OPEN POST: This 100% Alien is the Archeology Find of the Millennium.

It seems as though Mexico's Congress has some extra time to tackle the real issues. Poverty? Cartels? No! They took time out on Wednesday to determine if two shriveled grey "corpses" were proof that UFOs exist and that they had been to Earth. 

Jaime Maussan, a self-proclaimed UFOist with a history of pseudoscience and showing false alien remains, should have been adequately vetted. It is called Google. You put his name in the search bar, and there you have enough information about Jaime for any reasonable person to declare that it could be the optics won't look so bueno to the world. "Let us skip it because this guy is muy loco." The fact that he is the Mexican Dr. Phil mixed with L. Ron Hubbard and a large dollop of  "survivor of a bad LSD trip" mashed together didn't raise alarms? Before 2007 (when the tabloid shut its doors), chico would have been the editor of Weekly World News. This is how outlandish this guy is, but this eluded them all? No congressman stepped back and said, "We need to focus on real problems?" For shame, Mexico. For shame. 

Instead, they watched Jaime Maussan, under oath, claim his specimens are proof of aliens' existence. He verbally vomited some sciencey sounding things that, if picked apart, were actually his abuelita's recipe for Menudo. He's done this before, too, in 2015 and also in 2017. Again, no one knew what Google was? And each time, his claims have been debunked. 

I can't for the life of me begin to understand my people sometimes. We love drama, and we love mysticism. Mexico is also where some of the popular telenovelas are filmed, so we love to have moments worthy of wonky closeups. I get all that, but Jaime and his carcasses are ridiculous and resemble props from a Sci-Fi B movie from the 1950s.

The verdict was swift: Nope, not an alien. (No way, Jose, really?)

However, this leaves us with a single question--WTF are those things?
