Original subtitles

- [Barry] In just over a two-week period,

both Steve Mera and myself, Barry Fitzgerald,

travel enough miles to take us

completely around this planet and then some,

in an attempt to find answers,

scientific answers to finally solve that age-old question

if we are truly alone in this universe.

The results are in, and this is our story.

[singing in foreign language]

- In June 2017, the Internet exploded with images and video

of a mysterious mummy discovered in South America.

It has become known as the three-fingered hybrid.

But what do we really know about this discovery?

My name's Steve Mera and I'm an investigative researcher

based here in the UK.

Join me and my cameraman and fellow researcher,

Barry Fitzgerald as we travel to the Southern Hemisphere

and uncover the mysteries surrounding this discovery,

securing much more information

and interviewing the people that bore this explosive find.

[mysterious music]

Against all odds, we must navigate our way

to a secret location to view the body

amidst government attempts to seize the evidence

and capture those involved.

This is our journey and we'll be keeping you up-to-date

every step of the way.

[engine revving]

[adventurous music]

We obviously got some delays today.

Hopefully, we'll be back on track very shortly.

As it stands at this moment in time,

we're just gonna have to join the queue,

just try to get all this stuff through

as best we possibly can.

[adventurous music]

After a delay at Manchester International,

believe there was some type of scare, evacuations.

It was absolutely a hands-on, absolutely hands-on.

So we had to fight and scratch our way through the crowds.

Battling with the equipment.

Battling with the heat 'cause it was so humid.

We're now just cruising over Madrid

due to land finish [mumbles].

As you can see, it's beautiful out there, it's 35 degrees.

We're already absolutely exhausted,

that's long before we're called.

A lot more air miles to cover.

And of course, to the foothills of the Andes,

Southern America, it's a long way.

We're getting there step-by-step,

we're just gonna chisel away at the miles.

[adventurous music]

Well, we've now boarded the...

Plane that's going to Madrid.

Big plane, all the way, 12-hour flight.

It's gonna be a long flight, so we'll see how things go.

I'm tired already.

[adventurous music]

- [Barry] This is the remaining leg of our mammoth journey,

which will take us to Cusco,

a town hidden in the Andes mountain range.

but before we departed from Lima Airport,

we happened upon a strange encounter,

which left both of us a little unnerved

by what we were about to walk into.

- Well, we were...

We were just leaving Lima Airport actually,

We just sat there [mumbles] and somebody

came over to talk with us, a conversation exchange,

where we were pretty much warned

about not talking aloud about what,

still sounds so crazy, all this, to be honest with you.

I mean, I don't know what I've got myself into.

It's, I'm absolutely paranoid, never been like this before.

But what's really interesting is,

is that some information was exchanged

where we need to know who this person is,

totally shocked us, just came out the plane.

There's a lot more seems been going on than meets the eye,

and sounds like something straight out of a

[airplane rumbling drowns out speaker]

never seen anything like it, for god's sakes.

We can't talk too much about this.

This time, we're on the plane, we're leaving Lima, Peru,

get back to hotel

and we'll be able to explain a little bit more.

At this moment in time, can't talk.

Talk about cloak and dagger.

[adventurous music]

[speaking in foreign language] [crowd applauding]

[suspenseful music]

Oh well.

We finally got to the hotel in Cusco,

literally with 15 minutes to spare.

We're gonna be meeting up with Thierry.

He's the middleman between

the discoverer of the mummy

and the footage that we received

back in April of this year.

We're gonna be meeting up with him very shortly

to finding out what's exactly been going on

and we'll keep you posted as it happens.

[adventurous music]

- [Barry] Steve just had enough time

to change before the meeting.

And I, to set up a camera to record it.

- Hey, you're lucky. - Okay, they never been there.

But they're talking on behalf of--

- [Steve] Right, they said they mostly need information.

- Yes.

[speaking in foreign language] [telephone ringing]

- [Steve] We were determined

to get as much information as possible.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Yes, he say one of the most important points is the place,

where they find-- - He said--

- They can't say where. - That's okay, secret.

[speaking in foreign language]

- They say that place where they can be,

there is a very high

electronic magnetic-- - Okay.

[speaking in foreign language]

- They keep in touch.

[speaking in foreign language]

And they also saw life.

[speaking in foreign language]

The size... [speaking in foreign language]

Into meters, they escape. [speaking in foreign language]

- [Barry] We wanted to know where they find this place

and what was on the inside.

[speaking in foreign language]

- They found them in mountain, yes.

[speaking in foreign language]

It's like a cave.

And then you have to go down.

Two meters, go down. [speaking in foreign language]

And then from there, they found different tunnels.

[speaking in foreign language]

Different levels, tunnels. - Cave.

- [Barry] The third and final individual

from the internal circle of the Inkari Institute

arrived at the meeting.

- Hi. - Ed.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

[speaking in foreign language]

- [Barry] The implications that this may have

for world religions is also brought up in the meeting.

- He believed that if this is not a fraud,

then it can change the world.

- It could.

[speaking in foreign language]

- Yes, he say that there is many implications,

like political-- - It could change the world.

- They don't want to be involved in that.

- Okay. - They want is to--

- Is not a fake. - Yes.

- Yeah, that is not a fake. - If is not a fake.

[speaking in foreign language]

- [Flor] They are always in doubt.

- [Barry] Our heads were left spinning

from what we had been told and there was the promise

of obtaining even more information.

- Well, we've just finished that meeting with Thierry

and a couple of his associates.

It was a lot more information

than we could ever have imagined for, to be honest with you.

I'm quite surprised to find out

there's a lot of dodgy stuff going on, it's wild.

I mean, dodgy dealings.

We're talking an international racket here

of European and Asian people,

hierarchy, got a lot of money,

those sort of people that we're talking about

might be buying artifacts illegally.

And that seems to be the case,

and it's absolutely fascinating.

