The mystery surrounding Peru's so-called 'alien mummies' is gaining momentum as new footage reveals additional specimens, including a severed skull, prompting investigations by US lawmakers and forensic experts. Congressman Tim Burchett has committed to assembling a team of independent scientists to analyze these remains, which reportedly contain up to 30% unknown DNA. The analysis is expected to take place at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, known for its expertise in forensic anthropology. Burchett emphasized the need for independent scrutiny, distancing the effort from federal oversight. However, legal hurdles regarding the shipment of the mummies from Peru to the US could complicate the investigation. The ongoing discourse is further fueled by skepticism regarding previous claims made by UFO researcher Jaime Maussan, who has faced criticism for promoting unverified findings in the past.
