ANOTHER bizarre chapter on the “alien mummies” saga has unfolded after scientists claim they found 30 per cent of unknown DNA in the allegedly non-human bodies.

The mystery has taken over Mexico‘s congress for the past two months as self-claimed UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims that the tiny “UFOs” are proof of extraterrestrial life.

The mummified specimens, retrieved from a mine in Cuzco, Peru, have small bodies, three-fingered hands and odd elongated skulls.

In his most recent claim, Maussan brought in a team of researchers to run a DNA analysis on the corpses.

Scientists claim to have found that 30 per cent are “not from any known species” and that the figures were “authentic,” consisting of a single skeleton.

But the remaining 70 per cent has not yet been revealed.

Researchers had also previously claimed that the remains date back to more than 1,000 years ago, with one of them apparently having eggs inside.

“This is the first time extraterrestrial life has been presented in this manner,” Maussan told congressmen in Mexico.

“We have a clear example of non-human specimens unrelated to any known species on our planet. 

“The public has the right to know about non-human technology and beings.

“This reality unites humanity rather than dividing us.

“We are not alone in this vast universe; we should embrace this truth.”

The self-claimed UFO expert added that the two bodies have strong bones, no teeth, and implants composed of the soft, silvery-white metal cadmium and the bluish-white metal osmium, both of which are rare elements on Earth.

Maussan announced in September that 30 per cent of the DNA was unknown, but reports of an unknown species did not arise until now.

It comes after researchers verified the legitimacy of the three-fingered mummies as potential evidence of “non-human” life forms.

A line-up of doctors confirmed at Mexico’s Congress in November that the bodies, purportedly not of this Earth, were in fact real, once-living organisms.

The small-bodied figures were described as being a “new species” of “non-human being”, as they were without lungs or ribs.

Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of Ica Peru’s San Luis Gonzaga National University revealed researchers had come across five similar specimens over four years.

He told Reuters: “They’re real.

“There was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings.”

A letter signed by 11 researchers from Zuniga’s university declared all were in agreeance the bodies were real, but refused to certify they were “extraterrestrial”.

Journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan first brought the odd-looking “alien corpses” with three-fingered hands and elongated skulls to the attention of lawmakers in September.

He and others claimed at Mexico’s first-ever congressional hearing on UFOs that the bodies were “non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution”.

The bombshell claims have caused quite the stir between scientists, UFO conspiracy theorists, and politicians.

Mexican politician and Maussan’s friend, Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, said he believed the UFO hearing could lead to “legislation on unidentified aerial phenomena”.

“Mexico must put itself at the forefront and listen to all voices and all opinions,” he said.

“I have said it on many occasions, this is the house of the people – Chamber of Deputies. Here everyone is welcome.”

But former employee at the Ministry of Defence Nick Pope received the “discovery” of the alleged alien corpses with large amounts of disbelief.

He pointed out that if the UNAM did carry out such meticulous analysis, it would have been published in a peer-reviewed journal.

“I wish this discovery was true, but I am getting increasingly sceptical about this story,” Pope told The Sun Online.

“If I was the scientist behind this, I’d be sniffing a Nobel Prize and thinking about my place in history.

“I would be writing up a scientific paper and wanting to get it peer-reviewed and published in a prestigious journal.”

Astronomer Michael Garrett, a professor at the University of Manchester, shared similar views.

He told MailOnline: “If this was real, we’d see proper scientific data and evidence being presented by experts, published in papers that would be appearing in peer-reviewed journals like Nature or Science.  

“Other scientists would be scrutinising the data and forming their own independent analysis — that’s how science works.”

Pope added that Maussan’s timing was unfortunate as it could be a distraction and potentially pose a threat to “serious investigations” on UFOs, such as NASA’s groundbreaking UFO report.

He told The Sun Online: “I think there’s a danger that people will just lump all this together in their minds and say that all this -the Peruvian bodies and NASA’s report – was crazy stuff.

“The United States government is taking this subject very seriously.”

Ryan Graves, a former US Navy pilot who in July claimed the number of UFOs was being “grossly underreported”, attended the UFO hearing.

But he later said he was “deeply disappointed by this unsubstantiated stunt”.
