Mexico City, July 11, 1991: The “Eclipse of the Millennium” — a 6-minute-53-second total solar eclipse with millions of people looking skyward. Multiple witnesses reported observing a metallic, disc-shaped object hovering in the darkened sky. SCALE: Cameraman Guillermo Arreguín (Televisa) captured the initial footage during the eclipse broadcast. When shown on Mexican TV that night, 17+ other viewers came forward with their own independent video recordings from different locations across the city. This remains one of the most multi-sourced UAP events ever documented. Thousands of reports followed in subsequent months — triggering a years-long UAP wave across Mexico. OTHER KEY MEXICO INCIDENTS: 1950 (March 28): Mexico City’s international airport — pilots, ground crews, and airline passengers watched a gigantic disc hover over the airport for two hours. Mexican authorities contacted the US Embassy; American military attaché arrived and had no explanation. 1974 COYAME: A civilian aircraft collided with a disc-shaped object near Coyame, Chihuahua. Mexican recovery team sent — died from apparent hazard before US forces retrieved the craft. This is the Coyame incident referenced in our MJ-12 corpus. 2004: Mexican Air Force released infrared footage from a routine surveillance flight over Campeche showing 11 fast-moving objects surrounding the aircraft. Confirmed by military pilots and sensors — remains officially unidentified. 2023 CONGRESS: Journalist Jaime Maussan presented two “alien mummy” specimens to Mexico’s Congress. Peruvian forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada and experts concluded they were modern fabrications: animal bones, synthetic adhesives, and manipulated human remains. Peru’s Ministry of Culture confirmed they were dolls. Ryan Graves called it “a huge step backwards” for serious UAP research.
