INEXPLICATA The Journal of Hispanic
Ufology August 2006 ============================================================= Possible UFO Videotaped in Culhuacan, Mexico City On Monday, August 7, 2006, the Cruz Molina family witnessed the
transit of a possible UFO that traveled at low altitude over the district of
Culhuacán, southeast of the Mexican capital. The video has a duration of 13 seconds and was recorded by Mr. Arturo
Cruz Granados at 15:30 hours using a Sony TRV-328 camera. The exulting voices of the eyewitnesses are heard on the recording, as
well as the propeller sounds of a helicopter flying over the area.
Almost at the end of the video, it
can be seen that the object rotated on its own axis until it lost itself
behind a house. The first to become aware of the
event was Aldair de Jesus, 13, who was looking through his bedroom window. When
he noticed that something was flying over the trees, according to his own
account, he reached for binoculars in order to see it better. Subsequently,
his parents did the same. Mr. Cruz shot the video tape and says that he lost
a great deal of time in preparing the camera. Therefore, the probable
sighting had a duration in excess of the video.
As part of the investigation, I
interviewed the witnesses on two separate occasions, inspected the original
recording and visited the site of the events, concluding that it was a real
occurrence. The video is not a hoax and does not show signs of digital
manipulation.
Since the time I presented the
video on Mexican television, I have received many e-mails from other people
who claim having seen [the object] and who ratify that it was a UFO. However,
no further evidence has been presented. It is worth noting that a similar
object was recorded in Azcapotzalco in northern Mexico City in September
2004. Considering the possibility that
it could have been some sort of balloon, it would have had to be one of
considerable size, with a specific reason for moving horizontally over
various sectors of Culhuacán, according to reports, further executing
rotations at various speeds. =============================================================== Translation (c) 2005. Scott Corrales, Institute of
