Peru has launched a criminal investigation to find out how alleged “non-human alien corpses” were taken out of the country to be displayed at the Mexican congress last week, causing a sensation among UFO conspiracy theorists.
Peruvian Culture Minister Leslie Urteaga has questioned how the bodies with human features, which she said were pre-Hispanic objects, left the country — and said a criminal complaint has been filed.
Controversial Mexican journalist and UFO buff Jaime Maussan claimed that the pair of humanoid “corpses” were found in 2017 in Cusco, Peru, near the pre-Columbian Nazca Lines.
Mexican doctors who have examined the two bodies, which feature elongated heads and three fingers on each hand, claimed they have found “no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls” — but other scientists have panned the discovery as an elaborate stunt.
Maussan, 70, who touted the purported extraterrestrials as “the most important thing that has happened to humanity,” has denied any wrongdoing.
“I’m not worried. I have done absolutely nothing illegal,” Maussan said in reference to the Peruvian probe.
How the so-called alien corpses arrived in Mexico is a question that he said he cannot answer.
Borrowed by Maussan for last week’s congressional hearing, they were in the possession of another man, who was in Maussan’s Mexico City office Friday and who declined to be identified.
When asked how the hominids — whom he dubbed Clara and Mauricio — came to be in his possession, the unidentified Mexican man cryptically replied that he would reveal all “at the appropriate time.”
An examination of the two specimens was conducted Monday at the Noor Clinic in Mexico and was livestreamed on Maussan’s YouTube channel.
