In an unusual presentation this week, a pair of "non-human" corpses said to be at least 1,000 years old were displayed to Mexico's Congress, with suggestions the bodies could be from another planet.
The specimens were unveiled by self-proclaimed ufologist and journalist Jaime Maussan, in front of an audience of lawmakers and scientists on Tuesday. Maussan told the congressional session in Mexico City: "They are beings, non-humans who are not part of our terrestrial evolution and that after disappearing we do not [think] there is a subsequent evolution."
However, within hours of the presentation making headlines across the world, web sleuths began to claim evidence was immediately available showing the remains should not be taken seriously.
Multiple Reddit posts, posted on September 13, 2023, which received tens of thousands of upvotes, claimed the "ET corpses" presented for the Mexican Congress were debunked in 2021.
