A pair of ‘alien mummies’ that mysteriously turned up in a Peruvian airport last October are, to no one’s surprise, not genuine extraterrestrials.

The strange figurines turned up in the Lima airport offices of courier DHL in a cardboard box, and were made to look like mummified bodies dressed in traditional Andean attire. 

They were rumoured to be of otherworldly origin and were promptly shipped off for forensic analysis, along with a separate three-fingered hand believed to be from Peru’s Nazca region.

But during a press conference in Lima, the forensics team wasted no time in setting the record straight.

The report from the Institute of Legal Medicine concludes that it is a fraud, and they are dolls made with animal bones, plant tissue, plaster and glue Alleged Peruvian Alien Mummies, Lima, Peru - 12 Jan 2024

‘The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times,’ said Flavio Estrada, an archeologist with Peru’s Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences who led the investigation.

‘They’re not extraterrestrials. They’re dolls made from animal bones from this planet joined together with modern synthetic glue.’

‘It’s totally a made-up story,’ he added.

Experts on Friday showed reporters a couple of 2-foot-long dolls dressed in red, orange and green clothes. They said examinations showed the bones of birds, dogs and other animals were used to create the dolls.

Meanwhile, the three-finger hand was subjected to X-ray examinations. Estrada said the ‘very poorly’ built hand was created with human bones.

The prosecutor’s office has not yet determined who owns the objects. Officials on Friday would only say that a Mexican citizen was the intended recipient of the objects before they were seized by customs agents in October.

Last year, Mexican journalist José Jaime Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers became the subject of international ridicule in September when they unveiled a similar pair of ‘alien mummies’ to the country’s congress as part of a UFO hearing.

‘These specimens are not part of our evolutionary history on Earth,’ said Maussan.

‘They are not beings recovered from a UFO crash.

‘Instead, they were found in diatom (algae) mines and subsequently became fossilised.’

However, following a similar forensic analysis, the Peruvian prosecutor’s office later revealed that the alleged alien bodies were actually ‘recently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin.’
