'Baby alien' found in Mexican cave with explorer 'daring not touch it without gloves'

A Mexican explorer, known as Edu Survivencia, has stumbled upon what he describes as a " baby alien " during one of his regular explorations of the Cerro de las Mitras, sharing this incredible picture online .

The peculiar find was well hidden inside a cave and Edu admitted: "I was well hidden. In the cave, it was dark and very dirty and I didn't think about it too much in that moment. I now keep it in a box and I don't dare touch it without gloves."

After sharing images of his discovery on Facebook, the post garnered over 2,000 comments with users offering their own theories.

One user exclaimed: "It's the body of a goblin", while another confessed: "I don't want to look at it anymore, it makes me scared. I would never have touched it, how brave you are! " A third simply stated: "It's a baby alien."

This unusual find has drawn comparisons to urologist Jaime Maussan's mummified discoveries presented to Congress in Mexico last September, which were met with scepticism by scientists labelling them as fakes.

The mysterious 'mummy aliens' from Peru are about to make their on-screen debut, with independent experts set to determine if these mummies truly are extraterrestrial beings in an upcoming TV documentary, reports the Daily Star .

Show producer Serena DC expressed frustration over past probes into the mummies not being public, stating: "It is now time for the world to know the truth."

Her team of independent specialists will conduct autopsies and medical scans to unravel the true nature of these remains.
