Alien remains dug up and presented to the Mexican Supreme Court have made big news. When I first heard this, I was so excited and looked up right away. However, once I saw the pictures and the video, I could already tell what this story was going to become: a meme.

Here is what we know: self -proclaimed UFO scientist, TV writer and host Jaime Maussan, presented two small, dusty alien bodies to the members of the Mexican Supreme Court and they were amused. He went on to say that they were dug up 1,000 years ago. He presented etra terrestrial (ET) evidence like this once before in 2015, but they were later revealed to be human remains. He also contributed to many space inhabitant-related documentaries over the years and has been involved in testing alien life. The recent specimens that were being examined in court have been tested and concluded to be “human material” and nothing space-like. 

As an expert in calling malarkey, this is absolutely insane and hilarious. I am an alien supporter and believer, but this just suspends my disbelief too far. There is simply a lack of evidence. These little guys could easily be papier maché. If we truly believe this is legit, we have all the technology to do something about it. They look so similar to ET that I do not believe anything about them is real, unless Steven Spielberg knew something we did not. If the whole internet is trolling this event, and even legitimate scientists do not take this seriously, why do we care? This an amazing opportunity to trust the people of the world to blow this up and over-hype it. 

America loves having things to pay attention to and love it even more when it is ridiculous. This whole situation was released when the U.S. news outlets have been fairly quiet, and now a rise in conversation spikes because of this. I truly do believe this was some sort of publicity stunt or social experiment. There is no real evidence, nothing to follow up on about this, and no new information has been released in the last week. I think it is interesting how much these two clearly fake artifacts have consumed the media. This may be news right now, but the internet chews up and spits out whatever they can get their hands on. In a few months we will all be saying, “oh yeah. I forgot about that. That was so funny.”
