Great Video from Mexico City

Wednesday July 8, 2009
Here is a very interesting video that I would like all of you to check out. It has been a hot topic across the UFO community, and when you see it, you will know why. Some researchers claim that this may help solve the mystery of the so-called "orbs."

Taken in daylight over Mexico City, Mexico, by Pedro Hernandez and hosted by the well known Mexican UFO enthusiast, Jamie Maussan, the video shows a yellow UFO which spits out numerous small orbs in the sky.

The language is Spanish, of course, but there are a number of English subtitles that will fill you in on the details. Check it out at UFO Shown Emitting Orbs over Mexico City, Mexico.

I assure you this is not your typical "orb" video. I am very interested in what you make of this, so please comment freely.

Sorry billy, but you must be an idiot to believe that was real

This video is pretty interesting, but could these orbs be simply natural effects, like aurora borealis ?
I do not see “intelligent” maneuvers whatsoever.

It is interesting video. As this footage is so popular, it would be interesting to know if there has been any analysis done on this specific original video, the camera, interviewing other eye witnesses, seeing if others in Mexico City, that day, also photographed or video recorded it. I wish that some investigative organization standardized not just reporting sightings but also standardized following up (researching) the sights (and any resulting footage, photos, etc.)as a routine step after receiving a reported sighting.

billy,

this is some of the most frighteningly detailed footage ive ever seen!

for some reason i felt utter revulsion
as i watched it…

and felt nauseated like i wanted
to throw up…

i wonder why that is?
hmmmmmm…

perhaps it is because these things
are NOT the friendly benevolent
entities some people try
to make them out to be?!

but yes, incredible footage,

if its real…

thank you,
have nice day,

Very similar to what I saw in 2007

you saw a discharge from the jet engines accelerating in the wake of the vortex.

I agree with rick. This isn’t faked. I have seen things, including a rod in my daughter’s tree.(on a photo) I too felt creepy while watching, not sure why. I always see the good in things, but I’m not sure about this. I do believe they exist and feel they have been here for a very long time. I am curious just what it all means.

As much as I believe in extraterrestrial life, this video just seems to fake. The movement of the orbs just adds to the appearance that they, and the UFO, were added in after the video was filmed.

(10) snake says:

is it real, unknown, that’s why their called UNidentified, spooky yes, the only reason a craft would make itself known in broad daylight would be some kind of accident or oxygen gathering procedure, which tells us they breath what we do, or its hostile and just testing defenses. In any case, well probably never know if this was authentic or not. It almost looks plastic, i wonder, in any case real or not, nothing bad happened, i’m just waiting for the day it does.

(11) George LaMontagne says:

Sorry. Blobs in the sky on a poorly focused and jittery video does not constitute proof of anything in particular.
Not that ETVs are not real, however. We simply have no real good evidence that holds up to close scrutiny. Thousands have seen them, including myself.

(12) MAJIC 12 says:

“Orb-Like” objects departing from apparent UFO craft is not a new
discovery.The Military are aware of glowing metallic balls that are the size of a basketball that are unpiloted intelligently guided probes
that encircle the disk or cigar-shaped craft as if to gather information
in a military zone,telemetry, threat assessment and nuclear storage.
These have been seen and chased by our jet aircraft over our most sensative installations,without being successfully shot-down.-Ref.

It would have been nice if it were in English, therefore, it was of no interest to me.

I guess if a little ET came and sat in their lap,maybe they would believe.Read your Bible. What about Elojah’s wheel within a wheel coming down from the heavens. Other things too
People being ‘taken up;. How else would peop;e fron those times describe those things? I surely believe.

(15) stewart grieve says:

I think that most people just don’t want to believe that it is happening so try to make jokes and discredit perfectly good footage as a way of making themselves feel more secure and safe in their blinkered world. This is stunning and clearly not a fake and yet so many of you say it is, or some sort of optical illusion, come on people, this is something really wierd and surely worth further investigation. Are the mexican government doing anything about it? Have they made a statement? Can anyone translate what is being said?

