Aliens In Mexico? Not So Fast—Presenters Have History Of Being Debunked
Jaime Maussan—a self-proclaimed ufologist and journalist whose coverage on aliens was once debunked—presented two fossilized bodies of what he claimed were “non-human” corpses to Mexican Congress on Tuesday, claiming researchers could prove with DNA testing the bodies were not of Earth, to the fascination of social media.
Maussan has worked as a journalist for more than 50 years. The 2017 video report he participated in, which showed alleged non-human remains later debunked as a mummified child’s corpse, was published by Gaia.com. The website charges $99 a year for videos on paranormal and supernatural subjects, including alien abductions. The website belongs to alternative video platform Gaia Inc.—a publicly traded company with a $52 million market cap. The bodies in the video report from Gaia are much larger than those presented to Mexican Congress on Tuesday, though all the bodies share some similarities, including three-finger hands and elongated heads. In 2010, Maussan hosted his own TV show, and by 2019 was the subject of a movie titled Maussan's UFO Files,” a one-hour documentary film that covered his pursuit of “the most controversial UFO events” in Mexican history. Maussan also has a YouTube channel, Maussan TV, with nearly 1 million subscribers.
