Among the bones of what some have claimed are mummies of aliens, doctors found strange and complex metallic structures. 

The dozen strange specimens, known as 'Nazca Tridactyls', were believed to belong to Peru and were found by anonymous local 'huaqueros' (tomb raiders).

The doctors said that they removed a "light metal" implant from the palm of the new specimen, reported The Daily Mail.

A video was recorded of the dissection in which a physician was seen carefully pulling out the suspected 'alien implant' from the severed, three-fingered hand of Nazca Tridacty with tweezers.

The metal was removed by the Mexican Navy forensic doctor and examiner Dr Jose Zalce Benitez.

"It is a very complex metal alloy that requires special knowledge and techniques to be able to achieve it with such quality and purity," Benitez said.

"It was possible to identify elements such as aluminium, tin, silver, copper, cadmium and osmium among others in smaller quantities and percentages," he added.

In the video, one of the mummified hands was peeled back and its metacarpal' or 'palm' bones were revealed.

"This tridactyl hand, from which I obtained the metal, does not belong to any of the bodies presented at the Mexican Congress," Dr Zalce said. 

"This hand is part of a series of loose pieces that belong to the place where the tridactyl bodies of Peru were found," added the physician and forensic expert.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, reporter Fernando Correa Dominguez said that the hand was rehydrated by the doctors to remove the "metal implant."

Earlier, Correa said that "they did not see any moisture inside the hand, [only] dehydrated skin tissue was observed inside the tendons and muscles." 

Speaking about the procedure in detail, Dr Zalce said, "We used a forensic technique to protect the tissue and minimize its degradation [...] a special serum that is used for the rehydration of corpses that has very specific concentration percentages."

"We use sterile swabs with a soft surgical cotton tip to avoid any type of damage or contamination to both the metal sample and the tridactyl hand," he added.