But the more we get into this, the worse,

the bigger the hole is getting.

I don't know, I mean, sometimes you just want to stop,

but we are finding more and more L,

which is just expanding and expanding,

opening new doors of research and information,

which is all a bit worrying, to be quite frank.

And we've got some more information coming tomorrow.

We've got more meetings to do, we've got more filming to do

and we're gonna be told even some,

a lot more things tomorrow

which we've already had an inkling of what's coming.

It's gonna be absolutely fascinating.

So we'll keep you in tuned

as to what unfolds when and where it happens.

Thierry is battling to keep artifacts in the country.

It's as simple as that.

He thinks it's important that they stay in Peru.

And of course, some of these things,

probably a lot of these things,

are actually getting out there.

And some of the things that we've actually been told

is absolutely incredible, to be honest with you,

at least one of those things was apparently

just like we got some more footage.

There's some at the Roswell incident.

This foil unfolds itself,

apparently some of this was found

and was sold for only $8,000

to somebody in Asia.

I mean, that's just incredible, you can't even fathom that.

If that was true, if that be true,

then there is an international market for this,

for these discoveries, and we've been told

that there's a lot more discoveries to come.

We've had an inkling as to

what that might consist of tonight

and we were completely, absolute completely blown away,

with some of the things that we've been shown.

Some of the photographs that would be

put out in front of us is quite incredible.

And we're gonna be finding out a lot more tomorrow.

[upbeat vocalizing music]

Now, in about 15 minutes, we're gonna be catching a taxi

and we're gonna be heading to the Inkari Institute.

We're gonna be needing to talk to Thierry

about some of the biggest questions

everyone seems to be posing over the Internet

right at this moment in time, questions about the mummy.

Now not only that, we're gonna be finding out

a little bit about Thierry's work,

the whereabout is, the mummy is, the findings

and of course, a little bit about the Institute itself.

So it's gonna really interesting, so stick with us.

We hope to get some answers.

[adventurous music]

- Can you tell me a little bit

about the work that the Institute does

and how far do you travel?

- And we can see obviously from around the room,

it's full of books, it's full of research,

it's full of reports, projects.

So you collect the archives and keep all the information.

So more recently, over the Internet, there's been some

remarkable information has been released

in regarding some unusual bodies that have been discovered.

- Knocked on the door, right.

- Small body, organs, yes.

- The most recent discovery, I assume, is Maria.

- With all the organs, yes, that's a body.

- Yes, 'cause they initially said

it was a mummy, didn't they?

Yes, the Internet. [speaking in foreign language]

- What has been a huge amount of interest recently

over the Internet worldwide

in regarding the discovery of this body

and of course, numerous people have been also analyzing it.

Now the most unusual thing about this body

is that it's got only three fingers and only three toes.

- Three fingers. - Three fingers

and three toes, now what is unusual about Maria

is that she's covered in something that looks white.

Does Thierry have any idea what that is?

- [Woman] The small bodies.

- [Woman] The body of the Greys.

- [Woman] Yes.

- And are they the same color, or white?

- [Woman] No no, the gray-- - Those Greys?

- [Woman] He say that the Greys, they have slightly white.

- [Woman] And it looks like in the past were taken.

- Were taken. - Yes.

- Okay, and we don't know what this white substance is

on the body of Maria, we're waiting for analysis.

- So Maria may have been taken from one place

and moved to somewhere else and this may be something to do,

why she's covered in white.

- Okay, so we really don't know--

- Not yet. - We know there's something,

but we're not too sure and analysis is taking place.

- Yes. - Was analysis taking place

from their hands as well as the body?

- Yes. - Yeah, and we're waiting

on information coming back from that.

- [Woman] They're going to say about Maria.

- [Woman] Si, no, you can see the digits.

- The digits, the fingers.

Right. - The foot of Maria.

- Very long. - Very long.

- Yes.

- They're very very hard to fake, double ridges, as we know.

Fascinating, wonderful.

- Incredible. - Incredible.

- Now, looking at the feet, it doesn't look like

Maria would have been able to walk very well.

- Has anybody suggested

that it could be amphibian?

That they may have been wet?

- No, no no no. - No?

'Cause they don't, no ears.

- Okay, I'm just curious if anybody had made a suggestion.

Because we're trying to find out what,

lots of people think that it might be extraterrestrial.

This is the sort of thing it's on the Internet.

- [Woman] Yeah, Maria looks like between humans--

- A mix. - A new breed.

- A mix, a new breed.

- It is, yes, yes.

- [Woman] We had the opportunity.

- [Woman] To exam.

- A baby. - Right.

- [Woman] Three fingers, three toes.

- [Woman] There is a possibility.

- [Woman] They're going to present.

- [Woman] They try to let the world know.

- Let the world know.

- Yes. - Fake.

- Fraud or something. - Yes.

- Right, so we'll talk, what we're getting to now, to the crunch of the matter,

is that there has been some of the bodies located as well,

discovered, and some of these bodies have,

it's a being that seems to have a neck

it can move up and down just slightly.

The Steven Spielberg ET, just as our people are saying,

which is fascinating, but they believe that they are

actually absolutely real, they're real

and they are referring to them as small beings,

bit like the alien Greys that we heard of today.

And again, a lot more information is need to come to light,

but some of these bodies, which is,

this is a real important part,

some of these bodies have been put together,

maybe manufactured by somebody

and we don't know who and we don't why.

Has the Peruvian government

been interested in trying to find out more?

- Credible scientists apparently have done some work

and apparently are confirming

that there are some unusualities about this.

Is there a press conference coming up?

A press announcement coming up?

- Okay, so we hope there'll be more information's

gonna come to light, we wait until tomorrow.

Well, what can I say, I mean, tonight has just,

just has been a mind-blowing session of interviews

with these guys from the Inkari Institute.

