The Mexican Alien Bodies meme originated in September 2023 when journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan presented two alleged 'non-human' specimens to the Mexican Congress during an official hearing. These mummified figures, featuring small frames, three-fingered hands, and elongated skulls, were claimed to be over 1,000 years old. The internet immediately reacted with a mix of fascination and skepticism, quickly turning the shriveled, white-powdered appearance of the 'aliens' into a relatable visual for being physically exhausted, hungover, or socially awkward. The meme is widely used to represent the feeling of being 'spent' or 'done with life,' often drawing comparisons between the dehydrated look of the specimens and one's own physical state after a long day.
