Supposed aliens landed in Mexico’s Congress but there were no saucer-shaped UFOs hovering over the historic building or bright green invaders like those seen in Hollywood films.

The specter of little green men visited Mexico City as lawmakers heard testimony Tuesday from individuals suggesting the possibility that extraterrestrials might exist. The researchers hailed from Mexico, the United States, Japan and Brazil.

The session, unprecedented in the Mexican Congress, took place two months after a similar one before the U.S. Congress in which a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer claimed his country has probably been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.

      What’s your scientific peer reviewed explanation for the videos released by the Pentagon then, champ?

      Pulitzer Prize winning journalists who broke the TicTac video to the NY Times are lying I guess?

      Obama must have been smoking something when he said things fly in our skies and we don’t know what they are?

      None of this is worth any sort of investigation?

        The person making the claim is the one that has the burden of proof, Champ.

        The only thing you’ve proven is your own gullibility.

          I’m not claiming anything? I’m saying UAP deserve further investigation due to the fact that the Pentagon has released video on the subject, we’ve shot objects down without explanation as to what they were, and the former President of the US has spoken on this topic.

          You’re trying to railroad any discussion of this for… reasons? Is not worth investigating things we don’t know about anymore?

            Some people just don’t want to risk looking like a fool and want to feel superior but it’s worth investigating for the reasons you mentioned.

            “we’ve shot objects down without explanation as to what they were”

            You mean like the balloons we shot down that were… wait for it…

            Balloons?

              Actually our Canadian Defence Minister held a press conference where she emphatically stated that it was NOT a balloon, and insisted on referring to it as an object.

          I’m not positing any explanation anywhere here. I’m just saying we should investigate UAP as a serious matter. And this dude and his stunt is not helping people take it seriously.