And to be honest with you, I really do feel for them,

because it does seem that they really are been placed

right in the middle of this between the discoveries,

literally, as you heard him say, just turned up here

and dropped these damn bodies on their counter,

and say, "Hey guys, you deal with it," you know?

And at the same time, they're trying to figure out,

"How are we gonna deal with this?

"We've got to deal with the government. We got to deal with the press."

It's a monstrous, absolute monstrous task that befell them.

Now, what's really interesting is that the fact

is that they've already stated that some of these bodies

have been seem to be doctored and that's wonderful,

because the sincerity coming from these guys

that they're trying to find the truth,

they're trying to figure out

is there anything unusual about these things,

especially the latest, which is confirmed,

it's not a mummy, it is a body.

This latest body's been discovered,

so we're referring to as Maria.

Now some analysis have been taking place

and we ask the questions that, is covered in white,

what is it, is it some type of plaster, they don't know.

They don't know, now that means, that's telling me

they've not seen this before on other bodies,

which makes it quite unique, but nevertheless though,

they're waiting on information.

DNA has been taken from the bodies,

DNA has been take from the hands.

We've talked about the bones, we've talked about the feet,

we're looking at the anatomy of this thing, what is it?

Is it, as they say, could this possibly be

a new type of species, we just don't know.

We're waiting on this information coming back,

and that'll determine exactly what this thing is.

In the meantime, these guys are in the middle

of a storm, a media storm throughout the whole incident.

And it's also things going on in the background as well.

It seems to be like a,

a group of individuals around the world that purchase

such items like this from those that discover them.

And of course what they've said right from beginning is

they've always wanted to make sure that they keep these things in Peru.

So anybody out there is going to be asking these questions.

I suggest, travel halfway around the world like we have

and talk to these guys face-to-face

'cause they have a story to tell and this story

could be potentially one of the biggest ever,

as far as I'm concerned.

[mysterious music]

[telephone ringing]

The early hours of this morning, we received a phone call,

pretty much out the blue, kept us up pretty much

most of the rest of the early morning here.

It was a phone call to say that we might have

the opportunity to actually witness some things.

Artifacts or whatever these will be, I don't have no idea,

but it's got to be kept secret.

I mean, it's a location that we're not allowed to film,

we're not allowed to film the person

who's going to be picking us up here at the hotel

nor that of the driver or the vehicle, and most of all,

we're not allowed to take our cell phones with us.

Now that sparks off a big debate

between myself and Barry here because we're trying

to roll it backwards and forwards, what we're gonna do

because it doesn't, it does not sit well

because we got no communication, if anything goes wrong,

we don't know what we're gonna do.

But we do have a bit of a back-up plan

and this is this wonderful little watch on my hand.

It does record, so we are gonna set that recording.

We never know what we're gonna get.

But we'll just have to see.

[suspenseful music]

We're getting close to this location

where we're supposed to be being taken to.

No idea where we are.

It's a bit hard to actually talk, very thin, the air.

We've been climbing for a good, I don't know,

seems about 45 minutes, an hour,

and then we started off at 11,000 feet.

God knows what we are at this moment in time.

But we've been now instructed to turn our cameras off.

What also is quite concerning is that we weren't allowed

to bring our cell phones with us

and of course, that's a big concern as you well imagine,

but we had to face the situation.

And myself and Barry did have this discussion

back at the hotel, should we pretty much

just throw our cards in, put our tails between our legs,

go back home and just not go through it

because it is a bit concerning this.

But we've decided against that, we decided to,

well, you know, "What the hell, we're gonna go for it."

We don't know what we're gonna be shown

and we'd be taken to a certain location,

I have no idea where we are, but concerned?

Yes, absolutely concerned.

Yeah, we are, we will do.

We are turning off the cameras now.

And we'll see what happens.

- [Barry] With our high altitude trip over,

we were escorted into a building we'd never seen before

and into a room where men waited in surgical dress.

Within moments of our arrival,

we too had to dress in the same surgical gowns and masks

and body after body was presented to us

to film and document.

[mysterious music]

- Now you see the teeth.

What we've got here is the side of the skull

showing the teeth which could be obviously from fish,

doesn't look like human teeth, and you can see the ribcage,

it looks like it's manufactured.

The arm length down here too, it's lower than its knees.

And of course, the feet at the bottom.

There's a side profile of that particular x-ray of the body,

again confirming that this is in fact been manufactured.

[mysterious music]

[people speaking softly]

- [Steve] Yeah, they have a lot of golden color.

So what we're dealing with here,

what we're dealing with here is these three hands

and what we've been told is, is that they seem to have

some type of implant on top of them

and as we can see, we'll get some close-ups

but as we can see there is a design,

it looks like it's gold in coloration,

some type of pattern, however,

right across the bridge of the hand

and the same for this one.

Looks like these two seem to have that marking,

and this one doesn't, but as you can tell from these,

they're very similar, three fingers

and of course, dealing with again, a number of extra bones.

We're dealing with one, two, three, four, five.

But we do want to have-- - There's--

- Six, six is the tip.

[mysterious music]

Okay. So what we're actually seeing here is one of the hands.

This is representing this metal plate, implant,

whatever you want to call it

and as we mentioned earlier, it's gold in color,

it has some type of pattern to it

and it does feature on two of the hands.

It's definitely visible throughout the X-ray.

As for what that actually represents,

if it's metal, what type of metal?

That's completely unknown, like I say,

analysis is currently taking place, samples have been taken,

and you can see the six bones in the fingers.

And what is very, very interesting is how these are actually

put together here, then joined,

and it looks like there's further bones as well.

Now, anatomically, I'm no expert, anatomically,

but what I can say is that it's, all these,

these particular hands are all going to fall down

to the analysis, the independent analysis

that's taking place, maybe secondary analysis

might be necessary to confirm if this structure

is in fact correct.

