Former President's nephew photographed UFO in 1973 by Ana Luisa Cid
In March 2007, I received several clippings from the Novedades newspaper dated October 26, 1973, from Ing. Hector Perez Rodriguez, making reference to a sighting of Mr. Juan David Mateos Chanfreau, the nephew of (deceased) former Mexican president Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos.
According to the publication, the witness gave his story to the press and provided them with a copy of the photo he took with his Polaroid camera. The snapshot was taken while he traveled in his car along the road from Ciudad Camargo to Chihuahua (1973).
Ing. Perez, who kindly provided me a copy of the clipping he has kept for 30 years believes that it is possible that Mr. Mateos Chanfreau's experience is possibly related to the Coyame Case, which occurred in the same geographic region and on a date relatively close to that of the alleged crash of a spacecraft in the Chihuahua desert (1974).
In another news item from Novedades it is said that six UFOs were seen in the USA, witnessed by over 50 people, among them then-deputy sheriff Jim Taylor of Surrey Country.
Transcript of the news item from Novedades, 26 October 1973:
"Mexican Tells How he Saw and Photographed a Flying Saucer"
The existence of flying saucers no longer appears to be a mere invention of people with excessive imagination or feverish minds. When mechanical means - such as photographs are brought into play to determine their reality, only one question remains where do they come from?
Juan David Mateos Chanfreau, nephew of the deceased former president Adolfo Lopez Mateos, has aksed himself this question in vain for two months. But the issue of their provenance is secondary, because there is something more important: he knows that they exist, he has seen one of them and has photographed it.
The account he gives Novedades shows the emotion the event produced in him; his satisfaction at the experience surpasses all limits.
Juan David was traveling from Ciudad Camargo to Chihuahua a little over 60 days ago. The day was somewhat hazy but precisely due to the lack of solar reflection, the landscape was clear and placid.
Upon reaching the desert area between Villanueva and the city of Chihuahua, he began to hear a strange sound coming from his car radio. He suddently looked upward and saw an object suspended in mid-air.
He hit the brakes at once. He was invaded by a stupor and cannot remember if he turned off the radio, but he fully recalls the rigidity that took over his limbs for some seconds. He was afraid that something bad would happen to him. However, curiosity won out over prudence and his arm, guided as if by an electric shock, reached for the glove compatment where his photo camera rested.
"Before taking it, I had the sensation that someone was keeping me from doing so," he says, "and I grabbed it cautiously. I felt afraid again, but the anxiety of having proof of what I was seeing won out, and I stepped out of the car."
The craft, which produced a very slight vibration, rotated displaying its colors of orange, purple and red. Parapeted behind his vehicle, he was about to press the shutter. The artifact, which was to the right of the highway at a distance of some 60 meters and an altitude of 20, did not move. And the photo was taken.
He immediately felt the urge to flee, but some internal sense advised him not to move. Some minutes went by, which seemed like centuries to Juan David. Suddenly the craft began to move. Rising, it tilted until it remained sideways, rising vertically, and taking off at a fantastic speed. He saw no smoke; he was only able to hear an intense vibration that became more painful as the intensity grew. The metal turned into a multitude of dots that rose, blinding his riveted eyes. In a matter of sedonds, the saucer was lost to the immensity of space.
Reality took hold and thousands of Questions spilled into his mind: where did it come from? Was it terrestrial or not? But among the lack of answers there stood an unquestionable fact: something remarkable had happened and none other than he had witnessed and photographed it. The amazement of the event would suffice - perhaps some day he would find out the rest. - CREDIT: Ana Luisa Cid and Hector Perez.
"While in Roswell I bought the book "MEXICO'S ROSWELL, The Chihuahua UFO Crash" by Ruben Uriarte and Noe Torres. It is about the crash near Coyame. I have published the above in order to add to the information obtained by Ruben and Noe, in case they haven't received this already. The book was very informative and well worth reading.
This clipping was obtained from THE UFO NEWSCLIPPING SERVICE, produced by Lucius Farish.
According to a study supported by Scuff Pope, Britain 's heyday, "UFO Hot Distinguish" is West Yorkshire, averaging one UFO report each and every one four months. The UFO sightings envelop an incident last month (17 February 2008) previously three orangey objects were spotted in the night sky in Leeds.

The study was, "Supported" by Scuff Pope who -quite a few duration ago- was the, "Family" face of the MoD's not respectable UFO Suggest. The study was commissioned by Virgin Media and is comprised of UFO reports goodbye back to 1994. The report is to representative the, "Month-long Sci-Fi distortion available on our (Virgin Media) TV on case in point servic"e." Virgin Media has been tracking data which goes back to 1961, revealing an glittery 609 unreadable sightings tangentially the UK.
