FALL OF FOAM MEXICO
On December 12, 1963 at 10:00 a.m.
Customs Interventor Ignacio Baz was
called on the phone by the customs of-
ficer al Gate Two in Agun Prieta, Mexi-
co. Because he was busy supervising the
check-through of cattle he could not re-
spond, but 10 minutes later, upon re-
ceiving a second call from the gate and
an urgent message to come as soon as
possible, he got into his car and, stop-
ping by home, picked up his camera and
proceeded to Gate Two.
When Baz reached Gate Two he was
greeted by Inspector Amber Gordillo,
who filled in the details about his calls.
At 10, he said, a huge, white ball shaped At 10, he said, a huge, white ball shaped
object had come in from tree top level
and landed about a hundred yards south-
west of the gate. Ten minutes later when
Gordillo called Baz the second time, he
reported that two more of the strange
things were aproaching.
When he finally reached Gate Two, When he finally reached Gate Two,

and not precisely spherical in shape.
were literally "bouncing" across the
soft ground of a freshly plowed field
about 10o yards from the gate. Their
bounces took them between 3 and 6 bounces took them 3 andC
feet off the ground. The field bordered
on the Agua Prieta (dirty water) river
and a range of stubby mesquite growth.
Ignacio Baz sloshed through the mud of
the field in pursuit the strange balls.
A strong north wind blowing and
the objects were bein
southwest along the ground. When they
reached the mesquite growth they began
to tear apart on the growth. Although
their repeated bounces along the ground
apparently had no t on them, their
contact with the sharp, spiny mesquite
bushes cause them to literally tear apart.
At this point, Baz took pictures of the
two large portions, each of which meas-
ured approximately two feet at the
largest dimension. One landed in water.
the other at the base of mesquite bush.
The one in the water showed no visible
signs of deterioration in the short period
that it was observed.
After taking the pictures Baz made
inquiries, found that the first one had

remained intact in the hard driving wind
and only broke up when they came in
contact with the brush in the area. It
also had strange clinging quality as was
evidenced by the way is settled around
the mesquite bush. Aithough it tore in
contact with the mesquite, it did not dis-
integrate further despite the heavy winds
which tore at it. Had it been any kind
of soap or detergent foam it should
have broken up and dispersed even :
while in the air above the trees.
Baz took two pictures with his Lord
5-D camera, using an F/15 aperture,
ASA 125, 35 millimeter film and 1/100
second exposure. He hesitated to touch
it, but did take a stick and pushed it it, but did take a stick and pushed it

was made of the surrounding area. Agua

Douglas, Arizona. To the west of the Douglas, 'Arizona. To the west of the

strong. cold north wind blowing few peo-
ple were outdoors, and those who were
were not likely to be looking up. Being
above rooftop level when they came in,
the balls of foam would not have been
seen by people inside of buildings.
This sighting was brought to our at-
tenution by the editor of FATE maga-
zine who asked the Lorenzens to inves-
