Two humanoid dolls seized from a shipment to Mexico have been studied by Peruvian forensic experts.
Rumors circled that the dolls had been created by aliens, but experts found that wasn't the case.
Instead, the mysterious figures were found to have been made of paper, glue, and animal bones.

At least we know they're not aliens, forensic experts in Peru said Friday about two humanoid doll-like figures and an apparent three-fingered hand that was seized by customs authorities in the South American country last year from a shipment heading to Mexico.
