Imagine: the press room of the Mexican Congress, flags in the background, serious faces of politicians. And then, right in the middle of the spotlight, two boxes containing supposed evidence of the existence of aliens. A scenario like something out of a Hollywood film? Not even close! That's exactly what happened in Mexico last week.

The mystery of the alien corpses
The podium of the Mexican Congress witnessed a revelation that caused heated discussions and headlines. Two boxes were opened, and what was inside amazed and shocked the audience in equal measure: two corpses that, according to ufologist Jaime Maussan Flota, were supposed to be proof of the existence of aliens, of extraterrestrial life.
Jaime Maussan: The man behind the headlines
Jaime Maussan, who presented this extraordinary “evidence”, is not a gray mouse in the UFO scene. He began his career as a journalist, but it was his stories and theories about unidentified flying objects that eventually secured him a permanent place in the spotlight on Mexican television. His talent for captivating audiences is undisputed, but what about the credibility of his claims?
Stories from the past: show or truth?
Maussan's history is paved with controversial presentations. A particularly prominent example is his appearance in 2015, when he presented photos of supposed alien remains from the famous Roswell Incident. The headlines were big, and so was the controversy. But when the dust settled, it became clear that the supposed "alien" body was the mummy of an indigenous child from the 19th century . A serious blow to his credibility, but Maussan stuck to his guns and continued to search for evidence of the unknown.
Why a Harvard professor becomes part of the mystery
When a renowned Harvard professor intervenes in the debate about aliens, which is often perceived as eccentric and fringe, many people sit up and take notice. Avi Loeb is no stranger to science. He has drawn attention in the past with his bold thesis that an interstellar asteroid called 'Oumuamua' could actually be a passing alien spacecraft. A claim that made waves not only in the UFO community but also in science.
Scientific legitimacy or just another point in the show?
The participation of such a renowned scientist as Avi Loeb in the debate could be seen by some as an attempt to give Maussan's claims more scientific credibility. But does the presence of a renowned professor really mean we should take these stories more seriously? Or is it just a clever move by Maussan to make the spectacle even more exciting?
The truth is in the details: a call for skepticism
It is fascinating to live in a world where we are surrounded by experts, video recordings and vivid testimonies that seem to prove the inexplicable. In such surroundings, it's tempting to get caught up in the enthralling atmosphere. But history has shown that one should always remain skeptical, especially in the world of ufology. When Maussan's final "evidence" turned out to be a tragic misunderstanding, the importance of carefully examining claims and not jumping to conclusions became clear once again.
The fine line between science and speculation
In the constant search for answers to the universe's big questions - whether we are alone, whether there are other life forms - it is essential to remain vigilant and critical. While the participation of a scholarly authority like Avi Loeb certainly raises awareness, it should not stop us from carefully examining all the evidence and forming our own opinions.
Conclusion
The debate about the existence of extraterrestrials will certainly not be over for a long time. However, events like these show how important it is to remain skeptical, to inform yourself and to separate fact from fiction.
