and with friends had recently climbed 'the sleeping sentinel’, Mt Popocateptl. Since their last climb, they noticed that the tails had changed dramatically, and once on top of the crater, his camcorder tecorded an amazing event. The normally cool water of the lagoon was hot. The mountain was beginning to vent; the long dormant volcano was coming to life. ‘The sleeping warrior’ was awaken- ing. Mt Popocateptl is the fourth-largest volcano in the world with an elevation of 17,887 feet. It is also the most dangerous volcano, for Mt Popocateptl lies between Mexico City and Puebla. Should 'the sleeping giant’ blow its top, the explosion alone could trigger a mega-quake that could destroy these two historic cities and affect over 30 million people, one-third of the population of Mexico. We are living, according to Mayan prophecy, in the age of the sixth sun and, as in Cortés’ day five hundred years ago, ‘the sleep- ing warrior’ was awakening from a long hibernation. Perhaps the earth changes foretold by the ancient messengers of destiny were all-encompassing, and not focussed solely on the inhabitants of Mexico. Remarkably, the government's position was like that of the citi- zens’. Although they haven't any definitive explanations to the mystery, they were curious and wanted to know more. Word of the team's presence spread quickly. Many people crowded into the mayor's office, disturbing the interview. More people waited in the streets. They were experiencing a classic example of what Jaime called OVNI fever, which by now had become an epidemic. They crossed the street and entered the office of the Commandante of Puebla and the supervisor of the police for the state, Sr Miguel A. Larios Cruz. The commandante was asked if the UFOs were dangerous. The commandante responded that if there were beings inside these ships, they were not hostile or dangerous to us. He added that if they wanted to hurt us they would have done so by now, therefore there was no need to feel threatened. At the beginning of the flap before everyone started seeing UFOs, Sr Larios Cruz's office had been told that objects had been seen near the pass between the volcanoes. Thinking this was a drug plane, a stake-out was organised. A camera would be used to record the aircraft ID numbers so the arrests could be made. The stake-out was successful, but the photo was unlike anything he had ever seen The Maya envisioned changes, no matter how destructive, as a necessary progression, believing that from the ashes of catastrophe would bloom a stronger alliance that was essential to the rebirth of civilisation, and to the recycling of nature. Nothing in history compares with the massive sightings and remarkable videos taken through the Mexican flap of 1991 and 1992. Discovering the meaning of such overt activity is centred on speculation which was seeded by an accurate prophecy of the Maya. Perhaps, as foretold 1200 years ago, the unidentified objects are indeed messengers of destiny. As of October 1992, over 200 videotapes of UFOs over Mexico had been examined. * ever seen. The photograph was taken from 40 metres. He thought that the object had a length of 10-15 metres, something like a DC3. That is the plane most used by smugglers, and as he thought the plane was going to bring smugglers, he chose to send out a photographer. He analysed one picture through a magnifying glass and realised that these lights he was seeing were portholes. The team then headed for the largest radio station in the area, XHVP-FM Stereo Sol, which had been the control centre for UFO reports and sightings. The director of the station provided some shocking details. They're in a community of 100,000 people and they consider their ratings very high, up to 90%. Most of the peo- ple were aware of the station and that this was where they give the UFO reports. They found out that 90% of the people in Atlixco had seen a UFO, and other other 10% knew about UFOs. This was amazing. Ninety thousand respondents had seen the bright objects that ruled the skies over Atlixco and Medepec, and yet, with the massive sightings and front page news coverage, the people remained calm. There was no panic; only curiosity for the mysterious visitors. Then, in rapid succession, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place, beginning with an innocent home video taken during a vacation some months earlier. STOP PRESS In the process of following up this story, we learned that the wave of UFO sightings reached a new peak on Ist January 1993. Tens of thousands of people turned portions of Mexico City into a huge traffic jam, when they stopped their cars to observe a display of unknown craft over the city. Hundreds of people successfully caught this event on their home video camcorders. Although major media outlets have been informed and given access to nearly 700 of these home videos, they have decided to sit on the story. For more information, we suggest you obtain the ‘hot off the press’ video documentary available now through Nexus Magazine. See advert overleaf for details. A young man named Max Hofbauer, an engineer, filled in addi- tional pieces. His investigation of the phenomenon centred near his home in the State of Puebla, near the zone of the volcanoes, where the objects were reported frequently and most specifically around Mt Popocateptl. Max reported another clue. The OVNIs regularly flew between the volcanoes Popocatept! and Iztaccihuatl in the direction of Puebla, and over what many believe is a base, Teteolotitla.
