The strange saga of the “1,000-year-old alien corpses” that were first shown to Congress in Mexico back in September has taken yet another turn.
In the months since his first presentation, Mexican journalist Jaime Maussan, who claims to have discovered these “non-human alien corpses,” has been going to great lengths to prove his claim that a portion of the corpses’ DNA is “not from any known species.”
Three times he has made presentations to Mexican Congress. He has also claimed to have had numerous medical experts and a paleontologist test the bodies using everything from x-rays to CT scans.
Meanwhile, several scientists, including a forensic archaeologist, have stated that Jaime Maussan is yanking everyone’s chain with his claims.
Then, of course, are the internet sleuths.
Now, however, a former Colorado prosecutor and current defense attorney has examined one of the “alien corpses” along with three independent forensic medical examiners.
“These were not traditional human fingerprint patterns,” attorney Joshua McDowell told DailyMail.com.
… criminal forensic investigators in America have long systematized the hunt for unique features ever since these patterns first came into use by US law enforcement in 1902, beginning with three broad types of fingerprint: arches, loops and whorls.
But “María,” the so-called “alien” mummy that McDowell and his forensic doctors examined, appeared to have fingerprints that matched no known human pattern.
“We did not see any loops or whorls on the prints of the fingers or on the toes,” McDowell told DailyMail.com.
“I’m a former prosecutor. I’m a criminal defense attorney. I’ve seen lots of fingerprints. And these were not classic fingerprints.
“María’s fingerprints weren’t consistent with human prints.”
McDowell added, “Much of her body is covered in diatomaceous earth. However, on the fingers that were exposed, the epidermal ridges I saw appeared to be in mostly straight lines.”
The three people who examined Maussan’s “alien corpses” along with McDowell were a city coroner from Denver, a forensic anthropologist from Maryland’s State Medical Examiner, and McDowell’s father Dr. John McDowell, a forensic odontologist and retired professor at the University of Colorado who assisted in identifying bodies in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
While Jaime Maussan claims the corpses’ “DNA contains 29 percent that does not belong to the evolutionary chain of the Earth,” McDowell wouldn’t jump to any conclusions.
“The carbon dating needs to be repeated with more sophisticated methods,” he said at a press conference earlier this year. “Those are things that we’re looking for. Our preliminary investigation really just led to the fact that more investigation is needed.”
