I spotted the video on Twitter earlier this morning. Is it really "the Mexican government" or just made to appear that way?
- vlod 3y agoI was hoping someone here would know more details.
- dragonwriter 3y agoI mean, there's lots of news articles that cover the basic points: Jaime Maussan, a private self-proclaimed UFO expert who has committed previous UFO/alien hoaxes, including trying to pass of a body of a human child with deformities as an alien corpse, presented the corpse and various claims about it to the Mexican Congress.
- vlod 3y agoSure, but I would like the think that the Mexican Congress would realize this (and did due diligence) and vetted everything before doing this song-and-dance number. There is a slide with companies/universities that did the work. I would like to also think that they would vet those findings as well. However, agreed it sounds somewhat fishy. Maybe I have too much faith in due process of governments. :)
- h2odragon 3y agoMy understanding (perhaps in error) is that some private party has brought these to display before the Mexican Congress as part of their hearings on UFOs. I read an allegation in an earlier story that the person who owns these and brought them to this show has been previously convicted of fraud involving faked mummies made from relatively fresh corpses of children. NFI on veracity of that either.
- vlod 3y agoAround the 8.05 mark in the link I posted, there were some universities. However I don't speak Spanish. I assume they were involved somehow?
- jaclaz 3y agoTry googling for "Jaime Maussan hoax" to get an impression on the reliability of his past claims.
- dragonwriter 3y ago“Serial UFO fraudster at it again, this time before Mexican Congress” is a less impressive headline, but it seems to be what is happenibg here once you get past the clickbait.
