MEXICO: UFO REPORTED DURING GRAND PRIX

Mexican researcher Alfonso Salazar reports that on Sunday, November 12, 2006 at 13:30 hours, several people located on the ninth row of the grandstand of the Hermanos Rodriguez Speedway reported the transit of an amorphous, red-colored flying object traveling in a west-to-east direction over Mexico City at some 3000 meters, separated by half a kilometer, approximately, from the Bell 206 helicopter that was engaging in aerial photography at the time, according to witness reports.

The sighting took place during the pace lap performed by the racecar drivers shortly before the race began.

This is the second time that a UFO report has taken place duirng the Mexico Grand Prix. The first was in 2003, when several people reported the manifestation of a metallic sphere suspended at a height over the city, also at the start of the race. At the time, it ws a Brazilian news crew who noticed the event and their report appeared on a news website in that country, with information supplied by journalist Sandro Borges.

The current report concerning the alleged UFO over the Hermanos Rodriguez Speedway will be discussed by researcher Alfonso Salazar during the "Alta Velocidad" racing program hosted by senior race-car commentator Rodolfo Sanchez Noya on ABC Radio.

Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth
- Greg Bishop

In 1978, Paul Bennewitz, an electrical physicist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, engaged in some aggressive radio monitoring of the nearby Sandia Labs, then managed by the Department of Defense. When he became convinced that the strange lights hovering over the labs and Kirtland Air Force Base signaled the vanguard of an extraterrestrial alien invasion, he began writing TV stations, newspapers, senators -- and even President Reagan -- to alert them.

For the most part Bennewitz received form-letter replies, but Air Force investigators paid him a visit, as did Bill Moore, author of the first book on the Roswell incident. Before long Moore -- then a new force in civilian UFO research -- was tapped by a group of intelligence agents and a deal was struck: Moore was to keep tabs on Bennewitz while the Air Force ran a psychological profile and disinformation campaign on the unsuspecting physicist. In return, Air Force Intelligence would let Moore in on classified UFO material.

This is Bennewitz's harrowing tale, told by fringe-culture historian Greg Bishop. It is the troubling account of the custom-made hall of smoke and mirrors that eventually drove Bennewitz to a mental institution, as well as the story of the explosive propagation of disinformation that began in 1979 and reverberates through the UFO community and pop culture to this day.