So right of this moment, it's open, it's open at the moment.

We don't know, but what we do know is that

we're waiting on analysis to come back to confirm

if there's anything authentic about these particular hands.

But what is interesting is these are significantly different

than what we've just seen on a smaller body.

And it seems to be a consistent amount of bone and muscle

that seems to be evident within the top part of this hand,

as they are in the other two.

I wouldn't really want to comment without the analysis

confirming how these are actually authentic.

But at the end of the day,

if anything comes back from these hands,

they are or have not been altered,

well, it is what it is, as you can see.

A hand may be of something,

which might actually be a new type of species

or other type of species, an unknown species, for sure.

We were looking at two skulls here, and as you can see,

the biggest difference here is the elongation

because we've all seen skulls probably from monkeys before

and as you can see, the long elongation,

which is something unusual, though they do have the size

from the front of monkey, but very large eye sockets.

They does have this long elongation.

Apart from that, it does seem to have some cranial ridges.

We have a sense of cranial ridge

and we have two cranial arches

coming around on either side,

and that's exactly the same for this one,

which is almost identical; to be honest, really

there's not much difference between them.

We are told that there's something that's inside

of this, maybe a little part of the vertebrae,

maybe a little bit of both, but also on this particular one,

what we can see is that the first part of the vertebrae,

as we can see here,

we'll take some close-up shots of these here,

and there's a probably similar in weight.

And what's interesting about these particular X-rays

of the two skulls that we've just been looking at

is that the first thing that is interesting,

but I want you to note the elongation of these skulls

because this is one of the biggest mysteries

about these skulls is it's,

purely it's shape and the cranial ridging.

You can see from the cranial ridging and you can also see

what looks to be some type of membrane on both skulls

as it's shaped at the back

and also you can clearly see the jawbone in there.

But again like I mentioned, no teeth.

Looks to be large eyes, and we're not too sure

what these are, what this represents

in the scans, in these X-rays.

It has been suggested that it may be

some type of metal plates in there.

It's a little bit unsure; I'm not too sure.

You can see the center position here to the vertebrae

and of course, causing the skull be able

to be regularly balanced properly.

[mysterious music]

- [Steve] Okay, so what we're looking at here

is a secondary body, a little bit longer and larger

than the first one that we saw tonight.

- [Barry] Steve thought it prudent to measure the body,

which was 25 1/2 inches long, and at its widest point,

between the shoulders, was a meager 7 1/2 inches wide.

- [Steve] Now, what's interesting is,

from what we looked at earlier

were the two previous spore skulls, that this looks to have

the same type of skull that we've recently just seen,

but in fact, it's attached to the body in this occasion.

And if we actually take a measure of this and we know

what we were measuring from last time, is that

he's coming in at 70 millimeters,

which is roughly round about the same size

as the previous two skulls,

but the same type of cranial ridging,

the large eye sockets

and we can see the central point from vertebrae

and that long elongation of the head.

It's also interesting to know that we've been told

from the X-rays that have been coming out

is that it looks to have a skeletal neck,

which may have been adjustable,

which may have got short and larger.

Also it's interesting to look, note on its legs,

that it's right hip joint seems to have

what is referred to as an implant ball,

some type of mechanism in there,

similar to what you probably find in elderly people

when they have some type of hip replacement

or something of that degree.

It's got a very, I have to admit though,

it's got a very, very unusual posture,

because it doesn't look like

nothing I've ever seen before, to be honest with you,

the way this is designed here at the top,

very, very straight,

very broad, very unusual rib cage.

Again, like most of the other things

that we've been seeing tonight

has this covering of this white, white powder

and as to what that is is still a mystery

and apparently waiting on analysis to come back

to confirm what that consists of.

- So what we're seeing on the X-ray for this particular body

is an oversized clavicle bone here,

as you can see, across the tops here.

Also what is interesting is that doesn't seem

to have any ball joints at the top part of its arms.

So I'm not too sure how

that would have actually moved or maneuvered around.

Also what's interesting is that it looks like the bones

have knitted, which would suggest that it is in fact

an [mumbles] of an adult than it is a child.

And the absence of being able to fit lungs in,

we have to ask the question,

"How did this creature breathe?"ú

There doesn't seem to be any evidence

of a nasal passage anemia,

so either this is a completely manufactured creature

or it may be something that we've,

so profound we don't know what it is

and it may not have required oxygen,

it may not have been breathing oxygen, we just don't know.

We can see the obvious deformity in the hip

and what looks to be the actually catching

the metallic implant or something

that's been placed in the hip to maybe strengthen it.

Does look like there's an abnormality there

and of course, the long neck as well.

Very interesting, but we have not seen anything

that's really has grabbed me, but nevertheless though,

we're gonna have to wait for the analysis to come back

to confirm, is this any known creature at all?

A bit of a mystery at this moment in time. But as for the X-rays,

I'm not very convinced on this particular one,

but who knows, we could be looking at something

that we couldn't possibly fathom in our minds

or if that's something which has been, again, manipulated.

So what we're dealing with here is a second body,

and lots more less similar in size,

though we are told that

this represents a female of this species.

Notice again the same size of the cranium,

the same sort of arching and face features,

central position on the vertebrae

and slightly shorter neck in this case.

But what is most interesting is that it looks like to be

some type of implant, implant there which is metal,

which we can clearly identify that on the X-rays.

Not too sure what that is, but what also is probably

the most significant thing about this

is that does look to have a raised stomach area

and apparently, according to the X-rays,

it would look like there are three bones has a purpose X

in there, indicating that this species

or whatever they say is may have been reptilean in nature.

Nevertheless though, the only calcareous differences

between these two is that one seems to have a more,

longer neck and this particular one

seems to have these metal implant, and of course,

this raised abdomen area where apparently

it's housing three, looks like three eggs.