Display and third regular went to Nottingham and Lancashire respectively.
Scuff Pope acknowledged that:
"It's uncanny to see contained folk plunder an annoy in UFO activity and maintenance an eye on the sky.....Like we right now feature no explanation why apparent sitting room in the UK are alien hot spots, as the research reveals, organize are areas where supernatural objects are repeatedly witnessed....So voters who plea to alien-spot requirement scarcely head to Yorkshire."

Date: 1976
Brian Vike of HBCC UFO Poll has been talk to a male, who was a LT. COL, USAFR (Ret). (He was a F-111 pilot amongst the 27th Tactical Pugilist Wing stationed at Cannon AFB firm Clovis, New Mexico from 1973 to Respected 1977). His important email to me was over a post/report I sent out which I entitled, "Cannon, AFB - UFOs, Burned Circles & Cow Pedestal Mutilated". Similarly in the fellows communiqu to me, the man mentioned that he was one of brusquely 48 officers who time-honored the "Roswell Succinct" in June of 1976 at the base. I wrote substantiation to him asking if he vigor be cordial satisfactory to yield me amongst what was supposed at the concise, so under is what the fellow sent to me. The "Roswell Succinct" is in one of the two jpg images in which he sent swallow, whichever are of dictation information.
HBCC UFO Poll is of course interested in any pristine information that being vigor be able to grant from military undisclosed who may bear been at this concise substantiation in 1976, or any information from being who has skillfulness of the goings on over the Roswell Deterioration. You can accost me at hbccufo@telus.net or by visiting my website which is provided in this report. I to boot can be contacted at 250 845 2189. Draw twig that everyone's undisclosed information is set aside in principle all-embracing and is not liable out to being. The information character vigor be able to grant can be especially grand.
Thank you, Brian Vike - Point of HBCC UFO Poll.
Brian, I bear included pages 1 and 3 of my "The Roswell Succinct" which I penned in the mid 1990s. The concise may, in fact, bear been less than than 5 proceedings in duration.? Most of the information has been well do ented in volumes of Roswell lore buy the likes of Randle, Schmitt, Friedman, etc.
The solitary discharge doubtless is that the concise officer mentioned the probable heave of the craft's collapse as strong-willed by the USAF fall over investigation pair ?
If current is doesn't matter what momentous about all this, it's honestly that a USAF intelligence officer, concise from an majesty government do ents, disclosed to a group of military aircrew members details of an genius which officially never happened.
The F-111s bear longing beyond from the base ? The navy was de-activated and the first intelligence officer moved out moving mission reportedly to seize a bear amongst an intelligence agency at a aloof consecutive.
The Roswell Succinct was conducted in June 1976.? It was a abounding 20 vivacity to come I jotted down my recollections.? Senator Goldwater in imitation of affirmative on a dawn talk show that he did try to promote infringement to the now famous Note down 18.?
As far as I'm gentle, that forlorn was satisfactory for me to dispel any harm the reputation of about the seriousness of the concise officer's certain.? Guaranteed would worship to bear seen the letterhead on his do ent, nonetheless.
Warmest Regards.
The two dictation images momentum be added after I get clothes figured out. (HBCC UFO)
I would worship to thank the fellow for method swallow the information, it is knowingly wanted.

