Dolls seized by authorities are displayed during a press conference to explain what they are made of at the Archeology Museum in Lima, Peru. A report by the Peruvian prosecutor's office that year found that alleged alien bodies were "recently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin." They said examinations showed the bones of birds, dogs, and other animals were used to create the dolls.

Journalist José Jaime Maussan again testified extraterrestrials were real to Mexico's congress. The trial is the second concerning UFOs or extraterrestrials to happen in Mexico's congress. The bodies were not publicly unveiled at the time, so it is unclear if they are the same as those presented to Mexico's congress. One anthropologist, Roger Zuniga, told Reuters he didn't know the origin of the beings. "They're real," Zuniga told the outlet.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The lower chamber of Mexico’s congress once again turned to spectacle Tuesday, devoting hours of its time to a controversial character who pressed the case for “non-human beings” he said were found in Peru. Less than three weeks after Category 5 Hurricane Otis devastated Acapulco, a port of nearly 1 million people, the Chamber of Deputies spent more than three hours listening to journalist José Jaime Maussan and his group of Peruvian doctors. Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers became the subject of international ridicule in September when he presented two boxes with supposed mummies found in Peru. Political Cartoons View All 1237 ImagesOn Tuesday, Dr. Daniel Mendoza showed photographs and x-rays of what he said was a “non-human being.” Maussan said it was a “new species” as it did not have lungs or ribs. Lawmaker Sergio Gutiérrez Luna, from the governing party of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said “all ideas and all proposals will always be welcome to debate them, hear them to agree with or not.”

They have the same physical appearance, they are the same," Maussan said of Victoria and the two bodies he presented in Mexico.

Mexican journalist and long-time UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan showed politicians at the hearing on Tuesday two tiny "bodies" displayed in cases, with three fingers on each hand and elongated heads. He claimed they were found in Peru in 2017 and were not related to any life on Earth. The images from the congressional hearing, the first of its kind in Mexico, sparked international curiosity as well as substantial scorn. Maussan, speaking to Reuters on Thursday, said his critics had yet to present evidence to counter his claims. "If you have something strange, make samples available to the world's scientific community, and we'll see what's there," he said.