Watching this video, one thinks of a being giving birth to children. It looks like a living being to me, not a UFO. And I do beleive in UFO’s as I have seen many all over the world in my lifetime.
The way the small ones “dance” around the one large one implies a relationship outside of “mechanical” and leaves one to think that they dance in joy around a birth mother.
I find it quite beautiful, and think that if you believe that creatures that inhabit the outer reaches of space can’t come into the atmosphere of a planet to have their children, then we as human beings truly have no imagination. We are blessed that “she” chose us!

(18) keith says:

If this footage is genuine, it looks to me like our atmosphere was being “seeded” by, and with, something. Why this would be done in front of witnesses, of course, is any one’s guess. Bear in mind that there is overbearing evidence for chemtrails, etc, what better way to introduce a drug of some kind to the masses in one easy go.
I think we should bear in mind also, that what seem to be irrational movements or actions to us would probably make perfect sense once the purpose is explained, and maybe we shouldn’t assume that alien logic works the same as ours. The limited vocabulary of Ezekiel forced his to explain things in the only way he could, in the parlance of his times, so how would we explain future technology, or it’s purpose without knowledge of it’s function and the purpose behind it.
I also don’t think we should be so cruel to the debunkers, scepticism is healthy and keeps the subject alive and makes us search deeper. At least they are taking the time to look whether they believe it or not, while others cower behind their settee, flatly refusing to open their eyes.
I would ask these sceptics to go to http://www.ufocasebook.com/060809.html and scroll down the page to the Delamere Forest Incident. It is my personal experience and still affects me very deeply 35 years later. I wonder how it might’ve affected them.

This is some of the most interesting footage I have ever seen. As always, the object cannot automatically be interpreted as being an ET craft or, for that matter, anything else. However, the observed behavior deserves serious analysis.

The first thing I want to know is whether there were any other witnesses or even videos of this event. Given that Mexico City seems to be a UFO hotspot these days, it would seem that there would be more people there keeping an eye to the sky than would be usual. That would tend to imply that any event that occurs as openly as this one apparently did would have more than one witness.

What we CAN say is that the object depicted on this footage is not any type of aircraft known to be in use by any country in the world. One could posit that the object is a balloon carrying fireworks charges, but this theory is immediately disproved by the observed independent motion of the smaller objects and the observable fact that no residue or smoke whatsoever issues from the objects.

There have been scads of reports of small (a few feet in size) UFO “drones” being seen at very close range, sometimes even within touching distance. The behavior of these small objects was indicative of intelligent, or at least autonomous, control. A strong contender for an explanation of this object could be that it is a “mother ship” sending out non-recoverable remotes (”Imperial Probe Droids”, if you will) of the types often reported.

Whether the “mother ship” is a construct of ET or terrestrial origin, or whether it may in fact represent some type of unknown/alien biological entity propagating offspring is purely in the realm of speculation. It could be either of those, or it could be some atmospheric phenomenon like sprites or blue jets (which were unknown as recently as 25 years ago).

And there is also the possibility that the video is faked. There is so much software out there that can be used to generate very convincing fakery that that possibility must be considered. The gentleman who took the video looks like just a regular working guy, but looks can be very deceiving.

This video cries for an exhaustive analysis by experts with the necessary knowledge and equipment. If it could be shown that this tape is genuine, regardless of the origin of the object depicted, we definitely have a good case to dig into.

My call – high likelihood that an actual physical phenomenon was recorded on videotape. What that phenonemon is or could be cannot be qualitatively determined from simple observation of the video. Further analysis is definitely called for, with special attention to the anomalistic motion exhibited by the “remotes”.

“Doc” is right. These are accerlerating vortex in jet contrail. Similar to “Kugelblitz” Ball Lightning that are sustained by atmospherically charged shell vortex. This is a common atmospheric condition over Mexico City.