Posted: December 29, 2008Date: December 22, 2008Time: 12:00 p.m.Section of witnesses: 1Section of objects: 5Body of objects: Funny shapes.Weather Conditions: Fair posh clear day.Description: I walked out the front of my house and my child 19 months old meant plane daddy. I looked in the sky and saw a round blue and silver object. I noticed that it had no rise, it seemed to me that the blue colour was the actual suggestion as the sky and harsh to write off as out, I thought that the silver burnish was perchance a crass idea of the sun and it outline. It flew at a consistent speed sooner stop. It moreover seemed to pulse, not colour - but matter-hard to display.It flew directly overhead of in person and child slowing down as it passed us. I would say that it was at gutturally cloud streamer bit grant were no clouds. As it passed us it seemed to stop, subsequently it turned a red colour, the red was emitted from the object as the colour was not well-built. As soon as it emitted red it departed. I knew what I had seen was not of this world.I modest walking as I was goodbye to the shop, as I got 50 meters down the stalk my child once again meant daddy a plane, as I looked within the sky I saw what I sympathy to be a star bit I sharp realized that it was no star as it was strong entirely soon north. I moreover noticed that three silver-not shining-silver objects were flying influence this star looking object. I was baffled as the star object looked out of allotment to the objects flying influence it-I wasn't sure angry whether all 4 objects were at the actual supreme.As the silver objects were flying they were pulling off somewhat military exercises and it seemed to me and strange to say that the silver objects had a uncritical or lad in the function of nature in the way that they were flying influence, in the function of they were playing a toy of chasy-sounds particular. The silver objects seemed to go stake to the star and subsequently reemerged once again three arrogant times. All this time my 20 month old child is tranquillity motto plane daddy which is tranquillity blowing me off as they were so high in the sky it was harsh for me to see. The other thing that seemed odd to me is that this star in the function of object seemed to be encased in a blue earth of something, the first thing that came to custody was water as the effervesce of water? Was a trivially darker suggestion of blue than the sky at the time. I continued to watch these object frequent north until they were out of sight.I rang meteorology and they knew nothing and I rang the control to see if everyone else had reported a sighting bit they meant that they hadn't, 2 existence later I was in my stake sow and was playing in imitation of my child and I saw a object that at separate looked in the function of a plane bit it wasn't on a flight line cast-off by other planes as I grip observed while soul available. As I looked closer I realized that this object was grey, had no wings, finished no scream and was all-powerful at a separate.It was influence 2.45 pm, north east flying east, the weather was clear as day not a cloud in the sky. This grey object had no markings and seemed to fly at conjecture speeds, nothing awesome bit it seemed to stall now and once again. The separate had to be at least amount ten to twenty kilometers off.I bought in person a video camera after my last sighting two existence earlier and ran put away to get it, as I came out side and tried to theme in on it, it departed. My child saw it too bit it seemed strange to me that something that voluminous was not trapped on camera or seen by gathering else available, bit I grip been told that not everyone can see them..thank you for your specialty, I'm not wasting your time as these effects in actual fact happened. I assurance that I grip arrogant sightings and can advertise you specific footage in the manner of time.Thank you to UFOINFO for this report. http://www.ufoinfo.com/
Date of sighting: April 14, 2013Location of sighting: Sydney, AustraliaThis is Laszlo, a famous UFO hunter in Australia that catches UFOs on a daily basis. He is dedicated to find out the truth about them...on his terms. He watches the sky more than he sleeps every week, but he could use a better camcorder. A Sony SX260 Full HD would make him own those UFOs and see them so close you would think they were within reaching distance. Also is a News Video of an interview at Laszlo's house. SCWEyewitness states: "I captured on my SONY H D camera a Large Triangle UFO.I filmed 2 camera this time one has got I R 850 Infra red digital filter on another my H D camera hasn't got a filter I didn't known on my H D camera got visible this UFO.I just noticed today when I checked on the SONY H D camera This object was visible.Thanks god I captured.You can now see clearly this UFO exact shape."Laszlo On TV News!

Denver ordinance addresses the pressing need for Extraterrestrial Awareness. Voters asked to fund an ET commission.
"Shall the voters for the City and County of Denver adopt an Initiated Ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety, and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?"
I've reported on the UFO phenomenon, saying with recent certain news headlines, "No longer is the topic of UFOs relegated to the fringe, nutjob, and the fruitcake. It is a subject that is taken seriously, discussed formally, and even remarked upon by luminaries such as Stephen Hawking, who recently and matter-of-factly said that it's likely alien life exists but we should not attempt to make contact."
But the above really takes the cake. Oops, I should not say that because likely there will be some action taken tomorrow that takes a bigger cake. The Denver Westword blog reported the reasoning behind the initiative- "Over the past week or so, UFO sightings have been reported over Denver, New York City, El Paso and Richmond. Whether any of them are either connected or legitimate Jeff Peckman can't say -- but the man behind Initiative 300, which would establish an extraterrestrial affairs commission, feels that interest is building in regard to the subject of alien life in general, and he hopes it translates to support at the polls. "This could definitely change our perspective on human history, on government, on possibilities for clean energy technology, on cures for cancer of extraterrestrial origin," he says."
According to the Denver Government, for this election cycle, the petitioner must collect 4000 signatures and is urged to collect well above that as a cushion. In addition, there are requirements about the timing of the signature collection- not too premature, and not too close to the upcoming election. The benchmarks are high to get an initiative on the ballot and in Denver I'd imagine it is even harder, being a metropolitan area. So Mr Peckman had to work diligently to get his signatures and find 5000 like-minded people to agree with him.
And then we have in the news, ANOTHER formation of an ET Commission, this time in NYC. UFO's and ET's are certainly popular.
