UFO Reported Over Plaza México Bullring
Profra. Ana Luisa Cid F.
On Sunday, January 9, 2005, several people witnessed an unidentified flying object (UFO) flying over the facilities of the Plaza Mexico Bullring in Mexico City (Distrito Federal).
Although the exact time of the sighting was not given, it occurred during the afternoon, since the bullfights commence at 16:00 hrs.
The images were presented on Televisa's "La Jugada" program and the newspaper item appeared in the "El Universal" newspaper http://www.eluniversal.com.mx
The video clearly shows a glowing, spherical object that appears to be hanging in the sky, and which, according to witnesses, drifted away slowly until it vanished from sight.

I believe, from my humble point of view, that it is truly an flying object of unknown origin, dismissing the possibility that it could be a conventional device or even the weather balloon employed for weather forecasts, since it isn't so shiny and its contour is well defined.
 The weather balloon is launched at 5 o'clock in the morning and then at 5 p.m..
An interesting path of investigation is the relationship between UFO sightings and volcanic activity. On that very same day, January 9th, a communiqué was issued with regard to a 5 kilometer high fumarole over the Popocatepetl crater, with ash-fall reports for neighboring communities. punto interesante a investigar, es la relación de los avistamientos ovni con la actividad. http://www.cronica.com.mx/nota.php?idc=161313
