Internet skeptical of mummified ‘alien corpses’ for resembling E.T.

The dramatic presentation of supposed “non-human” alien corpses is being taken far less seriously online than it was in Mexico’s Congress — with many skeptical over their uncanny likeness to a famous movie Extra-Terrestrial.
“So the Mexicans discovered a 1,000-year-old mummy which supposedly is an alien,” entrepreneur Nikos Drandakis tweeted of the remains that were actually found in Peru but displayed this week for Mexican politicians.”
“And this alien happens to: 1: look exactly like [Steven] Spielberg’s ET,” he wrote, noting that the corpses also had “a human-looking body – one head, two hands, two legs.
“A very hard pill to swallow…,” he scoffed.
Even Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy joined the debate while sharing The Post’s story about the out-of-this-world claims by supposed UFO expert Jaime Maussan.
“Too close to ET to [be] believable,” Portnoy told his nearly 3 million followers.
Many others also noted the striking similarities between the bodies – which Maussan claims are between 700 and 1,800 years old – and the beloved big-screen extraterrestrial in Steven Spieberg’s 1982 classic, with narrow faces and elongated heads on slender, small bodies.
“Did… did they literally bring out a stone statue of ET and claim it was an alien corpse?!?” another X user wrote.
“People really think that old ET prop doll is a dead alien body lol,” someone chimed in.
Robotics professional Tyler Wolfe agreed, saying that the display “looks like when you make clay pots in elementary school but they made ET.”
Others likened it to another beloved movie character — Yoda from the “Star Wars” films.
Yet another commenter used an image of one of the supposed bodies to call back to the American Airlines’ “crazy plane lady,” Tiffany Gomas, who went viral earlier this summer when she screamed to her fellow passengers “That motherf–ker in the back is not real!”
In the new meme, a still of Gomas yelling and pointing is juxtaposed alongside the corpse photo.
Maussan, however, was not laughing when he told a packed public congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) Tuesday that they were “a clear demonstration” of “non-human” aliens.
“We are not alone,” he told Congress.
“This is the first time it (extraterrestrial life) is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world.”
Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, Director of the Scientific Institute for Health of the Mexican navy, also said X-rays, 3-D reconstruction and DNA analysis had been carried out on the remains.
“I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings,” he said.
