Pilots and researchers are often labeled ‘conspiracy theorists’ every time they talk about aliens, but the Mexican government decided to listen and for the first time heard about this issue.

Mexico is serious about “aliens”

In the Senate, Mexican lawmakers examined two mummies, watched a video, and listened to a presentation by journalist Jaime Maussan.

Mr. Maussan is a writer who rose to prominence through information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as things that he asserted belonged to aliens, not to humanity.

This time, he introduced two strange-looking “bodies”. These two bodies have many similarities to humans, with heads and limbs. However, they are much smaller than humans, each hand has only 3 fingers, and the head is longer than humans.

According to Mr. Maussan, these “bodies” were excavated in Peru, near the Nazca plateau in 2017. Nazca is a famous archaeological site and suspected of aliens.

Citing the results of carbon analysis, Mr. Maussan affirmed that the newly found mummies are about 1,000 years old, and are things that “do not belong to humans during our evolution”.

“This is the biggest evidence. It means that if DNA shows us that they are not human, and unlike anything in this world, then we have to accept the truth,” Mr. Maussan declared.

Being ridiculed and despised for mentioning UFOs and aliens

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) plans to discuss these new findings and conclusions on September 14, according to Reuters.

But whatever the outcome of NASA’s assessment or the nature of the statement made by Mr. Maussan, this story is reflecting a larger change than curiosity for a specific event.

In fact, “aliens” in recent decades are increasingly considered gossip. A series of conspiracy theories have been debunked, and this puts great pressure on independent researchers as well as projects on alien creatures or UFOs.

Mr. Maussan himself could not avoid sarcasm when pursuing this topic. The Western press reviewed Mr. Maussan’s “discovery of aliens” in 2015, which was later “debunked” by some opinions.

Mr. Maussan, who has been a journalist for 50 years, was also described by the mainstream press as “a sports reporter turned UFO expert.” This description is similar to a rhetorical move, discrediting the subject being mentioned.

In fact, the findings of Mr. Maussan and his colleagues were once commented that “there is no evidence to prove”. The review group (including anthropologists) also explained that the mummies’ long skulls could be the result of past religious customs and rituals. Obviously, the review group itself is not based on any scientific evidence.

Mexico: new chapter for “aliens”?

In fact, although the mainstream press and fake news checking sites try to refute conspiracy theories about UFOs and aliens, the indisputable truth is that NASA and the US Department of Defense have been involved in recent years. continues to face pressure for information transparency, and to be exact, NASA has established an independent UFO research council for the first time in history.

Mexico is not the first country to take UFOs and aliens seriously, beyond a political perspective.

This hearing was inspired by the US Congress holding a similar hearing in July, when retired general David Grusch asserted that Washington had hidden a UFO program.

The Pentagon then rejected Mr. Grusch’s claims, although the US has now had to change the name of UFOs to UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), stemming from the discovery of too many difficult-to-explain phenomena.

Changing the name UFO in the official document is also an effort to relieve pressure and stigma for those researching this topic.

In Mexico, lawmakers also listened to information from Mr. Ryan Graves, a former US Navy pilot. Mr. Graves once testified in the US, recounting his personal experiences of UAP detections, as well as the discrimination surrounding his findings.

Mexican Congressman Sergio Gutiérrez Luna affirmed that Congress did not take a stance on aliens. He emphasized the importance of listening to all opinions and voices, and affirmed that such transparent dialogue is a positive thing.

Both the believers and non-believers in UFOs have insufficient evidence, and people know too little about the world around them. In that context, whether right or wrong, the biggest and most positive change ahead is transparency.
