Subject: Re: Mexico City Video

Courtesy of the CompuServe "Sightings!" forum, some comments from
Michael Hesemann, which, if I had more time, I would have asked for
permission to cross-post, but in the interest of sharing information,
assume is quite agreeable:

FACTS:
1. I called my friends working in the tower of Mexico City
International Airport (Benito Juarez Airport). The object was NOT
located on radar at the time in question.

2. The witness situation is rather dubious. There are a couple of
people who called and claimed they saw the same craft either at
daylight or at night. The sighting took place in the Lomas
Chapultepec area of the Tecamalchaco-district, 6 miles NW of the
city center, what is just nothing in a 20-million-town - it's so
close to the city center! The two tall buildings visible in the
film are office buildings, one belongs to "a jewish company"
(whatever that means... a branch of an Israeli company? Jews from
the US? From Mexico?). Televisa-coworker Daniel Munoz tried to
interview the people working there, but was not able to do so..

3. It was NOT in the news or papers in DF (Mexico districto federal)
the days after.

4. The video was sent anonymously to Jaime Maussan.

[...]

PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION:
In the moment there are some indications that the film indeed might
be a clever hoax, UNLESS the witness situation changes. Since
state-of-the-art computer techniques make it nearly impossible to
detect any FX forgery on video, ONLY SOME GOOD AND CREDIBLE WITNESSES
CAN SAVE THE SITUATION.

Since I fly to Mexico in 5 weeks I will perform a field investigation
on site and try to find those, of course using all interviews Jaime
did as a starting point. Let's see what comes out of it but, until
then, stay rather sceptical.

I did ask Mike if I could quote him that, "state-of-the-art computer
techniques make it nearly impossible to detect any FX forgery on
video".