Very interesting, that trait is,

particularly what we're actually looking at is

what looks to be the implant,

which is across this chest area

and also what looks to be the housing of three eggs.

What's interesting is you can actually see

the bone structures through the axial arch

and are transparent somewhat, which is what you might expect

from eggs being placed inside a body.

You can see that the figure, the bone structure

seems a lot more complete in this particular X-ray.

Again, doesn't look to be housing any lungs

and of course, if they are eggs, we have to question,

"Would this be reptilian in nature?"

Which seem to be according to the bone structure

that she is in fact an adult.

The absence of ball joints, again,

in the lower part of pelvis, again, are obviously missing.

It does have again the three fingers,

which are very prominent and the three toes

and of course again, still remains a mystery.

Okay, we're looking at the third body here

and of course, it's absence of the head, unfortunately.

For what is probably the most interesting

of all three bodies is this particular one

in a sitting posture which gives us maybe some idea

if this was a real creature,

how it would have maybe moved around.

Again, # here

are the three fingers and three toes.

The sitting posture, what looks to be a vertebrae.

And what's very interesting about this

is that there does seem to be some form of skin.

[mysterious music]

Also on top, we can see what looks to be

the two side muscles holding the support of the neck,

the neck muscles; analysis has taken place on this,

two independent analysis confirmed,

for one from Mexico, one from the United States,

that this is over 1,000 years of age.

And as you can see from that sitting posture,

and you can see what wants to be like a vertebrae,

and we're down, you can see,

the very clear bone structures

throughout it's arms, hands, legs,

and of course feet, not too sure at this moment in time

if this actually represents,

if it has any visible ball joints here in its hips,

is currently unknown, again from its sizing

and its position, probably around about the 24 inches size,

like the other two bodies, again a mystery.

- [Barry] Suddenly, everything changed

as we were introduced to Maria.

[eerie vocalizing music]

- So what we're actually looking at here

is something completely in a different ballpark

than what we've been shown earlier.

By intents and purposes, we're looking at a body

estimated to be 1,800 years old, I believe,

from the analysis currently taking place.

And in a fetal position.

Bone structure, anatomy, legs

look reasonably normal.

Arms look reasonably normal

until we come to the extremities.

The extremities seem to show

only three digits, three toes, no thumbs.

Of course, these acting as balancers,

we can see that is also, which is very interesting,

toenails which we can see on the toes.

We've also got dermal ridging,

like fingerprints on the bottom of the feet,

possibly also on the hands.

Samples have been currently taken.

Now this is a female was initially thought to be a male,

referred to as Albert, or Alberta,

but you see it is a female and now referred to as Maria.

Estimated size around about five-foot-six.

Currently, there's analysis taking place,

DNA analysis taking place to ascertain

if she fully human or not.

What we're actually looking at here, Barry,

is of course, the X-ray of Maria

who we've just been examining.

Clearly massive differences here, massive differences.

We can clearly see the ball joints,

which is a very human trait, obviously, in arms and legs.

We can clearly also see the vertebrae, the backbone

and this is the legs coming up and it's sitting

in a bear position, in its fetal position

and across here very faintly, you can actually see

the fingers which you can see consists of one, two, three,

four, possibly four sections, slightly different

than what else we've seen here, but nevertheless though,

extremely long, and they do look like

connected bone as well.

I wouldn't, I couldn't, I can't see anything here

that leads me to believe it's been

anatomically altered in any way,

but of course, that's what the experts need to tell you,

not myself, but at the end of the day,

what is very interesting is that you can see

how the hand is come across here, needs to be X-rayed.

I believe further X-rays

are going to be taking place, maybe tomorrow.

We're looking at what looks to be human, a human body,

but the most obvious differences being the toes,

being the fingers, and probably the anatomy

of the actual hand and feet because we've noted that

it is a possibility that because the way the feet is,

the feet, the actual way, the layout of it is,

then it would seem that it may not have walked

as a human being probably would, doesn't look like the same,

would have had the same capabilities to do so,

so his walking process may have been significantly different

than anybody, like you or me.

We can see that her teeth, quite relatively intact as well.

Unsure of what age she possibly would have been

when she'd actually died.

You can obviously see the vertebrae here, the collarbone.

Generally, she looks human by all accounts,

except for one thing here, she's missing ear lobes, no ears,

which is a trait often seen in amphibians,

like seals and sea lions.

As to why she has no ears is a mystery.

She does just have a hole in either side.

After receiving a phone call

in the early hours of the morning to confirm

a meeting, someone is going to pick us up

and take us to this so-called secret location.

And the demands that were made, it was just ridiculous,

absolutely ridiculous, no cell phones,

won't be allowed to film.

I mean, I don't know.

Did spark a lot of debate between myself and Barry,

but we thought, "Hell," you know?

No way we're going back halfway back round the world again

without gaining everything we could possibly get

whilst we're here 'cause this is what we do.

Well, nevertheless though, we did reach the location

and we met with a number of gentlemen.

I think there were five of them in question.

Because people are gonna ask why, why, why all the secrecy?

And I don't think it's about hyping up the bodies.

I think it's about the government because we already know

that they're going all over this thing, absolutely.

The police apparently have already raided a number of places

trying to find the damn bodies.

And of course, it's very secret as to where they be.

They want them and they probably want the people

are involved in is because they are probably looking about

10-year stretch each, and that is probably the truth.

We conducted some investigation, some research,

and plenty of footage we were allowed to take of the bodies.

There are certain things that we weren't allowed to show,

weren't allowed to film, but at the end of the day,

we managed to work with them

and hopefully come away with something quite good.

And he started to bring these things out

in a sequential order of size in a sense of speaking

from the smallest to the largest.

And the first body came out,

we placed it on the table sort of delicately

and I was kinda holding back a grin, really,

because it was clearly a fake, absolute fake.

And it was only about 12 inches long.

