July 11, 1991: The century’s final total eclipse cast Mexico City into eerie darkness. But this celestial spectacle wasn’t the only show in town. Thousands flooded the streets, celebrating under the shadowy sky. Little did they know, a cosmic mystery was about to unfold.
The UFO Sighting: Guillermo Arragin’s Rooftop Revelation
Television exec Guillermo Arragin aimed his camera at the eclipse. But what he captured was otherworldly—a metallic, round object gliding overhead. Jaime Maussan, a TV journalist, exclaimed, “This is a real UFO!” The footage ignited frenzy.
“Sixty Minutes” Goes Extraterrestrial
Jaime Maussan hosted Mexico’s “Sesenta Minutos.” Eight days later, he aired Arragin’s UFO video. Phones rang off the hook—40,000 calls! Seven more videos surfaced, all showing the same mysterious ship. The nation was hooked.
School kids’ Crayon Drawings and Shining Dots
Erick Aguilar, a student, spotted a bright dot during the eclipse. It morphed into a larger, luminous object. Meanwhile, businessman Luis Lara filmed a metallic UFO with a shadow underneath. Not a star, not a planet—something else entirely.
Energy Trails and Pulsating Discs
The Breton family, 100 miles away, caught a similar UFO on tape. Jaime Maussan compared it to Arragin’s footage. Identical! Then, engineer Vincente Sanchez filmed a shiny, undulating dot at an air show. The UFO craze had just begun.
The Enigma Deepens: A Vanishing Act
A year later, the same air show witnessed a rapid descent—a UFO vanishing into thin air. Mexico held its breath. What were these celestial visitors? The truth remained elusive, but the UFO hysteria? It soared to new heights.
A Year Later: The air show revisited the cosmic stage. A similar object descended, defying wind currents. Amateur videographer Alejandro Leal captured the moment:
“It traveled against the wind. Not a balloon—it held steady, slicing through the sky until it vanished.”
Mexico’s UFO Hotspots
Thousands of sightings since the 1991 eclipse—no clear pattern, but Mexico City takes the lead. Pilots, doctors, bus drivers, even schoolchildren bear witness. Skeptics cry “hoax,” but the videotaped evidence? Undeniable. For those who’ve glimpsed the enigmatic sky travelers, belief transcends doubt.
