Strange sighting in Mexico, 1973

I recently find this sighting and really impressed me. I have no idea what could it be... It doesn�t look like a flying vehicle...

Take a look:
"On November 3, 1973 at 04:45 P.M., a banker, his wife, their child and the nurse who takes care of the child were driving in the family's car towards Mexico City, and were on the road between Cocoyoc and Caxtepec. The weather was clear, with some light flocculent clouds strewing the sky.

The wife of the banker saw an object in the sky, at an altitude which they estimated to be of approximately less than 100 meters above ground-level. She told thereafter that the object was of rather round shape, that she drew the attention of her husband to the presence of the object..."

Here�s the rest of the story
ufologie.net...

Yep, Cocoyoc is a great and famous ufo case. The flyin dolphin explanation is a perfect illustration of how stupid debunkers can be

Is it famous? I never heard of it.

And yes, the Dolphin exlpanation is ridiculous...

Pretty good footage, never seen that before... The most interesting part being that its not a "classical" UFO, but more in the "probe" area.

But it could be a balloon of some sorts I suppose. Cant see why that explaination would be weirder than a flying female dolphin, lol

Why are mexicans so balloon xenophobe?

There even Elephant balloons

bumble bee balloons

and even fox balloons

Well, It could be a balloon, but the guy saw it land and it even had Landing gear like he described.

Too bad he couldn't take a pic of it when it was on the ground.

I'm beginning to like this photo.

Yup, I think its a balloon.

This pic you can see somthing hanging below it.


you can see somthing

Why? Oh why?, are these UFU pictures ALWAYS SOOOOO grainy.

Why oh why do people always complain about the quality of photos?
1..This photo was not taken by a professional photographer on a set using a professional camera.
2..You do realise that digital photography wasn't around in '73 don't you.
3..If it was clearer it would be 'too good to be true', and therefore judged a fake on those grounds.

Please engage brain next time.

I don�t think so. You can�t see that in this other picture

Probably just some smudge.... Looks like some nice UFO picts to me, actually some of the better ones.

The first pic indeed looks like it has something hanging on it...the second does not but is harder to see...

Busy trying to calming down the women, and not particularly shocked by the sighting, he did not take photographs of the object on the ground, everyone went up in the car and they took the road of Mexico City at high speed.

Why would he not be shocked initially, then drive away at high speed? And more importantly, why would he not take another picture when it was landed?

The Cocoyoc UFO looks a lot like Josef Blumrich�s interpretation of Ezekiel�s UFO

Compare this two drawings:

This is the Cocoyoc UFO


And this is Ezekiel�s UFO


They really look very similar, could be a connection here?

You cant see very much at all in that picture! Let alone be able to see the handle of a kite hanging below it!