I've seen this before, he moved his head, excuse the pun,

he made his head around about 2015, 2016

and it had a fish's head, he's got a head of a fish.

Clearly, with fish-type teeth.

His body was a bit of a mixer.

Maybe there are some bones in there,

it's definitely like what you see in the X-rays,

and he looked to be absolutely doctored.

It was definitely doctored.

Then there were three other bodies that were reeled out.

24 inches in size this time.

But something a bit different with these.

These were elongated skulls.

There was apparently from what we were told

a male and a female and one which was undecisive,

he was missing his head and it was in a sitting position.

Now, how did they determine what was a female and male?

Well apparently, there was one of them

that seemed to have three eggs inside her, yes eggs,

which would indicate that well, it's some type of reptilian,

a reptile of some sort.

For me, it's about where is the evidence?

And I asked and apparently, surprisingly,

no analysis have been taken on these two bodies,

the male and the so-called female one,

no analysis whatsoever.

And it's also through, I was looking over the X-rays

and the anatomy, that Barry brought up a really good theory

that the actual skull being slightly elongated

is very, very similar to sloth skulls

and even some parts of the anatomy.

And of course, they even have three claws.

So that's a possibility, that's a strong possibility

that they made a mutant, somebody, someone somewhere

maybe utilized what you can get ahold of

and then added and changed and mixed

and basically created these models which are,

which do actually have some bones in,

which is interesting because obviously

that no one showed up on an X-ray.

The only analysis that has taken place

is done on the third body which is missing his head.

And interestingly, this is an interesting point,

it did seem to have skin on its back, I can confirm that.

It did seem to have some type of skin.

As to what that skin is or what it could be,

I have no idea, but it did seem to have skin.

It would seem to be some protruding maybe,

has as well maybe or ridges or something.

It was really unusual.

We're currently waiting on the DNA to come back

to confirm if this is, thing is real or not.

So those three bodies, you know?

And of course, let me come to the real big bit,

the real crunch, the crunch is how they pulled out this

big box and opened the lid and, hey presto!

There she was in all her glory, Maria.

You know, the one that we've been seeing on the Internet.

And I was like, "Whoa," you know?

Seemed we both were, myself and Barry,

a bit blown away, to be honest,

because this is something, a completely different ballpark,

absolute completely different ballpark.

This a start, there's absolutely no shadow of doubt

that we are dealing with a body here,

and the analysis being, apparently two independent analysis,

two currently images taking place,

shows around about maybe, I think, as far as we know,

1,800 years old, the body,

and of course we didn't even think straight,

wait, it's got three fingers and three toes,

and we'll just ignore that this is, you know,

how often do you get,

that's not an everyday occurrence, is it?

And the first thing I thought was,

"It does have an elongated skull."

Maria does have an elongated skull.

But not to the point where there's extra brain mass.

It could be simply that is, is representation of boarding,

which was a tradition that many cultures did

from an early age.

And of course, we come to the hands and the feet.

Now, I asked the question about the analysis

because apparently analysis been taking place

and we do know the parts where analysis taking place from,

but for me, if I was going in there,

the first thing I'd do is look at what not,

what does it not make it human?

What is it stands out and makes it unusual,

and that is, is it's hands and feet.

So that is the first place I'd be taking samples from.

It's obvious, you take samples

from the locations in question.

If you're going to take samples from under the arm,

around the back, what are we going to come back with?

Well, we're probably gonna come back with a body

of eight, you know, 1,800 years old, you know?

And it's only gonna give us the information

that we currently already know, to be honest with you.

We need to focus on the hands and feet.

And I was actually surprised, 'cause I asked the question.

"Have samples been taken on the hands and feet?"

And the reply was, "No."

Why, why would you not take samples

from the hands and the feet, that's the first thing I'd do,

going in there, I want to know.

I want to know if these hands and these feet,

these toes and fingers belong to that body.

- [Pilot] Flight manager. [upbeat vocalizing music]

[speaking in foreign language]

Thank you, we hope there's other trips with us.

[speaking in foreign language]

[upbeat music]

- We're here in Lima, we've had to take a flight down.

And that's because we want to, we're here to attend

the first international press release,

which is going to be taking place very shortly.

But whilst we were here, we wanted to take the opportunity

to be able to talk to somebody,

a representative of the Ministry of Tourism

and we've got some very interesting facts

when we conducted an interview last night.

Some of the information is quite incredible.

It would seem that these, the government are struggling,

absolutely struggling to contain this problem

about people who hub tomb raiders, pillagers,

you know, whatever they're doing to try

and to get their hold of these artifacts

that seem to be sold and are being sold across the world

by some form of black market.

Lenny, I believe you work for the Ministry of Tourism

here in Peru and you were actually commissioned

to look into the shady world of the black market.

Can I ask you, how damaging is the black market

for the archaeological artifacts of Peru?

- Well, Peru's a country so well-known because of our

heritage, cultural and natural heritage,

and so for us, it's quite important to conserve all of it.

And one of our biggest problems is this black market.

- The black market is one of the biggest problems.

Is there any way to, is there any way

to resolve that problem or is it still happening today?

- This is really a very complex problem, situation,

not only here, also in other countries

with a rich heritage like ours.

I think on a personal level

that includes not only the laws, but also to know the laws.

- So we're dealing something which is international.

- This is a very big chain at international level

because there is still demand.

I consider that all the time

that this demand will continues.

Paying so much, huge amounts of money,

it will exist, this offer,

this supply of this richness. - Right.

And it's still happening today.

- Yes, unfortunately yes, unfortunately

because of the, from time to time,

we discover these pieces all around the world

and our government is still working for recovering them.

- Right. - After a great effort.

- Yeah. - That is not easy.

But unfortunately, they go all across our borders

boundaries now. - Right.

So it's extremely difficult. - Yes, to control.

- To control.

