Mexico's Congress Saw Two Alleged Ancient 'Alien' Bodies—And The Internet Had A Field Day

UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan presented what he claimed were two alien corpses to Mexican lawmakers on Tuesday—but the internet has its doubts.

You may remember that earlier this year—as well as in 2020, during some of the scariest times of the pandemic, for that matter—we essentially got confirmation that aliens are real.

Except every other part of life is so unhinged that in both instances, no one could really muster up the energy to care much! This week, however, has been entirely different.


When Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan presented what he claimed are two alien corpses found in Peru to Mexican lawmakers, it immediately went viral on the internet—which decided to make Maussan's "alien mummy" the new meme.

Presenting the bodies, Maussan told the Mexican legislature they were found in the archaeologically rich Nazca area of Peru and that he is convinced they're real alien specimens.

“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 and that all possibilities are open for any scientific institution...to investigate it."
“We are not alone."

Maussan also claims the bodies are between 700 and 1800 years old and have been genetically tested and proven to not be human. Oh—he also claims their bodies were full of eggs. So there's that!

But Maussan has long been well known in Mexico for his obsession with UFOs and has frequently been discredited in the past. Which doesn't mean he's necessarily full of it, but...it at least means we should take this with a grain of salt.

Especially since very similar "alien bodies" were "discovered" in 2017—it's unclear if they're the same alien bodies Maussan showed this week or not, with some saying they are and others saying they were a previous, separate attempt.

But in any case, those definitely turned out to be fakes made from the remains of mummified children, and animal bones like llama skulls.

Several users on X, aka Twitter, pointed out that proper scientific protocol would have been to wait to present the bodies until they'd been studied by scientists and their findings published in a peer-reviewed scientific paper.

And if nothing else? Come on, the little dudes look pretty much EXACTLY like Steven Spielberg's E.T.

Little on the nose, you know?

Which is surely part of why, real or not, the "alien mummy" became an instant internet sensation.

The whole thing is too weird and ridiculous not to be hilarious—and boy did the internet have a field day yukking it up about the little guy!




You have to admit, he's pretty cute—sort of the new Baby Yoda of our day.

That's it, we're stanning. Alien Mummy 2024!

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
