Nazca Aliens
Origin
Jaime Maussan, a self-proclaimed UFO expert, presented two specimens to the Mexican Congress, which he claimed were the remains of “non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution”. The specimens, which were allegedly found near the Nazca Lines in Peru, were shown to the Congress as evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, has studied five similar specimens over four years. Zuniga presented a letter signed by 11 researchers from the university declaring that the specimens were “completely authentic from a biological point of view and show no signs of having been tampered with or artificially assembled”. However, Zuniga added that he did not know the origin of the beings and that the researchers were not implying that the bodies were “extraterrestrial”.
Evidence
DNA/Carbon-14 Daiting
At the Mexican Congressional UAP hearing evidence was provided supporting the idea that the bodies found in Nazca Peru, were dated to be between 700-1500 years old, using carbon-14 dating techniques. Furthermore, scientists at San Luis Gonzaga National University of Ica, concluded that the DNA from the bodies shared 30% DNA with humans. The rest of the DNA was connected with apes in the Congo, with 40% of the DNA being unidentified.
Metallurgical Evidence
A metallurgical analysis of a metallic implant revealed that it is composed of an alloy of various metals, with osmium being the predominant element. Osmium is an element that was officially discovered by Smithson Tennant and William Hyde Wollaston in 1803 and is the rarest metal on Earth. It is noteworthy that owing to its electrical properties, osmium is used in manufacturing some electronic devices and in producing sensors, such as sensors on satelites. Additionally, the microscopic study through optical metallography has revealed the existence of a matrix of microstructures with microporosities and microinclusions in the implant.
Controversy
Mutilated Bodies
Maussan claimed that specimens uncovered in Nazca, Peru, with elongated skulls and three fingers on each hand, were evidence of aliens. However, archaeologists said some of the bodies may have been Indigenous Peruvians, mutilated to look extraterrestrial.
Not Officially Recognized
While Mexico’s Congress was presented with testimony claiming that aliens were real, there was no official government confirmation at the hearing or since.
Specimen Legitimacy
A report from Peru’s prosecutor’s office declared the specimens were "recently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin"
