Dear Guillermo & List,

One may start wondering how many of the "OVNIs" observed in
Mexico during the recent years which are likely to be
balloons...

Unfortunately, based upon the information referred to above,
_I_think_ that many of the Mexico observations are now starting
to lose much of their credibility, and that a great deal of
these observations are likely to be balloons/airships/blimps,
and thus, _explainable_ phenomena. Thus, are there now any real,
credible UFO observations left in Mexico?


(And, I do recall the Mexico City UFO hoax -- this was a video
manipulation. I think Dr. Bruce Maccabee investigated this one
-- and, I've been looking at parts of this footage myself, and
do agree on the conclusion of a hoax, though it seemed to be a
clever one.)

I was hoping that most of these observations should be _real _,
unexplained OVNIs/UFOs, and certainly not to be explained as
_balloons_!

(However, I realise that, by definition, an Unidentified Flying
Object is _anything_ one see in the sky and cannot easily
identify as a certain star, planet, or other object, and in 95%
of the time can be easily explained as natural or manmade
objects; so, technically anything is a UFO until it is
identified and becomes an IFO, Identified Flying Object.)

Further, many of the balloons/blimps/airships produced today are
made of materials which are highly reflective, like aluminium
(Al), e.g.,

http://pbs.bilkent.edu.tr/wgbh/nova/balloon/index96.html

Do we now have to take _all_ of the Mexico OVNI/UFO observations
made during the recent years with a pinch of salt?

The fact is that one might get a little bit frustrared by
reading about all these UFO sightings from Mexico these days.

Not absolutely every unusual, metallic looking object spotted in
the air need to come from an other planet....


Best regards,
Asgeir