Now, what's interesting is also whilst we're here,

we've talking to a number of people out on the street

and they're all talking about the same thing.

They haven't heard anything about this press conference

which is taking place right under their noses,

nobody seems to know anything.

That's how good the government have been at suppressing

the amount of information getting out there

about today's event.

Also, what we did find is that about a month ago,

there was a lot of information being put out and circulated,

discrediting, discrediting the finds, the discoveries.

And that's fine, we know, we could understand that

and we understand the reasons why it might be taking place

because they do want to suppress this,

that these things are, how many artifacts been found,

stolen, shipped abroad to other countries,

and of course, they're losing the history,

they're losing their Peruvian history, these artifacts

are going all over the place and do want to suppress that

and the only way to really do that

is to just basically call it's fake.

However, what's interesting is that's generally,

that was a month ago, it's all gone quiet now.

This is all happening under the people's noses.

They don't even know.

We've even talked to a number of staff at the hotel

and even those were like, "What?

"What press announcement?"

It's just incredible, we don't see,

people are here already are starting to just turn up

and you know, in the TRO, so it's a real big event.

We've got to try and get to

the crunch of all this information

because we're really having to move fast

'cause things are developing so, so fast at this moment.

We're just trying to keep on our toes.

We sensed at lunchtime today

that something wasn't quite right.

And by the time we got back from lunch, it had arrived.

It was absolute chaos.

Peruvian government event is a press announcement.

So we had to really talk to the head guy who'd arranged this

which is kind of on our side, he said, "No problem.

"I'll send three emails over to the hotel

"informing them that your guy,

"you're the guys that are gonna be filming on our behalf."

Jaime Maussan has been the face of this press conference,

but he also has been having his own problems.

And this is what he had to say.

Thank you for talking with us, Jaime.

I wanted to ask you, you've been at the front of this,

the forefront, the front runner.

You're the face of this discovery, how's it been for you?

- I think the person who deserves this credit

is Thierry Jamin, the French who got the bodies,

who collected everything, who has had the courage

to confront anything to take the risk.

As investigator, probably I helped to really

make this news, these findings go through

to be known by the world

and to understand that this is something real extraordinary

and for me has been probably one of the most

important investigations of my life.

- [Steve] We understand samples

that you've taken with the team amongst other people,

but what is your personal opinion?

What do you think this mummy is?

- I think this mummy is something else.

I don't know if it came from a different planet or not,

but it doesn't look human, all the features you can see

are really something extraordinary, like the big fingers

in the hands with the five phalanges,

the fingers in the foot with four phalanges

are something that are not comparable

to those of human beings.

Also the head, if you see the head, is very big.

If you see the bones in the arm, they are really separated,

something very different that, from our own.

And there are measures, so many more differences

from human beings, then this is not human.

What is it, I don't know; where it came from, I don't know.

We'll find out.

- [Steve] There's been a lot of international interest

in regards this find, but surprisingly and remarkably,

it's been very quiet here in Peru.

We believe the government have been trying to pressure

maybe keeping this quiet.

You went to the Ministry of Culture today.

Could you say anything about how that meeting went?

- No no, I send a letter and I ask for this meeting

because we wanted to present them

before the press conference all the information

we had collected, all the evidences,

all the scientists' analysis,

and we couldn't do it.

They said that we should send an email

and after a while they will answer to us,

and I said, "It's important you do it very fast

"because the bodies are in danger.

"The bodies are really being hurt by being outside.

"They need to be preserved."

They say, "Yeah, sure we will," but that was all.

I know that the attitude of the government,

the Ministry of Culture is just to reject this finding.

This is really disturbing,

because the real victim here is the truth.

And I think that the truth should go to the world,

the people in, around the world

deserves the truth about this.

- [Steve] Absolutely, I mean, we believe,

we've been led to believe that

what's going to be discussed tomorrow

at the first international press announcement,

that the information could potentially just,

not just change the planet,

but literally the whole universe.

I mean, at the end of the day,

the information has got to come out.

- Yeah, that's the plan, to present this to the world

and the world will decide how good is this investigation,

how good the evidences are and they're trying to stop this

because they are fearful that this could be truth.

They will have to rewritten

the books of history, everything we know should change

or could change, I don't know.

And it seems that it's too much for many, many people

and that is why, even without the evidence,

even without the bodies,

even without looking closely to this discovery,

they are saying that this is not true,

couldn't be true, that is all.

- [Steve] If it is successful tomorrow,

and we do manage to get this information out

as best as we possibly can,

do you think this is going to help the Inkari Institute

to carry on their research?

- Oh yeah, the attention of the world,

if we can convince that we are honest,

if we can convince them that

there is no other interest than the truth,

if we can convince the world that the evidences are real,

then everything should change and the Inkari Institute

should attract all the attention from the world

and that is why I think

tomorrow we will decide or they will decide

or everybody will decide what is the future of humanity

because it is not just this discovery.

If we cannot prove that these bodies are something else,

then we won't be able to prove it ever.

This physical evidence for the first time

is in the hands of society

and they want to take it away from us.

Don't you realize that?

Don't you realize what is in play here tomorrow?

I hope people will understand and will support this

because the evidences speak by themselves.

You will hear the scientists.

You will hear everybody that is around here,

this investigation, you will see the documents

of the investigation with carbon-14, with the DNA.

You will find out how close we are

to really understand that things are not

like we have thought they were in the past.

This is a different world

and the reality's very, very different

than what we thought.

- [Steve] I think the timing tonight to be very coincidental

for the government and a lot of scientists

to come out tonight just prior to the event tomorrow

to try and put their story forward and say it's all fake.

But how can they do that if they've not seen or examined?

How can they do that?

- Because the scientists in Peru

and probably around the world are very fearful.

They organized an event today, just to declare

that our findings are a hoax, they are a fraud.