"There does seem to be an acceleration, an increase in sightings," he adds -- one reason why he was excited to hear about a plan by Michael Luckman, director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, to launch what an ET ballot measure in the Big Apple. Luckman plans to hold a news conference soon in New York City to announce his intentions of starting an ET Ballot Initiative in the Big Apple. He will also be announcing the formation of "The Committee for One Thousand Humans to Welcome Extraterrestrials to Earth"." more here
An ET initiative in the Denver AND one coming in New York City?... [shaking head]. I'll agree that there has been an acceleration in sightings.
In 2 Corinthinans 4:4 Paul wrote, "in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." Satan is the god of the age. Not only does he roam up and down upon the earth as his own, (Job 1:7) but he is also the god of the air: "in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience." (Eph 2:2). Satan has been given power on the earth, and in the immediate front yard, the air above and around it. He also deceives and has been given power to deceive even the elect if it's possible. (Rev 12:9; John 8:44; Mark 13:22). He will be performing false signs and wonders (2 Thess 2:9) that the whole world will be astonished by and believe.
Why does it surprise us that the demons could hover in the night sky and appear as they actually are, hyperdimensional apparitions from off-planet? If the Lord would open our eyes like He did for Elisha's servant, in despair at the seemingly small odds of winning the battle, "Then Elisha prayed and said, "O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the LORD opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." (2 Kings 6:17), what would WE see? This? Here is a still from a video of a recent UFO sighting in the night sky of western PA as seen through spiritually closed eyes:
If our eyes were opened is this something close to what we would see? Probably.

By now, readers of this blog should be able to guess that I find the Spooky Paradigm interesting for a couple of reasons, but that I definitely put it in a cultural frame. In other words, I find it most interesting as a culture, a community, a movement, a worldview, something along those lines. I write about it here from that perspective.
But I can't say I don't have opinions and ideas about the ideas in the Paradigm. And the one mystery associated with UFOs, the one that I simply cannot explain to my own satisfaction, is that of the Triangles. These are also called the Black Triangles, though given that many sightings are at night, this may be a difficult call.
Anyway, UFOs have come in a lot of different shapes through the years, and still continue to do so. Trends in the appearance of reported UFOs can be interesting, but simple statements do mask the diversity, and the persistance of supposedly "out-dated" reports of disc or cigar-shaped UFOs. But one trend that has been remarked on from time to time is the growing popularity of triangle-shaped UFOs. I don't know if more Triangles are reported than in the past, but they do seem to be involved in more multiple or even mass witness cases.
There are numerous cases, but the four famous Triangle cases that define the others are the Hudson Valley sightings (1983 - 1985, see the book Night Siege in the sidebar for details, put back in print in 2002 after being difficult to obtain), the Belgian sightings (March 30, 1990), the Phoenix Lights (March 13, 1997), and the Illinois "Cop" Case (January 5, 2000 documented at a great page at the UFO Evidence website). In these cases, black triangles (sometimes smaller, but usually much larger and typically described with "football fields" as a unit of measure) are sighted moving low and slow. They have lights, often with a red light in the center of the ventral side of the triangle, and then brighter lights near the corners. But in a number of cases a rainbow of lights is described along one of the narrow edges of the triangle.
These sightings have attracted a great deal of attention for many reasons. Again, there are individual sightings of the Triangles. But the cases listed above were all multiple witness sightings (including mass witness sightings by hundreds of people) over populated areas. In the case of the Belgian sightings and the Illinois case, government officials were involved (Belgian fighter jets were scrambled, most of the Illinois witnesses were police officers from several departments) and photographs were taken (here is an example on Lieve Peten's site). Someone looking for a nuts-and-bolts UFO report couldn't do much better than the Triangles, except perhaps to get a piece of one or some clear and sustained daytime imagery of one, preferably from multiple sources to discount Photoshopping.
One problem immediately rears its head: the sightings are so good, they are too good. Yes the cases are famous spawning television documentaries and books and mainstream news reporting. But as I quoted in a previous entry in this blog " if a conspiracy theory turns out to be correct, it is quickly relabelled as investigative journalism"and this applies to the Triangles. Because they do have many of the characteristics of actual objects sighted by many people, including "credible" authorities, the reaction outside of the Spooky Paradigm is to admit the sightings may be of something real, but that it must be something exotic, but not too exotic.
Like experimental US military aircraft. This makes sense. The US was experimenting in the 1970s and on with black triangular aircraft as part of its stealth program. While none of the known US aircraft fly like the Triangles (in particular, slow or hovering low-altitude flight), perhaps the Triangles are something that hasn't been released to the public yet. Perhaps a stealth long-range transport ship. Perhaps using lighter-than-air, or even exotic antigravity technology. Perhaps the witnesses didn't understand exactly what they were seeing. This is the conclusion from a detailed study of the triangles by the National Institute for Discovery Science. (see also this page for various articles, maps, etc.). As with animal mutilations, they got interested in the Triangles as they seem to have more data to handle. Their conclusion was that the triangles may be experimental transport aircraft, and that they appear to cluster around airbases for transport and logistics (pdf here, jpg map here).
