In late December 2001 the Peruvian Air Force set up an Office for the Investigation of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (OIFAA), reportedly after a televised sighting over Lima's La Molina district. The office later lapsed and was relaunched as DIFAA in 2013.
Peru's air force said it was reviving DIFAA, an office set up in 2001 to study anomalous aerial phenomena that had been dormant for about five years, citing a rise in reported sightings. Col. Julio Vucetich said it would pair air force staff with scientists and take public reports.
Experts working for Peru's prosecutors examined figures seized by customs and said they were dolls built from animal and human bones held with modern synthetic glue. Similar bodies had been shown to Mexico's Congress in 2023 as possible non-human life.
