The specter of UFOs and little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony from researchers suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist.

Supposed aliens landed in Mexico’s Congress but there were no saucer-shaped UFOs hovering over the historic building or bright green invaders like those seen in Hollywood films.

The specter of little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony Tuesday from individuals suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist. The researchers hailed from Mexico, the United States, Japan and Brazil.

The session, unprecedented in the Mexican Congress, took place two months after a similar one before the U.S. Congress in which a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer claimed his country has probably been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.

    Let me try to explain this as someone that lives in Mexico, Jaime Maussan is like a cheap version of Fox Mulder or that “Aliens” meme guy from history channel. Bigfoot, loch Ness, martians, etc you name it.

    Nothing new for us but he must be thrilled that someone from outside Mexico pays attention to him.

      And he already tried this couple years back with a mummy with 3 fingers and DNA showed it was a human child. I wouldn’t hold my breath for these to be anything different.

      Alguien recuerda cuando salió en Otro Royo hace como 20 años con un disque brazalete tele transportador o intergaláctico o una mamada así?

      Translation for those who ain’t Mexican or can’t speak spanish: does anyone remember when he appeared on that popular TV show like 20 years ago claiming he had a teleporting bracelet or an intergalactic travel device or some bullshit like that?

      I saw this article many years ago, the author argued that conspiracy theories show a timedelay in passing because of languages. Some conspiracy pops up in say France and it takes three years to meet the person who: speaks French and Spanish, believes it, is a hyperspreader, and is willing to take the effort into translation. Now the conspiracy meme is moving around in Spainish where it will remain until about three years later when it encounters the Spainish speaking person equivalent who moves it into English.

      I wish I had saved the article because the author wasn’t just speculating. He had timed out by internet posts the jumps from English to Hindi. The effect is a weird type of future shock where what was hot in one culture and forgotten about becomes reintroduced back a few years later.

      I ran a small electrical engineer homework helping board once and at one point we got overwhelmed by Spainish-English speakers screaming about Tesla transverse wave stuff.