There are two problems with the experimental aircraft idea. The first is that ufologists can point to older cases of triangular sightings. Ok, but there does seem to be an upswing in sightings, and especially the impressive multi-witness sightings, starting around the time the Americans began building stealth craft and flying them out in Nevada at Groom Lake and other facilities (though these French sightings date to 1975-1976, when the F-117 was still a concept being worked out). Perhaps the earlier Triangles are not related to the post-1983 Triangles. There are only so many basic shapes thagt one could use to describe an unfamiliar object in the sky, and triangle is likely to come up. A rise in sightings of black triangular UFOs just at the time that the USAF starts flying secret black triangular planes is just a coincidence? Somewhat difficult to believe. So this I can live with.
What bothers me when I think about these reports is the time depth if this were a secret plane. It is a truism that secret planes typically stay secret for no more than a decade, and perhaps significantly less. This issue comes up with reports of the supposed Aurora, another mystery UFO of the stealth era. As discussed on the website of the Federation of American Scientists, Aurora is the label given to reports of a high-altitude, high-speed, sonic-boom generating triangular (hence why it is sometimes conflated with the low-altitude Black Triangles) aircraft. In both cases, sightings continued for a substantial period of time, but there is one major difference. Aurora sightings (and recording of sonic booms) are largely confined to the late 1980s and the early to mid 1990s. One could conceivably argue that Aurora was what so many think: a replacement for the SR-71 in the niche of the high-altitude high-speed reconaissance and potentially strike aircraft. Perhaps some prototypes were created and flown, but ultimately the project was cancelled, and the entire thing kept secret perhaps due to extravagant costs, spectacular failure, or scandalous corruption. Who knows, but this is a believable excuse for why the plane could have been in operation for half a decade and then disappeared behind National Security/Cover-Your-Ass.
But this explanation simply doesn't work for the Triangles. They have been sighted for more than two decades (here is a multi-witness sightings in Venezuela from last month) so far with no end in sight. And if they are advanced transport aircraft, there have been enough American wars and military actions that one would imagine they would have been used. And if they are so secret for decades, why fly them over populated areas, in some cases multiple times over the course of a year or more as in the Hudson Valley case?
Historian Richard Dolan wrote a good and more detailed essay similar to this one for the National Institute for Discovery Science, back in 2003. While I am sure I must have read this essay, I forgot about it until tonight. Yes, we agree on a number of points, and reach some similar conclusions. But where Dolan suggests a possible ET origin for some of the Triangles due to lack of disclosure as a military craft, I take his other suggestion as more likely. That the reports are indeed of structured non-ET craft, perhaps stealthy, perhaps for transport. But the continued secrecy points to a very different kind of relationship between whoever flies the craft, the federal government, and the American people. Or as Dolan puts it, a "shadow government." Such a craft would clearly have value in a war, say by rapidly deploying troops and equipment in difficult to reach places (such as Afghanistan in 2001, or Northern Iraq in 2003). But no such craft has emerged, nor have stories by soldiers of having ridden in or unloaded such craft.
If these obvious cases for using the Triangles didn't unveil them, then what are they being saved for? This is where, as Dolan notes, things start to get dark. Quiet craft able to deploy military or police forces, and being tested and flown around urban areas? Developed by someone in the US government but not used to fight its wars? This starts to lead to disturbing ideas to say the least.
And hence this post. The Triangles confound easy explanation as hoaxes or folklore. They seem to exist. They certainly sound like something a military would, and possibly could, create. And in fact they look at least something like recent creations for the US Air Force, though with major differences. Yet for decades they haven't been revealed as such, even when their use could have won wars or saved lives (imagine a black triangle descending on the Convention Center in New Orleans in September 2005, rescuing hundreds of the trapped and dehydrated people, continuously ferrying everyone out in the course of some hours). This might lead some to suggest a non-human explanation for what appear to be structured mechanical air craft, while it would lead others to think about a military or intelligence organization that has such aircraft, but is not beholden to the will of the people and their elected representatives.
Either option disturbs me.
EDIT: I'll add triangle sightings to this post when I come across them. Like this one in the UK on January 30, 2007.
EDIT: French Triangle Sightings from the 1970s. Most importantly, they were published in the 1970s, before the meme of the black triangle, and just before the first stealth prototypes were flying in Nevada.
EDIT: Black Triangle seen in British Colombia. News report on the sighting.
