<\/p>\nTHE bizarre saga that saw two "non-human" bodies unveiled by a so-called UFO expert in Mexico has taken yet another strange turn.<\/p>\n
Doctors in Mexico City used the high-tech resources to test the specimens as part of an investigation into their authenticity.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
X-ray tests and CT scans of the "alien bodies" completed today show they have not been manufactured or tampered with in any way.<\/p>\n
Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, the director of the naval institute that carried out the tests, said they show the bodies were not assembled or manipulated. <\/p>\n
He said: \u201c[They] belong to a single skeleton that has not been joined to other pieces," The Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n
The results are in direct conflict with earlier claims that they were artificially made using animal or human bones.<\/p>\n

Some academics and archaeologists have suggested the "bodies" are simply the ancient remains of mummified humans.<\/p>\n
It comes as self-proclaimed\u00a0extraterrestrial\u00a0boffin Jaime Maussan faces criminal charges for allegedly stealing them.<\/p>\n
Furious officials in\u00a0Peru\u00a0launched a criminal probe into the journalist and 'alien' pro after he brought his discovery in front of Congress.<\/p>\n
The 70-year-old presented the\u00a0two mummified specimens, retrieved from a mine in Cuzco,\u00a0Peru, at a hearing on UFOs in\u00a0Mexico\u00a0last week.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The corpses, which Maussan claims are over 1,000 years old, have small bodies, three-fingered hands and odd elongated skulls.<\/p>\n Maussan testified under oath that they "are not part of our terrestrial evolution" and have "non-human\u00a0DNA".<\/p>\n The 70-year-old made the bold claims, which have strongly divided opinion, alongside forensic scientists.<\/p>\n But experts, UFO\u00a0conspiracy theorists\u00a0and politicians have all\u00a0raised doubts over the authenticity\u00a0of the alleged 'alien' findings.<\/p>\n Peruvian officials have also launched a probe into how the specimens left the country and ended up in Maussan's possession.<\/p>\n Culture Minister Leslie Urteaga announced a\u00a0criminal\u00a0complaint has been filed, although the details of this remain unclear.<\/p>\n She described the corpses as pre-Hispanic objects and vowed to get to the bottom of how they were transported to Mexico City.<\/p>\n But Maussan insisted he has "done absolutely nothing illegal," although bizarrely said he could not answer how the two specimens arrived.<\/p>\n When quizzed on how he acquired them, he mysteriously said he would only disclose the information "at the appropriate time".<\/p>\n The alien buff has even given the pair – known as the Nazca mummies – names, Clara and Mauricio.<\/p>\n Maussan told the Mexican congress hearing: "These aren\u2019t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom (algae) mines, and were later fossilized."<\/p>\n The bodies were allegedly studied by scientists at the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM) who were able to draw DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating.<\/p>\n After comparisons were made with other DNA, it was allegedly found that over 30% of their genetic makeup is \u201cunknown".<\/p>\n Scans were also shown during the hearing, with claims that they showed one of the bodies was a female which had eggs inside.<\/p>\n Both also have implants made of very rare metals, such as Osmium, according to Maussan.<\/p>\n Representatives of Mexico's congress said the presentation had left them with "thoughts" and "concerns" and with the view to "continue talking about this".<\/p>\n Mexican politician and Maussan's friend, Sergio Guti\u00e9rrez Luna, said he believed the UFO hearing could lead to "legislation on unidentified aerial phenomena".<\/p>\n But former employee at the\u00a0Ministry of Defence\u00a0Nick Pope received the "discovery" of the alleged alien corpses with large amounts of disbelief.<\/p>\n He pointed out that if the UNAM did carry out such meticulous analysis, it would have been published in a peer-reviewed journal.<\/p>\n "I wish this discovery was true, but I am getting increasingly sceptical about this story," Pope told The Sun Online.<\/p>\n "If I was the scientist behind this, I'd be sniffing a Nobel Prize and thinking about my place in\u00a0history.<\/p>\n "I would be writing up a scientific paper and wanting to get it peer-reviewed and published in a prestigious journal."<\/p>\n 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\u00a0NASA's groundbreaking UFO report.<\/p>\n Ryan Graves, a former\u00a0US\u00a0Navy pilot who in July claimed the number of UFOs was being "grossly underreported", attended the UFO hearing in Mexico.<\/p>\n But he later said he was\u00a0"deeply disappointed by this unsubstantiated stunt".<\/p>\n Maussan has previously been linked to other "alien" discoveries – which were later debunked, such as five "bodies" found in Peru in 2017 that were later shown to be human.<\/p>\n He has also shared widely rubbished videos of UFOs, including one showing lights "flying" out of Popocatepetl.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/newspress-collage-24018105-1695121633992.jpg\")
