NASA’s recent briefing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) or UFOs took an unexpected turn when questions arose regarding two purportedly “non-human” corpses displayed in Mexico’s Congress. Here are the key points from this intriguing development.
NASA held a media briefing to reveal findings from a year-long, $100,000 study on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). The aim was to provide a scientific framework for understanding these phenomena.
During the briefing, questions were raised about two mummified specimens displayed in glass cases at Mexico’s Congress. These specimens were claimed to be “non-human” and were said to be around 1,000 years old. They were reportedly found in Cusco, Peru.
David Spergel, chair of the NASA UAP study, stated that he had only seen reports about the specimens on social media and did not possess detailed information about them. He emphasised the need for the Mexican government to make the samples available for global scientific scrutiny.
Dan Evans, an assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA, stressed the importance of moving away from conjecture and conspiracy theories and toward scientific investigation. He highlighted the role of data in achieving this shift.

Prominent UFO researcher Jaime Maussan testified during the Mexico City event, claiming that nearly one-third of the DNA in these specimens was “unknown” and did not fit into Earth’s evolutionary history. He mentioned that examinations, radiocarbon dating, and X-rays were conducted on the specimens.
Members of the Mexican Congress had mixed reactions to Maussan’s claims. Some expressed “thoughts” and “concerns” about the discovery, indicating a desire to continue discussions on the matter.
The event also featured Ryan Graves, a former U.S. Navy pilot who previously asserted that the number of UFOs or UAPs was being “grossly underreported.” His participation added to the intrigue surrounding the event.
It’s essential to approach such claims with caution and subject them to rigorous scientific scrutiny. While these findings have generated excitement in the UFO enthusiast community, scientific validation and peer review are critical steps in assessing their authenticity and significance.
