Hi Everyone!

Until every video of such alleged UFO flotillas over Mexico can
be viewed unedited by others so they can be evaluted based on
the facts and on their own merits independent of other similar
videos, we cannot rule out all other reasonable or probable
explanations such as balloons or birds. I look forward to the
opportunity of closely studying the complete new video footage
which will soon be made available to all.

If a minimum of three UFOs is what would constitute a flotilla,
then such a flotilla of was filmed over the skies of Mexico one
year before the famous Tremonton movie that Bruce mentioned
above. In the summer of 1951, news reporters and photographers
waiting for the arrival of General George C. Marshal (then U.S.
Secretary of State) in Mexico City saw and took pictures and
film of three saucer-shaped craft over the airport. This UFO
incident was quickly covered up. When Marshall was asked for the
reasons for the continued denials and censorship of the
existence of flying saucers, he replied that the U.S.A. wanted
her people to concentrate on the real menace, Communism, and not
to be distracted by the visitors from outer space (see FSR,
July/August 1979).

What ever happened to this film footage?
