- The remains of alleged non-human beings were presented this week at Mexico's first public congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena. Here's what you need to know.

The two grayish humanlike remains with elongated heads and three fingers on each hand were reportedly found fossilized in mines in Peru in 2017 by Mexican journalist and researcher Jaime Maussan. During the hearing, Maussan testified that non-human corpses were around 1,000 years old. He said, this is the first time this evidence 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.

Maussan claimed carbon dating analysis by the National Autonomous University of Mexico showed that more than 30% of the specimen's DNA was unknown, indicating that they are not part of our terrestrial evolution. However, according to USA Today, the wild claims were presented without third party evidence. And if Maussan's latest claims proved to be false, it wouldn't be the first time. What do you think?
