In a public hearing that has piqued the interest of UFO enthusiasts and sceptics alike, a Mexican journalist known for his UFO research presented two intriguing specimens at the Mexican Congress. Said to be discovered in Cusco, Peru, these specimens have undergone studies at the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM), sparking questions about their unidentified DNA components.
Jaime Maussan, who had in the past been involved in questionable claims that were later debunked, introduced these specimens in enclosed glass cases to the public. According to scientists from UNAM, a substantial portion of the DNA derived from these specimens cannot be categorised. Reportedly, more than 30% of the DNA had no known parallels, after performing radiocarbon dating and comparing it to existing samples.
“They are non-human beings. We don’t want to call them extraterrestrials because we don’t know,” AFP quoted Maussan as saying.
The hearing wasn’t limited to the display of the specimens; a myriad of videos documenting unidentified aerial phenomena were also presented. Mexican and US government officials were among the attendees, including Ryan Graves, Executive Director of Americans for Safe Aerospace and a former US Navy pilot. Graves, earlier this year, apprised the US Congress of the national security implications posed by unidentified flying objects.
“These specimen are not part of our terrestrial evolution… These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom (algae) mines, and were later fossilised,” The Independent quoted Maussan as saying.
Though the allegations remain unproven and Maussan’s past record of discredited discoveries casts a shadow, this recent event has undeniably stirred conversations among the scientific community and government circles. It has also reignited excitement among UFO conspiracy theorists who follow Maussan’s work closely.
