THE NAZCA "alien mummies" are set to undergo tests in an attempt to prove their authenticity.
Self-proclaimed UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims that the tiny "non-humans" from Peru are proof of extraterrestrial life as he vows to solve their mystery.
The possibility that the mummies are alien-human "hybrids" has been raised by Maussan, whose controversial research has been causing debate for almost ten years.
His scientific colleagues have also declared that the new specimens include "30 percent unknown" DNA.
Critics, however, still question his claims.

The alleged aliens were stumbled upon by shocked explorers and caused mass speculation over where they came from.
Maussan made headlines last year when he presented two mummies discovered in Palpa and Nazca, Peru to the Mexican Government.
The journalist and researcher has now said that more in-depth "analyses are being done" as he is locked in a legal battle with Peru to ship the "mummies" to more advanced labs in the US.
He told DailyMail.com: "The lawsuit is already in for $300 million.
"We are going to negotiate with Peru to be allowed to export the samples to be done in America."
The drama over the bodies occurred amid an increasing public policy discussion over UFOs, with politicians in the United States following the example of government whistleblowers and Ivy League experts in asking for more open inquiry into the mystery.
Maussan's feud with his critics reached a boiling point in April, when authorities invaded a press conference he was holding in Peru with the intention of taking one of the freshly mummified remains on show, called Montserrat.
Meanwhile, fellow investigator and journalist Jois Mantilla backs the controversial claim that the Nazca "alien mummies" are real and that DNA evidence proves they co-existed with humans.
'CHANGING HISTORY'
Mantilla, who worked closely with the mummies to identify their origins, believes he's made a breakthrough DNA discovery that could "change the course of history" and is more important than the moon landing.
The Peruvian journalist who has been leading the investigation into the mummies, believes they are thousands of years old and once walked among humans.

Jois says he has proof showing the figures are previously undiscovered creatures who existed 1800 years ago in tandem with civilisation.
He exclusively told The Sun details of his most "profound" and chilling find yet.
He claims that one of the most recent mummies found "Montserrat" has a three-fingered "tridactyl" foetus inside her.
He claims that this disproves the notion that the bodies are dolls as he says it would be impossible for sculptures to make them appear pregnant.
He also says the mummies have a bizarre DNA makeup that could not be created by modern-day technology.
Jois said: "There is documented and verifiable DNA which implies that four genes were combined to create a being.
"That cannot be done now even with all our technology.
"Even with all the money and all the science in the world, this cannot be done by a human."
Jois is certain his findings will "change the course of history" and compared their significance to major historical events - such as the moon landing or discovering the earth was flat.
He added that even archaeologists are baffled by the mummies and only say that they are "anthropomorphic beings" but cannot offer further explanation.
"There is physical evidence that human beings have coexisted with another species similar to ours," he said.
Jois thinks "This changes absolutely everything for them."
Although the reporter is sure the "evidence" is compelling, others were not convinced.
Flavio Estrada, an archaeologist with Peru's Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences said: "They are not extraterrestrials, they are not intraterrestrials, they are not a new species, they are not hybrids.
"They are none of those things that this group of pseudo-scientists who for six years have been presenting with these elements."
"He added they're dolls made from animal bones from this planet joined together with modern synthetic glue.
"It's totally a made-up story."
