Five Airliner Crews Report UFO Sightings over Mexico

Wednesday July 23, 2008
From my friend Scott Corales at Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology, comes this recent report from Mexico. Often, these reports take some time to reach me.

On March 23, 2008, between 20:00 and 20:40 hours, five airliner crews reported UFO sightings over Mexico. All witnesses agreed on the traffic being intensely brilliant, with lights resembling airliner strobes. The objects were described as brilliant spheres that were also surrounded by lights.

One of the pilots, the one who flew closest to the UFOs, added that they had a pentagon-shaped base. The objects went up and down, making movements that could not be matched by an airliner. At that time they were flying at 25,000 feet, 70 miles northwest of Guadalajara, Jalisco.

The airliners followed different routes and according to the triangulation between pilots and air traffic controlers, the UFOs should have been at the center of the triangle formed by Guadalajara, Aguascalientes, and Bajio.

Aircraft involved:

ATR42, Aeromar

Boeing 737-800, Aeroméxico

Boeing 737-200, Aviacsa

Focker 100, Click de Mexicana

Airbus A320, Mexicana de Aviación

Billy Booth,

Thank you for reporting this. IMO reports by airline crews (multiple) have an added fisson. In an area notorious for scams, this is interesting. Although by nature sceptical, I have my own single sighting back in 1976 in UK which I never quite explain. If not for that I would dismiss it all.

Thank you,

Richard Sleep

Mr BillyBooth,

Sorry for my multiple posts here, but it occours to me that if anyone might be interested in my own 1976 sighting (along with 6/7 other people) I have posted a full account to the best of my recollection under my nick “RSleepy” on the ufocasebook site.

Thanks again,

Richard.

What I don’t understand, is if this sighting was seen by so many legitimate airline pilots, why hasn’t it been reported in any of the US newspapers?

The date of march is wrong, it is July, I was there, I have a video that doesn’t show the objects but my sister has one that shows them. It was a fleet and remained there for about 1 to 2 hours. and the press was also there. “Mural” newspaper. This is not the first time I see these things over my house, one of them was above my head, few feet above me. There were many witnesses.
