UFOWATCHDOG.COM is simply amazed at how anyone could give self proclaimed UFO investigator Jaime Maussan any credibility. Maussan has a long history and track record of promoting and endorsing one UFO hoax after another. But, for whatever reason, Maussan somehow remains a darling of the UFO community. Frankly, it is the opinion of this website that Maussan's UFO antics and baseless claims have done the field much harm and he is an embarassment to serious investigation. Maussan appears to be much more interested in sensationalism than in doing any actual investigative work. For a guy boasting that he is the Mike Wallace of Mexico, it sure doesn't show. Here a few samples of Maussan's so-called UFO investigative work and some of the outlandish claims he has made and that people have paid to hear...

CLAIM: Maussan claims the photo below was the best photo ever taken of a giant UFO in space.

FACT: The photo appearing in the October 6, 1997 issue of "Contacto Ovni Magazine" is actually that of a galaxy forming, not a UFO.

CLAIM: Maussan claims 'Dr.Reed' UFO case is real and scientific evidence supports it. Maussan claims his alleged intelligence contacts within the military warned him that the case is real and very dangerous. Maussan takes 'Dr.Reed' on a national speaking tour of Mexico and creates a media campaign to promote the case. These speaking engagements sell out at many locations.

FACT: 'Dr.Reed' and his entire case have been exposed as a fraud. Maussan is challenged to produce his alleged scientific evidence and fails. Maussan and associates claim to have thoroughly investigated 'Dr.Reed' and to have established his claims, evidence, and witnesses. Claims of an alleged alien device being of extraterrestrial origin are never proven in spite of Maussan claiming the bunk device utilized advanced nano-technology. Not a grain of proof is ever forthcoming from Maussan to back any of his claims.

CLAIM: Claimed that 1996 daylight footage of a UFO (left) had been thoroughly analyzed and there were over 100 witnesses.

FACT: Footage was found to be FX fake. Along with digital manipulation, it was also found the sound track on the video was also inserted.

CLAIM: Was saying that UFO video shot from a helicopter in New York City was real and had been analyzed.

FACT: Video was a hoax produced by the Sci-Fi Channel.

CLAIM: Publicly stated it had been confirmed that the comet Hale-Bopp was bringing giant motherships to evacuate the planet.

FACT: No mother ships, planet still here along with population. Hale-Bopp UFO hoax exposed as a fraud by Jeff Rense.

CLAIM: Maussan said he had radar tapes confimrming presence of UFOs in Mexico's airspace.

FACT: To date, no such evidence has been brought forward.

CLAIM: Maussan claims that he investigated a case where an airliner collided with a UFO in Mexico. Also claimed that "tons" of evidence and documents supported the case.

FACT: No evidence was ever produced.

CLAIM: Promoted alleged alien photo as being real and impossible to replicate.

FACT: Photo was easily replicated. Maussan, in spite of being told it was fake prior to the story running at Rense.com, insisted the photo was genuine even after being told it was a fake.

CLAIM: Maussan said there were gigantic UFO motherships orbiting the planet disguised as stars.

FACT: When asked for proof, Maussan exclaimed that was why the stars in the night sky moved - because they were UFOs!

So, does this sound like a credible and competent investigator to you? If it does, Maussan will gladly take your money at the door. Sorry, no refunds...
