- In recent days a considerable number of UFO sightings
have been recported in this locality, mainly in the southern region.
-
- The latest and clearest sighting took place last Sunday
and filmed evidence of the presence of a circular UFO, surrounded by multicolored
lights, was captured near the city of Ticul. This city remains the focal
point for such encounters, according to groups devoted to "night watches",
except that on this occasion clearer images were obtained.
-
- Silvestre Leal and Emilio Cetz Aguiar, in charge of the
Sociedad Internacional de Rastreo e Investigacion OVNI (Sirio) were responsible
for filming the "craft".
-
- The event occurred on Sunday the 12th during the celebration
of the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and whose encounter had a duration
of some two minutes approximately, although only 54 seconds of video footage
were obtained. 150 photographs were obtained for detailed study. Their
pixels were analyzed along with their clarity (sic) to confirm that they
indeed showed a UFO.
-
- The object in question is a circular structure that was
at a height of between 40 to 50 meters over the ground of the "San
Benito" Football Field, explained Cetz Aguiar. He described the "craft"
as measuring some 5 meters in diameter with an orange center bordered by
lights of various colors, of which blue, green and red were the predominant
hues. It made no sound whatsoever, he added. Intial tests aimed at ascertaining
if the object was a UFO were made during the encounter, but given its shape
and movement, other possibilities -- an airplane or a helicopter -- were
discarded. The possibility of a balloon was also dismissed, despite the
festivities of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the "Feria del Zapato"
being held nearby, since the object was moving against the direction of
the prevailing winds.
-
- He added that the purpose of the visit was to verify
a UFO video taken by Ivan Garma -- a Ticul resident -- in recent days.
-
- "After determining that Garma wasn't home, we toured
the city and I suddenly thought I saw the object, but there was so much
light that I lost it. The time was around 21:00 hours."
-
- Subsequently, he continued, the object appeared at another
location, and when he took out his camcorder, it lost itself amid the buildings
of the community.
-
- Both members of the Grupo Sirio decided to mount a "night
watch" at the Soccer Field and were rewarded for their efforts, since
the object appeared again--and this time much closer. The sighting took
place at 22:15 hours and could be the same object filmed on two earlier
occasions--August and October-- by members of a family surnamed Mata.
-
- The UFO "wave" in the southern region began
last August to such a degree that up to 400 people would meet in the very
same field where the flying artifact was recorded, hoping for an encounter.
