- Six UFOs Reported Over Tapachula
-
- Six "spheres" flew over Pemex facilities; maneuvered
above a storage terminal
-
- An unidentified flying object (UFO and six large luminous
spheres were detected flying over the Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos--Ed.)
facilities in Tapachula, according to the Disaster Prevention Officer Juan
Carlos Zuñiga Rodríguez.
-
- He said that the craft, having the shape of a circular
plate the size of a commercial airliner, performed flight maneuvers over
the Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) Storage and Distribution Terminal
at an altitude no greater than 1000 meters and abnormal speed and direction
changes.
-
- Me mentioned that a variety of photographs were taken
and that upon developing it was discivered that at least six luminous spheres
were flying over the area at the same altitude, although smaller in size
than the craft.
-
- All of this material was presented to researcher Jaime
Maussan, who immediately commenced the verification of their authenticity
by means of sophisticated devices.
-
- He stated that the tests yielded postive results regarding
a central object made of unidentified material, and which appeared to be
covered by some sort of radiation very similar to that of the spheres.
In other word, the authenticity of the photographs was corroborated.
-
- He insisted that in order to make the event known, the
corresponding authorization had to be secured from the main offices of
the quasi-state organization. Added to this was the factor of awaiting
the outcome of Maussan's investigations.
-
- Zúñiga Rodríguez said that according
to data obtained from professional spotters, UFOs have been frequent in
this region around the oil facilities and points adjacent to the Izapa
archaeological region, close to where the "Tree of Life, Creation
of the Universe" stele is located.
-
- There are also reports of fly-overs in the vicinity of
the inactive "Tacaná" volcano which separates Mexico from
Guatemala.
