This U.S. Department of State cable, sent by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico on September 16, 2023, is a weekly political blotter covering September 11 to 15. Most of it covers Mexican politics: Marcelo Ebrard's challenge to MORENA's candidate selection, INE commission appointments, Mexico City security leadership changes and killings of prosecutors in Guerrero. Its final item reports the September 12 congressional UAP hearing. Journalist Jaime Maussan presented two alleged alien corpses there, and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves called the display an "unsubstantiated stunt."

From the source:Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 9/12/03, Mexico. On September 12, 20023 the Mexican Congress heard testimony on UAP from experts related to the debate about an Aerial Space Protection Law, which, if approved, would make Mexico the first country to formally acknowledge the presence of alien life on earth. Experts asked legislators to recognize UAP, guarantee airspace security, and allow UAP to be studied. They presented to alleged alien corpses and videos of Mexican pilot’s encounters with fast-moving flying objects during flight. Disagreement about the efficacy and validity of the purported alien corpses.

the hearing, Graves lamented the display took away from his and other pilots'
experiences with UAP and expressed disappointment with Maussan's
"unsubstantiated stunt." Scientists have discredited previous alleged alien
corpses Maussan presented as evidence of alien life.
