Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – AERIAL ENCOUNTERS
Increasingly, it seems, aircraft pilots are coming forward with reports of encounters with unknown flying objects, sometimes risking their professional status by doing so. For example, a wave of sightings in Mexico during 1994 included remarkable encounters by airliners on their approach to Mexico City International Airport. On the night of 28 July, the captain of Mexicana Airlines Flight 180 radioed to the airport’s control tower: ‘I have an unidentified object on my right, moving very fast.’ The tower responded that there was nothing to be seen on the radar.
At 21.25 that same night, many citizens of Mexico City observed an unusual bright object in the sky. Half an hour later, the crew of an AeroMexico DC-9, Flight 129, on its final approach to the airport, reported an emergency to the tower. ‘My landing gear was nearly down when I felt a very hard hit,’ Captain Raimundo Cervantes told investigator Britt Elders. ‘I didn’t know what it was.’
I had never felt a hit as strong as this. [On landing], maintenance immediately checked the airplane and found that the shock absorber [on the nose-wheel leg] was torn off. I contacted radar control and they told me that at the moment I was making my turn, there were two UFOs. I probably crossed my path with theirs — and that’s when I declared an emergency.
Television journalist Jaime Maussan reported that in early August 1994, airliners were forced to take evasive action to avoid colliding with unknown flying objects. On 8 August, Flight 304 from Acapulco, captained by Fernando Mesquita, had a near-miss with a large, silvery, metallic craft which came out of a cloud and passed just under the plane.
What also concerned pilots approaching Mexico City Airport was that digital computers on the flight deck seemed to be adversely affected when UFOs were following or buzzing airliners: the computers gave out false readings for such crucial factors as altitude and speed, forcing pilots to take manual control. Air traffic controllers remained publicly silent on the matter until August 1995, when two agreed to be interviewed for television, provided their identities were not publicized. ‘We want to prove that it’s happening, to prove that it’s real,’ they said. ‘The government knows that it’s happening. It could be dangerous for aircraft.’
Many other areas of Mexico have seen a dramatic increase in sightings in recent years. ‘Not only have there been many sightings of flyovers, witnessed by thousands on the streets,’ wrote my friend Hal Starr, an American investigator who has a home near Sonora, ‘but activities in the mountains to the east of our town of Alamos have been little less than astounding.’ According to one of Starr’s sources, Native Americans see UFOs so often in that region as now to be commonplace! Is it possible that an alien base exists in the Sierra Madres?
