Snuffleupagus I had to remove the images in your post that were embedded from debunker.com, they were generating phishing warnings in Chrome for some reason, if you rehost them on imgur that would be good. Thanks.

Strange, nothing on 3 browsers on my side, all good though, if someone really wants them I'll rehost but they're easy to find from the link.

So Mexico Congress just had a UAP briefing a couple hours ago, and it was basically a "hold my beer" moment after the recent US Congress hearing that has the internet blowing up on it.

Lengthy UAP military sighting video, as well as alleged alien bodies, DNA sequencing and even "aliens" brought live in front of Congress.

It's not currently available anywhere in the news outside of some fringe channel, it's also very fresh. Links to the DNA sequencing was also made available.

Here is the unveiling moment in front of congress.

I was just watching a video about this. Waiting for something more mainstream to report on it though.

One thing that was weird is that it listed research facilities that were involved in studying the alleged alien bodies was Lakehead University, which is in Thunder Bay, Ontario. When I googled it, it turns out that they have in fact been involved in studying artifacts and mummies found in Mexico and South America.

These bodies were first reported in 2016/17 I think and were supposedly debunked as being constructed from various human and animal bones. As a result, I’m highly skeptical of these but at least they are making the DNA results available for independent review. I guess someone will look into it and we will find out for sure.

I'm highly, highly skeptical of this one. When this first broke years back, it was laughable how fake these looked.

So, I'm pretty confused that they rolled these out in such an official manner. Don't know what to think. My guess as % chance of this being the real deal is hovering somewhere around the 5% mark

From what I’ve read, this is basically an attempt at the US hearings, but driven by a people who have a history of orchestrating hoaxes for profit, so it’s a weird mashup of whatever the US thing was and a more blatant circus sideshow.

On a related note, Steven Speilberg's docuseries "Encounters" comes out on Netflix on the 27th - trailer was released yesterday!

Yeah, last night it was being framed as if this was some kind of official disclosure by the Mexican government. Looking into it more, it sounds like this was more of a presentation to the Mexican government by a journalist/Ufologist who has been pushing this story for years. Apparently in 2015, he presented an ancient alien body that turned out to be a human child. He was testifying under oath and all that, but I am not sure how much that really matters.

Is it strange that they also had this hearing so late in the day as well? It seems like something you would want on prime time.

Of note, former US navy pilot Ryan Graves was in attendance apparently.

Nice thing about this is there are bodies. Independent analysis and review will easily find the truth here.

It’s the right type of evidence to be evaluated. Ships and bodies.

I expect they will be found to be fake.

But these are not nonhuman beings. They are Nazca mummies, specifically “tridactyl Nazca humanoid mummies,” once presented as a great archeological discovery but since widely discredited by the international scientific community. It is suspected that these mummies were manipulated to give them a different appearance, and their authenticity has been rejected by important organizations such as the World Committee on Mummy Studies, which has described the discovery as a fraud, calling it “an irresponsible organized campaign of misinformation.”
