SIX UFOs REPORTED OVER TAPACHULA
Six "spheres" flew over Pemex facilities; maneuvered above a storage terminal
10:11 - An unidentified flying object (UFO and six large luminous spheres were detected flying over the Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos--Ed.) facilities in Tapachula, according to the Disaster Prevention Officer Juan Carlos Zuñiga Rodríguez.
He said that the craft, having the shape of a circular plate the size of a commercial airliner, performed flight maneuvers over the Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) Storage and Distribution Terminal at an altitude no greater than 1000 meters and abnormal speed and direction changes.
Me mentioned that a variety of photographs were taken and that upon developing it was discivered that at least six luminous spheres were flying over the area at the same altitude, although smaller in size than the craft.
All of this material was presented to researcher Jaime Maussan, who immediately commenced the verification of their authenticity by means of sophisticated devices.
He stated that the tests yielded postive results regarding a central object made of unidentified material, and which appeared to be covered by some sort of radiation very similar to that of the spheres. In other word, the authenticity of the photographs was corroborated.
He insisted that in order to make the event known, the corresponding authorization had to be secured from the main offices of the quasi-state organization. Added to this was the factor of awaiting the outcome of Maussan's investigations.
Zúñiga Rodríguez said that according to data obtained from professional spotters, UFOs have been frequent in this region around the oil facilities and points adjacent to the Izapa archaeological region, close to where the "Tree of Life, Creation of the Universe" stele is located.
There are also reports of fly-overs in the vicinity of the inactive "Tacaná" volcano which separates Mexico from Guatemala.

| The Unidentified & Creatures of the Outer Edge
- Jerome Clark & Loren Coleman Back in print for the first time in decades! The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, the classic early works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman, now in a special double edition with a new introduction by the authors.
The Unidentified finds the links that connect supernatural folklore, religious visions, cryptozoology, and modern-day UFO stories. It documents episodes from the fringes of human experience and exposes what they may tell us about ourselves and the strange world we live in, where things – whether fairies, ghosts, divine apparitions, or ostensible extraterrestrials – may be even more mysterious than they seem.
Creatures of the Outer Edge surveys the cryptozoologically bountiful decade of the 1970s (and more) with accounts of Mothman, Owlmen, Thunderbirds, Phantom Panthers, Devil Dogs, Texas Big Birds, and, yes, of course, Bigfoot. Some of the individually 'named' local Bigfoot creatures first appeared in this book, including Momo (Missouri Monster), Lake Worth Monster, Murphysboro Mud Monster, the Enfield Thing, El Reno Chicken Man, Noxie Monster, Navajo's Skinwalkers, and Yukon's Bushman. The book also introduced the now-iconic Dover Demon for the first time to the general public.