They haven't seen them, they don't have the body,

they don't have the X-rays, they don't have the cat skulls,

they don't have anything, and besides that,

they have not presented anything.

There is not one single evidence,

one single proof that backs their words.

This is amazing, I cannot believe what is happening here.

I cannot believe it people even

think or listen to these people.

For example, a taxidermist the other, they saying that,

"Oh, there is a mafia in Peru

"that they are creating this kind of hoaxes."

And because you came with Gaia and so on,

then they made this mummy for you.

Are we so stupid, are we so gullible

that we will accept anything they give to us?

Absolutely not, before we say anything, we investigate it

and we were convinced that this is real,

otherwise we wouldn't have presented.

- What the government are doing is that they're discrediting

any of these discoveries that have been found.

And they're doing this without ever

laying a single finger on any of the bodies.

- [Barry] Meanwhile, members of the scientific

community within Peru banded together

and this is what they had to say.

"In the last few months, the alleged discovery

"of extraterrestrial mummies in our country

"has been publicized through an irresponsible

"organized disinformation campaign.

"Testimonies and published images of this case

"allow to assert that these findings correspond

"undoubtedly to pre-Columbian human remains,

"cultural patrimony of the nation,

"maliciously manipulated and even mutilated

"to obtain an ad-hoc appearance for commercial exploitation.

"Moreover, the exclusion of the entire related

"archaeological context is absolutely

"contrary to the scientific investigation

"of this kind of cultural finds.

"It is upon our authorities

"to make the corresponding accusations,

"since this production has numerous

"national and international norms

"that watch for the defense of cultural heritage.

"We hope these same authorities will seek the protection

"and correct investigation of these remains

"and their place of origin in order to stop looting

"and trafficking of human remains.

"We also expect exemplary sanctions

"for those responsible of this depredation of heritage

"that is of all Peruvians

"and humanity as a whole.

"Finally, the criminal abuse of corpses for petty ends

"violates human dignity in a profound way,

"thus exploitation of pre-Columbian mummies

"carried out by this organization

"attacks and particularly offends the Andean culture,

"implying that its achievements were due

"to an illegal alien aid.

"We offer our best offices to collaborate

"with the authorities to demonstrate our statements

"in the corresponding instances.

"We also offer to participate in activities

"that would defend our patrimony

"and help educate the public

"about our ancestors and their legacy.

"Lima, 10th of July 2017.

- After working through some of the problems today,

we managed to catch up with Dr. Edson Vivanco,

a skeletal specialist, and he was more than happy to answer

a few of our questions.

- Dr. Jose Benitez, a forensics specialist,

had his own descriptive interpretation.

In your professional opinion,

have you found any unusualities, anything strange?

- [Steve] Wonderful, just one last question.

How important is it for this information

to get out with the announcement tomorrow?

- We're here at the press conference,

the international press conference,

the very first one has taken place in Lima, Peru.

[attendees chattering]

[attendees applauding]

[attendees applauding]

- And what we've had to actually digest

in this presentation that's just taken place,

I mean, it's quite a long one and a lot of questions

and a lot of material, literally an overload of material,

and there was some very interesting things regarding

the anatomical report, now this particular report,

it features, we first, when we thought looking at Maria,

that she only had one, two anomalies.

Okay, her hands, her feet,

maybe a slightly elongated head,

no ears, and that was pretty much it.

But no, no, ha ha ha, far from it.

Apparently this anatomical report features

that one, two, three, four, five, it just keeps going,

six, seven, eight, nine, 10

and the list goes on of these anomalies in the body,

things that you wouldn't find in a human body.

The shaping of the bones, minor little details,

far too many that I can explain, I can't explain that.

And she's an absolute wondrous work of art, you know?

Which she should be on display somewhere, you know?

Or, she's real, one of the two.

I wouldn't want to, I want to want to call it.

And of course, not just that.

Now there's a big thing in regarding the,

this powder, this white powder.

It's been mentioned many times over the Internet

since its release over social media

that people think it's plaster.

It's plaster, it's fake, it's plaster.

Well, we've got news, guys.

The news is out, it's not plaster.

In fact, we actually know what its name is

and it is, and it's also purposely apparently

put on the body as a preservative.

It kills bacteria, keeps things in a dry,

in a dry conditions, keep things perfect

for a very, very long time.

Exactly what we're actually seeing in Maria.

And apart from that, there's also more information

regarding the, from a biologist that was there as well.

Their report came forward and that was really interesting.

Of course, the downside of it is today,

is that they've kind of come out half-guns.

What they've done is, they've gone under a press conference,

the first international press conference of all

in the capital of Peru

and they've not brought all the guns with them.

In fact, they left the cannons at home.

There is not any information from the DNA yet.

It's still out there, it's still being conducted.

I know it takes time, I know it takes money,

but surely you probably hold back,

don't not send you infantry in without your cannons,

you know, your cannons need to be drawn.

And of course, they haven't done that.

So, do you know what?

Very good, excellent in regarding the information,

regarding the bone structure anomalies in Marie, Maria

and also the other anomalies found, but no DNA

and that basically means that it took a dive-bomb.

As far as we're concerned, it went flat.

What they needed is DNA

and if they hadn't, didn't have the DNA,

they maybe should have held off on the press conference

until they had it.

- [Barry] We've recorded our findings

and boarded a flight back to the UK,

leaving behind a black-market of bribes,

grave robbing, and deceit.

Although we can sympathize with the Peruvian government

and its attempts to suppress the hemorrhage

of ancient artifacts, we strongly disagree with the way

it tried to discredit the mummified remains

before any tests had been confirmed.

So it comes to this.

Strong scientific analysis and results are necessary

to prove or disprove the claims posed by both camps.

The results need to be viewed by the world

and not a back alley boardroom

where possible life-changing discoveries such as these

can easily be buried again.

We have the results.

We are going to tell the world.

And we are going to expose the truth.

[dramatic music]
