Doctors in Mexico have said the alleged ‘alien corpses’ recently shared with the world have ‘no relation to human beings’.
The 'remains’ were presented to Mexican congress last week by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan.
Mr Maussan, speaking under oath at the San Lazaro Legislative Congress, said: “These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution… These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom [algae] mines, and were later fossilised.
“This is the first time it [extraterrestrial life] is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world.”

He added: “The public has a right to know about non-human technology and non-human entities.
“We are talking about a topic that unites humanity, not separates us. We are not alone in this vast universe, we should embrace this reality.”
He said that they were about 1,000 years old, and claimed they had been analyzed by the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM), where scientists established an age by extracting DNA and using radiocarbon dating.

The two mummified corpses were displayed in windowed boxes, having been retrieved from Cusco in Peru.
Naturally, people didn’t take Maussan at his word and tests have since been conducted on the remains by experts at the Noor Clinic.
The results of the test were shared by Doctor José Zalce Benitez, the director of the Health Sciences Research Institute in the secretary of the Mexican navy’s office, who said that the so-called bodies belonged to single skeletons and had not been assembled.

He said the tests showed that ‘there is no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls’.
Benitez added: “I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings.”
He'd previously told Reuters: "Based on the DNA tests, which were compared with more than one million species ... they are not related to what is known or described up to this moment by science or by human knowledge.”
As yet it appears as though other independent testing has not been carried on the corpses.

Scientists, academics, and archaeologists have been largely skeptical about the remains - amongst them was physics professor Brian Cox, who said: “It’s very unlikely that an intelligent species that evolved on another planet would look like us.”
The truth is out there, folks.
