Subject: Munoz' Report On Mexico City UFO - 2nd half


Hello List,

Below is the last part, Part II, of Daniel Munoz's investigation
with Jaime Maussan of the Mexican City UFO of Aug. 6th, 1997. We
owe Scott Corrales many thanks for doing the translation for us,
and so speedily.

    Part II of Corrales' translation of the report of Daniel Munoz

Thursday October 9 to Saturday October 11: Over the course of
these three days, research on the August 6th UFO would be
carried out in San Luis Potosi and in Phoenix, Arizona. However,
the rest of the Third Milenio team would kick off negotiations
aimed at making a live broadcast of our program from the site
where the Las Lomas UFO was recorded. Back with Jim Dilettoso at
Village Labs, which collaborates with the U.S. space program,
the expert analyst certified that following a week of detailed
analyses on the Las Lomas UFO images, he had reached the
conclusion that it "definitely wasn't an object suspended from a
helicopter by means of a cable." This was the theory that Jim
had attempted to confirm or refute by analyzing the behavior of
the object itself. In seeking out the centers of gravity during
flight, Dilettoso became aware that the object did not follow
the same logical patterns as a model suspended from above,
together with the fact that no trace of threads or cables
supporting the object had been found. Dilettoso would avail
himself of this explanation of a model UFO suspended by a cable,
and schematically explained how the object would have moved
downward precisely at the moment in which the object suddenly
begins moving from left to right. However, the video clearly
shows that the object moved upwards, contrary to what should
have indeed happened. Also, during the trip to Phoenix, Arizona,
we interviewed Lee Elders and Scott Catamas, the latter being
the producer for a UFO TV shown in the U.S. Both men highlighted
the importance of this video for UFO research all over the
world, and Catamas urged the authors of the video to step
forward, even if anonymously, to make an integral contribution
to what could well be the greatest single item of evidence of
the UFO phenomenon in all history.

Sunday, October 12: Back in Mexico, we met at 5 p.m. at the
Corporativo Reforma Laureles building from where we would
broadcast the results of our investigation throughout the world
through TELEVISA's airwaves. It is worth noting at this point
that an air  of expectation wafted about our company in regard
to this video, which was being considered "the best and clearest
to have been seen in a long time." Likewise, regular viewers of
our program expressed similar feelings on the street, aboard
taxicabs, in restaurants and over the phone. The video and the
ensuing investigation had wakened the interest of the people who
follow our show every week. For this reason, today's broadcast
would feature a retelling of the events from the very beginning,
the analyses preformed by Dilettoso in Phoenix, the presentation
of other accounts, including the Lask Family, which would join
us live during the transmission. Once more, we would urge
viewers to join the investigation, and invite the video's
authors to step forward once more to openly state that the
evidence was real and that they had indeed witnessed something
startling. Today's broadcast would have one of the highest
ratings in Tercer Milenio's history.

Monday, October 23: Today we again received calls from our
fellow researchers and friends from Spain, requesting more
information about what was going on in Mexico regarding the
August 6th UFO. During this call, we would learn that UFO
skeptics and naysayers in Spain considered the video as "the
trick that Mexican skeptics has prepared to ridicule the subject
of UFOS and discredit its exponents in Mexico." Evidently, the
research conducted by these groups was not complete, and
definitely not beyond the comfort of their desks and computers
plugged into the Internet.

Tuesday, October 14: A viewer and friend of Tercer Milenio who
wished to remain anonymous placed a call to our offices, stating
that "a new witness had seen the object in question and had even
experienced discomfort as a result of prolonged exposure to the
UFOelectromagnetic waves. We quickly set out to confirm the
events and agreed to meet at Mexico City's Red Cross Hospital,
where the witness was hospitalized. In speaking with the alleged
victim's sister, we reached the conclusion that it wasn't
related to the same sighting, but to a more recent one which had
taken place on September 25, but within the same area of the
city. We were even able to recognize the witness as one of the
persons whom we had interviewed earlier regarding sightings in
the area, which confirmed the truthfulness of the event. Mr.
Mauricio Olvera, a resident of the Chamizal area, had
experienced acute hydrocephaly, a congestion of fluid within the
skull exerting pressure on the brain, causing hallucinations and
blackouts. Upon interviewing the attending physician, who also
requested anonymity, he stated that "Mexican medical science was
unable to relate acute hydrocephaly to any type of intense
electromagnetic source, since there had never been a case that
could be analyzed and thus establish such a premise..." However,
he did not reject the possibility, and that it would be unknown
to our medical science. After the interview was over, we agreed
to follow up on this case.

