Two mummified alien specimens, purported to be around 1,000 years old, were displayed at Mexico’s Congress on Wednesday.
What Happened: Pompliano, widely known as Pomp in the crypto community, expressed his surprise and disbelief regarding the unveiled skeletons. Pompliano questioned why there was a lack of public attention given to such a significant discovery. “Mexico unveiled alien skeletons that are believed to be 1,000 years old, and almost no one cares,” he said.
Responding to skeptics who denounce the authenticity of the alleged alien corpses, Pompliano shared a Twitter thread that provides evidence suggesting otherwise. While acknowledging that the odds of these beings being actual extraterrestrial life are slim, Pompliano added, “IT COULD BE ACTUAL ALIENS “.
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) co-creator, Billy Markus, expressed his skepticism regarding the authenticity of the displayed specimens, stating, “they’re fake, dude.”
Markus replied, “pretty near 100%, but there are probably aliens cuz space is somewhat large.”
