A Mexican journalist claiming to be in possession of alien corpses is looking to American and European scientists to confirm their authenticity.

Two newly unearthed 'alien' mummies from Peru have caused waves of controversy since x-ray and ultrasound data on the bodies was unveiled this past March, with archeologists fearing they may be ancient humans dug up by tomb raiders. 

Journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan confirmed to DailyMail.com that more in-depth 'analyses are being done' — and he's suing Peru's government for the right to ship the bodies to more advanced labs in the US.

Maussan, whose research has courted controversy for nearly a decade, has floated the idea that the mummies might be alien-human 'hybrids,' with his scientist colleagues declaring that the new specimens contain '30 percent unknown' DNA.

But critics continue to cast doubt on his claims. 

'Personally, I am not convinced that they are humanoid. I think they're human,' Latin American historian Christopher Heaney told DailyMail.com.

'So far we have tomographies [CT scans] and fluoroscopy analysis,' Maussan told DailyMail.com describing the x-ray and ultrasound data he unveiled at West Hollywood's Mondrian Hotel at the March 12 press event (pictured above)
