A Mexican journalist claiming to be in possession of alien corpses is looking to American and European scientists to confirm their authenticity.

Two newly unearthed ‘alien’ mummies from Peru have caused waves of controversy since x-ray and ultrasound data on the bodies was unveiled this past March, with archeologists fearing they may be ancient humans dug up by tomb raiders.

Journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan confirmed to DailyMail.com that more in-depth ‘analyses are being done’ — and he’s suing Peru’s government for the right to ship the bodies to more advanced labs in the US.

Maussan, whose research has courted controversy for nearly a decade, has floated the idea that the mummies might be alien-human ‘hybrids,’ with his scientist colleagues declaring that the new specimens contain ’30 percent unknown’ DNA.

But critics continue to cast doubt on his claims.

‘Personally, I am not convinced that they are humanoid. I think they’re human,’ Latin American historian Christopher Heaney told DailyMail.com.

Maussan and his colleagues have had an eventful year pushing for wider scientific interest in the apparently alien bodies, including a controversial presentation before Mexico’s Congress and clashes with Peru’s Ministry of Culture.

The drama over the bodies came amid exploding public policy debate on UFOs — as politicians in the United States follow the lead of government whistleblowers and Ivy League scientists in calling for more open research on the mystery.

Maussan’s clash with his critics reached its most heated moment this past April when a press conference that he held in Peru was raided by police intent on seizing one of the new mummified bodies on display, dubbed ‘Montserrat.’

Undaunted, Maussan is now suing the government of Peru both for damages and for the right to ship these mummy specimens to university researchers and other scientists in the United States for more thorough, independent third-party testing.

‘The lawsuit is already in for $300 million,’ Maussan told DailyMail.com.

‘We are going to negotiate with Peru,’ Maussan said, ‘to be allowed to export the samples to be done in America.’

In an update this Sunday, broadcast to listeners of his program ‘No Humano,’ Maussan added that it will take eight months for an update in this legal battle, which he emphasized will fund a museum for the mummies and not profit him personally.

In the meantime, testing continues in Mexico, where one of Maussan’s research collaborators, Dr Martín Achirica Ramos of the alternative health clinic SPES in Mexico City, who has working on the team’s other ‘alien’ mummies.

These prior specimens were those presented to Mexico’s Congress last September, spurring interest from a NASA contractor in the US, Maussan told DailyMail.com

Maussan and Dr Achirica announced Sunday that specialist doctors from Europe will conduct DNA tests on these mummies soon: ‘We are not going to say the name, so we can do more DNA analysis. They have offered to analyze each of the bodies.’

Dr Achirica added that further details will be disclosed on June 15th, as part of the roll-out for his new book ‘Expediente abierto’ (‘Open file’) which promises ‘the whole truth about the non-human bodies of Nazca.’

But archeologists and historians who have devoted their careers to understanding the world of ancient Peru continue to speak out critically against the effort.

Heaney, the Latin American historian at Penn State, emphasized two key historical realities in support of his opinion that the bodies are not as ‘alien’ as appear to be.

First, the practice of ‘head binding’ by certain cultures living in the Andes mountains of Peru was well documented by both Spanish colonists and local peoples.

And no evidence ties the practice, nor the elongated, ‘alien’-like heads produced, to indigenous myths or legends about beings from the sky, the stars or anywhere else.

Second, according to Heaney, centuries of international tomb raiding, theft, recovery, haphazard reburials, and black market trafficking in both real and fake Peruvian ‘antiquities’ has sown deep confusion over the nation’s historical artifacts.

‘But, in a general sense, this part of a larger problem,’ Heaney added, ‘feeling like we need to dig up the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ to know more about them.’
