During the UAP meeting of the Mexican Congress, a journalist presented two "alien bodies," which has led scientists to blast and denounce the wild claims.
Two 'Alien Bodies' Presented During Mexican Congress UAP Meeting
The Mexican congress was conducting an unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), which is now a widely accepted term for UFOs. In the past two years, UAPs have become a common point of discussion in US congressional hearings.
Interestingly, during the recent hearing, a team presented two bodies that were less than 3.3 feet tall and had big heads and grayish skin before the congress. The bodies were kept inside coffin-like structures.
According to the team, which included military medical doctor José de Jesús Zalce Benítez and Mexican journalist Jaime Maussan, DNA tests on the bodies showed that they pointed to non-human three-fingered beings and that their abdomen held eggs that could be useful for reproduction. The pair also explained that the bodies were from Peru.
Radiocarbon dating further revealed that the bodies date back to 1,000 years ago.
The bodies were headline subjects back in 2017 to 2018. During this time, the bodies were denounced by scholars who claimed that the bodies consisted of human body parts that were manipulated. Maussan explains that, since then, further testing has revealed that the bodies do not have human origins. Maussan further stresses that this does not concretely imply that the bodies have alien origins and that it just means that the individuals were not human.
Complete Nonsense
Research reinforcement director Rafael Bojalil-Parra from Mexico City's Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAD) firmly claims that this is all complete nonsense, adding that the provided forum for the self-proclaimed UFO expert shows the anti-science practices that are prominent over the country.
While some reports indicated that tests were conducted at UAD, Bojalil-Parra said that there were no DNA tests conducted at the university. Moreover, though carbon-14 testing was performed in 2017, commercial agreements have stopped the university from revealing the findings.
However, if the bodies indeed had alien origins, this would mean that carbon-14 dating is useless. Assistant anthropology professor David Anderson explains that in order to radiocarbon date aliens, it would be necessary to first know the production rate of 14-C that was in their own host planet.
The claims have also been denounced by other scientists. Andrew Nelson, who chairs the anthropology department at Ontario's Western University, explains that the bodies have been debunked based on their anatomy and that there are studies that have revealed that some bodies are actually human mummies that have been manipulated in order to look alien.
Nelson adds that though Maussan claims to have C-14, C, and DNA evidence, the evidence has not been subjected to scientific peer review. He further explains that if these bodies are truly 1,000 years old and are from Peru, it would raise questions regarding the possibility of looting and how they were transported out of the country.
Archaeology professor Ken Feder from Central Connecticut State University explains that if the bodies were actually human, the people behind the atrocious claims would have to face certain legalities. Feder adds that they should be tried and arrested based on applicable laws regarding the desecrating or exploitation of human remains.
