The level of public interest in supposedly alien mummies from Peru is growing and now Republican US Congress member Tim Burchett has become interested in studying them.
Previously, Burchett, who is interested in ufology, was in the media because of his criticism of the US government regarding the strict secrecy imposed by the authorities on everything related to UFOs.

Burchett does not directly call these mummies alien, but given his interest in UFOs, it is likely that he considers them so, and therefore wants to get much more convincing results than those that the team of Mexican ufologist Jaime Maussan is gradually laying out.
Previously, the highest point in the case of the Peruvian three-fingered mummies was the exhibition of two of them in the Mexican Congress in September 2023. This was done through the efforts of Jaime Maussan.
“I would be happy to help you… I would also be interested in getting some people to analyze these bodies that are independent of the federal government… We will be looking for the most important people in the world to do this,” Burchett told Maussan’s team.
The University of Tennessee in Knoxville (Burchett’s hometown) is home to an internationally recognized center for the forensic examination of human remains: the so-called “Body Farm”.
Last year, the University received two major grants to study the possibility of high-quality DNA recovery from old and long-decomposed remains. It is believed that the Peruvian mummies will be studied as part of the same program.
