José Jaime Maussan Flota, born in Mexico City on May 31, 1953, is a Mexican journalist and television presenter and one of Latin America's best-known promoters of UFO claims. He studied at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and Miami University and has worked as a reporter since 1970 for El Sol de México, XEX Radio and Televisa, including the 24 Horas newscast and as a US correspondent for Jacobo Zabludovsky's Domingo a Domingo. In 1990 the UN Environment Programme named him to its Global 500 Roll of Honour.
UFOs became his main subject after a 1991 broadcast with Nino Canún that ran more than eleven and a half hours on the topic. Over the following decades several exhibits he promoted were identified as ordinary objects or fabrications: the "Metepec creature" proved to be a skinned monkey, a 2016 "demon fairy" contained bat remains, wooden sticks and epoxy, and a mummified body unveiled as an alien at a 2015 event called Be Witness was identified as a human child. In 2020 he was scheduled to take part in a Senate forum promoting Hydrotene, an unproven COVID-19 product, until public backlash forced its cancellation.
His largest controversy concerns the Nazca mummies. In 2017 he presented a three-fingered body from near Nazca in a Gaia video; a Peruvian prosecutor's report that year described the alleged bodies as recently made dolls covered in paper and synthetic glue. On September 12, 2023, at the Mexican Congress's first public hearing on UFOs, he displayed two small bodies, testifying under oath that they were about 1,000 years old, that they came from a diatomaceous earth mine in Peru and that nearly a third of their DNA was of unknown origin. UNAM said its laboratory had only carbon-dated a sample and reached no conclusion about its origin. A State Department cable recording testimony from Maussan and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves was among the federal UAP records released in 2026.
In November 2023 Maussan returned with doctors who said the bodies came from once-living organisms but did not certify them as extraterrestrial; he said none of the scientists claimed that, "but I go further." In January 2024 forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada of Peru's Institute of Legal Medicine presented the analysis of two figures seized by Peruvian customs the previous October, reportedly bound for a Mexican citizen. He said they were dolls assembled from animal and human bones with modern synthetic glue: "They are not extraterrestrials, they are not intraterrestrials, they are not a new species."
In 2025 Maussan launched Maussan Televisión on Grupo Imagen's broadcast multiplexes and became the public custodian of the Buga sphere, a metal object reported over Colombia's Valle del Cauca in March 2025, whose claimed anomalous properties have not been confirmed in any independently published analysis. In May 2026 he announced a second, similar sphere from Valdivia, Antioquia, and in July he introduced Lue Elizondo as a collaborator on his channel. For more than three decades he has been one of the region's most prominent UFO broadcasters, and his most publicized exhibits have repeatedly been contradicted by forensic and scientific examination.
A bizarre creature with elongated limbs, a long tail and unusually prominent claws has emerged from the shadows in northern Mexico. The strange case has attracted the attention of Jaime Maussan, one of Mexico’s best-known UFO researchers. He has named the alleged creature the Creature of the Juárez Valley, after the rural region near Ciudad Juárez, close to the United States border

Have a look at this clip. It’s official: Luis Elizondo is now a regular contributor on Jaime Maussan’s channel. You actually couldn't make this up. Isn't this bloke supposed to be in the running to be appointed as the next US "UFO Czar"? Imagine the guy tipped to head a major US government office on national security and UAPs, casually sharing a platform with the king of the "Nazca mummies" and those Bogus SPheres. It’s a proper joke. Going from testifying under oath to Congress to validating...

Recovered by William Zuniga in Colombia’s Valdivia mountains, it mirrors the Buga Sphere in shape, construction, and surf...
