Two \u201caliens\u201d shown before Mexico\u2019s congress by a self-proclaimed ufologist have been tested by doctors who claim they are “one skeleton” and “not assembled” as doubters have suggested.<\/p>\n
Last week, the country\u2019s lawmakers heard testimony suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist. Now two small skeletons, some two feet high, have been X-rayed by a Mexican navy forensic specialist.<\/p>\n
Self-proclaimed UFO expert and journalist Jaime Maussan had previously presented the “aliens” to politicians in large wooden coffins claiming that the bodies found in Peru were \u201cnon-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution\u201d.<\/p>\n
Doctors at a laboratory in Mexico City carried out X-rays and CT scans of the bodies on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Forensic doctor Jos\u00e9 de Jes\u00fas Zalce Benitez, the director of the Health Sciences Research Institute of the Secretary of the Navy, which carried out the tests, said that they showed the bodies had not been assembled or manipulated.<\/p>\n

The subjects look tiny when held up by the doctors examining for the watching journalists.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, Julieta Fierro, researcher at the Institute of Astronomy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, was among those to express skepticism, saying that many details about the figures “made no sense”.<\/p>\n Fierro added that the researchers’ claims that her university endorsed their supposed discovery were false, and noted that scientists would need more advanced technology than the X-rays they claimed to use to determine if the allegedly calcified bodies were \u201cnon-human\u201d.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cMaussan has done many things. He says he has talked to the Virgin of Guadalupe. He told me extraterrestrials do not talk to me like they talk to him because I don\u2019t believe in them.\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The area is known for gigantic enigmatic figures scraped into the earth and seen only from a birds-eye-view. Most attribute the Nazca Lines to ancient indigenous communities, but the formations have captured the imaginations of many.<\/p>\n In 2017, Maussan made similar claims in Peru, and a report by the country’s prosecutor’s office found that the bodies were actually \u201crecently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin”.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/78\/590x\/secondary\/4967590.jpg?r=1695143173826\")
