In a controversial statement, renowned ufologist Jaime Maussan claimed that experts have uncovered unusual metals and alloys in the chests of the so-called "alien mummies" found in Peru. According to Maussan, these metals are believed to be components of interstellar communication devices, possibly resembling mobile phones, that were embedded within the mysterious bodies.One of the rare metals discovered was osmium, a substance that can be deadly to humans.

Maussan told the Mirror  "I believe this is a device for communication. I don't really know how it works, but the experts will have to go in depth to understand why they put this inside the body.”

He further added “My guess is this was for health, to communicate something or a kind of cellular phone. The metal is made of osmium, which is used for telecommunications and satellites in the space field. It is very rare. It's not easy to find and it's very, very expensive and besides it's very toxic. For a human to have that inside them could create a big injury in the body or probably could kill the body.” He also stated “So it's difficult to understand why they did it. If you are going to create a hoax like this, are you going to put a very rare metal inside?" 

Controversy Surrounding the Alien Mummies

The bodies are currently undergoing scientific testing, with Maussan asserting that they were originally discovered in a cave in Nazca, Peru, in 2017. Additionally, it has been claimed that these centuries-old remains, characterized by their elongated skulls, contain DNA that is "30 percent unknown." Maussan has suggested that the compounds found in the bodies of the alien mummies indicate "the possibility that this is from somewhere else or was created by someone else."

Investigative filmmakers Serena DC and Michael Mazzola have teamed up with Maussan to document the scientific research being conducted on these mummies. Michael said "My initial take away from looking at these beings is that these bodies are a new species unknown to mankind previously. It is a major discovery for mankind.”

He further added "It is completely bizarre to me that these discoveries have been ignored, dismissed and ridiculed; instead of being considered as the biggest story in the world of science. People are always eager to invoke some kind of conspiracy theory to explain why some injustices have happened. But in my experience you do not need a conspiracy theory when human frailty or failure will do just fine.”
