UFOs, little green men: Mexican lawmakers hear testimony on possible existence of extraterrestrials

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Supposed aliens landed at the Mexican Congress, but there were no saucer-shaped UFOs hovering over the historic building or bright green invaders like those seen in Hollywood movies.

The specter of little green men invaded Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony Tuesday from individuals suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials could exist. The researchers came from Mexico, the United States, Japan and Brazil.

The session, unprecedented in the Mexican Congress, came two months after a similar session before the US Congress in which a former US Air Force intelligence officer claimed that his country was likely aware of activities ” non-human” since the 1930s.

Journalist José Jaime Maussan presented two boxes containing supposed mummies found in Peru, which he and others consider “non-human beings that are not part of our earthly evolution.”

The shriveled bodies with shrunken and deformed heads left those in the room aghast and quickly sparked fervor on social media.

“It’s the queen of all proofs,” says Maussan. “In other words, if the DNA shows us that they are not human beings and there is nothing like that in the world, we should consider it as such. »

But he cautioned that he didn’t want to call them “aliens” just yet.

The apparently desiccated bodies date back to 2017 and were found deep underground in Peru’s sandy coastal Nazca desert. The region is known for its gigantic, enigmatic figures engraved in the earth and visible only from a bird’s eye view. Most attribute the Nazca Lines to ancient indigenous communities, but the formations have captured the imagination of many.

Deputy Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, of the ruling Morena party, made it clear that Congress had not taken a position on the theses put forward during this session of more than three hours.

To believe or not was up to each member of the legislature, but those who testified had to take an oath to tell the truth.

Gutiérrez Luna stressed the importance of listening to “all voices, all opinions” and said it was positive that there was a transparent dialogue on the issue of extraterrestrials.

In the United States in July, retired Maj. David Grusch claimed that the United States was hiding a long-running program that scavenged and reverse engineered. unidentified flying objects. The Pentagon has denied his claims.

Grusch’s much-anticipated testimony before a House oversight subcommittee was for the U.S. Congress. latest foray into the world of UAPs – or “unidentified aerial phenomena”, which is the official term used by the US government in place of UFOs.

In recent years, Democrats and Republicans have pushed for more research on national security grounds, fearing that sightings observed by pilots could be linked to U.S. adversaries.
