The mystery of Mexico's 'alien corpses', which sparked a NASA investigation, has reportedly been solved by officials in Peru.

Forensic experts have revealed that the two doll-like figures and an alleged three-fingered hand, seized by customs authorities last year, are not aliens but were made with paper, glue, metal and human and animal bones. Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led the analysis, dismissed beliefs that the figures came from an "alien centre or come from another planet, all of which is totally false".

He explained to reporters: "The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times. They are not extraterrestrials; they are not aliens." The prosecutor's office has not yet determined who owns the objects.

Officials only stated that a Mexican citizen was the intended recipient of the objects before they were seized by customs agents in October. Mexican journalist Jose Jaime Maussan and some Mexican lawmakers were laughed at internationally when he showed two boxes with supposed mummies from Peru to the country's congress.

He said they were "non-human beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution". Later, Mr Maussan came back to Mexico's congress with Peruvian doctors to talk for over three hours about "non-human beings" found in Peru, repeating claims he made in 2017.

A report by the Peruvian prosecutor's office in 2017 said the so-called alien bodies were just "recently manufactured dolls, which have been covered with a mixture of paper and synthetic glue to simulate the presence of skin. They are not the remains of ancestral aliens that they have tried to present," according to the report.

Experts showed reporters two 2ft-long dolls wearing colourful clothes on Friday. Tests showed they used bones from birds, dogs, and other animals to make the dolls.

Also, they X-rayed a supposed three-fingered hand. Mr Estrada explained the badly made hand was put together using human bones.
