Here's to hoping you weren't bored by alien conspiracies and random audiences in Congress on the topic of UFOs because the teeny-tiny desiccated aliens that became viral stars in September are back for round two. And they bring proof that they're not fake, too!
In mid-September 2023, during a public hearing in the Congress of Mexico on the topic of UFOs (UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, as they're called today) meant to discuss a proposed law that would unseal classified documents on such sightings, the aliens themselves made a surprise appearance.
Known ufologist and conspirationist Jaime Maussan brought forth two glass cases containing the minuscule bodies of beings he claimed were non-human and quite possibly extraterrestrial.
Clara and Mauricio, as Maussan named them, had been discovered in 2017 in the algae mines of Nazca in Peru, and they stood as proof that we were not alone in the universe. Among countless shocking claims, Maussan said that the aliens had lived on Earth before their death and that the female was pregnant since eggs had popped up on the X-ray of her belly.
Maussan estimated that both mummies were at least 1,000 years old and claimed that researchers from various universities and organizations had already conducted tests on them to confirm that they were real and non-human. He's since backed up that claim with even more scans and tests, though from what we can tell, he's yet to offer the community free access to the bodies or, for that matter, made data public so that it can be peer-reviewed.

The other day, Maussan was back in front of the Mexican Congress for another hearing on the same topic. He left Clara and Mauricio in the lab, but he did bring with him an anthropologist and a letter signed by researchers from the San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, confirming that the remains were non-human.
The letter clearly stated that this didn't mean that the bodies were extraterrestrial. That didn't stop Maussan from claiming it in Congress, stressing that their hybrid DNA is proof of aliens having been on Earth among us. The letter looped in the two tiny bodies and at least a couple more revealed to the public in the previous years, some of which have already been disproved as real.
Before you roll out the welcoming mat you've been saving for special alien encounters, it's perhaps best to keep your cool for a while longer. Despite Maussan's intention to make the latest development into new evidence confirming alien life, it's exactly the kind of "confirmation" he delivered in September.
Scans and tests revealing hybrid DNA don't mean the bodies came from outer space, and they're not guaranteed to silence critics, including researchers, who have previously stated that the bodies are mummified human remains with animal parts, glued and held together with synthetic skin. The same goes for Maussan's insistence that there are no visible bolts or inner, man-made support structures to the bodies, which would obviously not exist if they were glued together.
The bottom line is that the huge saga of the tiny alien mummies is far from over. Grab the popcorn.
En estos momentos se ha hecho del conocimiento del mundo la resolución por parte del Rector y Catedráticos de la Universidad Nacional de ICA del Perú; que las evidencias biológicas de Nasca presentadas son seres no humanos de origen desconocido.#AudienciaUAP ???????? pic.twitter.com/q0R2lO0kRu