Wednesday, October 15 to Sunday, October 19: Over the course of
these days, the LOS VIGILANTES group would gradually become a
part of the investigation, trying to secure any clues that would
lead us to uncovering the identity of the author of the August
6th video. On our part, we began to see how the controversy was
growing on the Internet's web pages, where four images from the
video had been presented on the Sightings radio and television
program's site. The readers' opinion would be contradictory from
the outset. There were those who believed that this was the best
evidence yet, while another group stated that it was "too good
to be real." However, this made it clear that it was truly an
extraordinary piece of evidence.

Monday, October 20: On this day we headed out once more with
Tercer Milenio's cameras toward the sighting area in an effort
to contact new eyewitnesses to the event. Accompanied by our
collaborator Pedro Ramirez, we had the fortune to find two
children, Jesus and Luis Fernando Ocampo Chavez, ages 10 and 6
respectively, who had seen the object fly over the area while in
the company of their brother Juan Carlos, 12. They were
returning home from the store and going down the canyon where
they live when they became aware of "a strange metallic object,
round and grey, which spun and moved among the buildings."
According to the children's account, the object "was trying to
land on the buildings." We found it interesting to hear the
children reply categorically that "the people who saw this large
object should talk about what they saw...whatever it was they
saw, they saw," they told us. Definitely, an extraordinary case.
At the same time, Pedro Ramirez had headed to the Corporativo
Laureles building to locate a person who allegedly knew the
author of the video. However, despite not having found the
person in question, he was able to find out that the penthouse
offices from which the video had been shot had not been occupied
until September 17, which complicated the hypothesis of the
author being an employee of said company. On the other hand, the
person in charge of the office space's preparation was Arq.
Adolfo Gonzalez, who indirectly confirmed to us through his wife
that "a UFO video had indeed been recorded from this building,"
another account which was added to the long list of persons
involved in the case.

Tuesday, October 21 to Monday, October 27: As of this date,
communication via telephone between Pedro Ramirez and the
possible contacts to reach the video's author would be constant.
Arq. Gonzalez disclosed that "the Tercer Milenio team already
knew one of the young men with firsthand knowledge about the
video." In fact, the person in question was young Emilio Osorio,
whom after a long series of interviews both in person and over
the phone, had disclosed more and more details regarding this
story, as well as the identity of the author of the August 6th
video, thus becoming an integral part of the investiagion. Pedro
Ramirez would learn that the video's author was in fact an
illegal alien from Central America-one of the main reasons for
his refusal to become publicly known and vouch for the video's
authenticity, since he feared deportation to his country of
origin and shattering his hopes for creating a new life along
with his family in Mexico. It was further learned that not only
two young men had participated in the video-and whose voices can
be perfectly identified in it-but also a woman, allegedly a
coworker of the two young men in question. However, the woman's
voice could not be heard on the copy of the video received by
Tercer Milenio almost a month ago in its facilities. But it
would be possible to hear her, according to Emilio Osorio, "in
another part of the video that we didn't know about, and which
nonetheless existed...the end of the video, which lasted
approximately 15 seconds more, where it was possible to see the
object appearing once again behind the "Royal Reforma" complex's
buildings as it descends again, becoming hidden from the
camera's viewfinder and from the witnesses who were taping it."
According to the story told by Osorio to Pedro Ramirez, the
video's author worked as a consultant, which made it necessary
for him to travel constantly to different parts of the Republic,
as well as a basic knowledge of video recording. However, none
of his coworkers were willing to openly state their knowledge
concerning the video. More specifically, they refused to accept
that one of their coworkers may have been the author of the
August 6th video. The conversations held with Emilio Osorio
revealed that in fact, the name used in the letter attached to
the video received at our offices was a pseudonym, and that the
text described a real situation experienced by the video's
authors---persons whose ages ranged between 25 and 30 years of
age and who had shot the video using a Handycam camera employed
in the course of their consulting work. Emilio Osorio also
stated that the video had been copied with editing equipment in
order to forward a copy to our offices. This could explain the
reason why a fringe with the "Time Code", exclusive to
professional video equipment, appears on the upper part of the
video. Without a doubt, the information gleaned by Pedro Ramirez
through this exceptional contact would dispel several mysteries
on the video's author while opening a new line of inquiry within
this UFO case.

Tuesday, October 28: On this day we received a series of
blueprints for the sighting area on behalf of a civil engineer
specializing in aerial photography. With them, and at the
suggestions of a viewer, Mr. Gonzalo del Pozo Brambila, a
Mechanical Engineer, we were able to establish a greater amount
of details relative to the size and behavior of the Las Lomas
UFO recorded on August 6th.

Wednesday, October 29: Our collaborator Pedro Ramirez continued
to make contact by phone with Emilio Osorio in an effort to
obtain precise information on the video's author, who continued
to deny any possibility of contact to be interviewed. However,
and in spite of having offered to respect his anonymity at all
times, the search has been hitherto fruitless.
