WHAT ARE THE NAZCA MUMMIES AND ARE THEY REAL?
A group of self-proclaimed paranormal researchers claim they have found proof of aliens near the city of Nazca in Peru.
The team say they have found a number of mysterious three-fingered 'mummified humanoid' with elongated skulls.
Early last year, the group recorded a short documentary of a research trip into a cave near Nazca, where they found what appeared to be a mummified body.
The body was found covered in white powder, which the team say was used to preserve the remains.
They claim that carbon dating samples of the body dates between 245 – 410 AD, though the validity of these tests has not yet been verified.
Since this find, the group say they have found at least five other alien bodies in the region of similar sizes and proportions.
Some conspiracy theorists think the three-fingered mummies, found last year, may be the remains of alien visitors to Earth.

But not everyone is convinced by the finds, with one UFO expert saying the 'extraterrestrials' are plastercast models made as part of an elaborate hoax.
Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson, author of Haynes UFO Investigations Manual, told MailOnline last year: 'I'm no expert on ancient mummified bodies but they tend to be more leatherish looking.
'This seems to be a plastercast over a bone structure with three fingers attached to the hands. Such hoaxes are the product of wishful thinking mixed with greed and a lust for publicity.'
Jamie Maussan, an ex-investigative journalist who is infamous for his involvement in several high-profile UFO hoaxes, was part of the Peruvian mummy team.
In May 2015, he promoted photographic slides claiming to be pictures of an alien recovered from the Roswell flying saucer crash of 1947 that were later proved to be fake.
The group's lead researcher Dr Konstantin Korotkov of Russia's Saint Petersburg University has previously stirred controversy when he claimed he had invented a camera that can photograph the soul.
