“Mexico’s alien mummies” refers to purported remains of nonhuman beings that have not been verified as evidence of extraterrestrial life.
The term refers to claims that bodies or mummies of nonhuman beings have been presented to the public in Mexico. An early case that attracted attention dates to 2007, near Metepec, when photographs of a small, alien-like body began circulating. According to reports, a farmer had found it. Skeptics and animal experts argued that it was most likely a modified squirrel monkey, not an extraterrestrial being.
No conclusive scientific study has been published proving that the Metepec find came from space. In later viral claims, local authorities were also reported to have found nothing unusual. The cases remain claims associated with UFOs (or UAPs), and no credible official statement from the Mexican government has confirmed the discovery of alien bodies.
