Mexican lawmakers heard testimony that "we are not alone" in the universe and saw the alleged remains of non-human beings in an extraordinary hearing marking the Latin American country's first congressional event on UFOs.

墨西哥立法者在一次特别听证会上听到了宇宙中“我们并不孤单”的证词，并看到了所谓的非人类遗骸，该听证会标志着这个拉丁美洲国家首次就不明飞行物举行国会活动。

In the hearing on Tuesday on FANI, the Spanish acronym for what are usually now termed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), politicians were shown two artifacts that Mexican journalist and long-time UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan claimed were the corpses of extraterrestrials.

在9月13日的 FANI（西班牙语缩写，通常被称为“不明异常现象”（UAP））听证会上，政治家们看到了两件文物，墨西哥记者、不明飞行物学家杰米·莫桑称其为外星人的尸体。

The specimens were not related to any life on Earth, Maussan said.

莫桑表示，这些标本与地球上的任何生命都没有关系。

The two tiny "bodies," displayed in cases, have three fingers on each hand and elongated heads. Maussan said they were recovered in Peru near the ancient Nazca Lines in 2017. He said that they were about 1,000 years old, analyzed through a carbon dating process by Mexico's National Autonomous University (UNAM).

陈列在箱子里的两个小“身体”，每只手各有三根手指，头部细长。莫桑表示，他们于2017年在秘鲁纳斯卡线附近被发现。他说，通过墨西哥国立自治大学的碳定年法分析，这些化石大约有1000年的历史。

Maussan faced swift backlash and criticism from skeptics on Wednesday who questioned the authenticity of his presentation.

9月13日，莫桑迅速遭到了质疑其演讲真实性的怀疑论者的强烈反对和批评。
