he said, suggesting that they could be evidence of non-Earthly life forms.

2023-11-08T011034Z_493103822_RC2G84AVE3JZ_RTRMADP_3_MEXICO-UFO — Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica Peru said researchers had studied five similar specimens over four years. "They're real," Zuniga told Reuters on the sidelines of the session. "There was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings," he added, saying he didn't know the origin of the beings. Image Credit: Reuters

The bodies that he and the other university researchers looked at, however, were real, he said. Congressman Sergio Gutierrez, from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's ruling Morena party, called for a reform to Mexico's law to make all information about UFOs public. Image Credit: Reuters

Mexico_UFOs_70003--d095d — Tuesday's session, at times, dipped into a more extreme explanation. Argentine surgeon Celestino Adolfo Piotto said he believed, after reviewing test results and images of the bodies, they were an evolved version of today's human beings, calling them "our descendants".
