On
July 23, 1995, the Mendoza family were on a vacation trip
driving on the road from Aguascalientes to León,
Guanajuato. At 5:20 p.m., Mr. Gustavo Mendoza, Mrs. Elena
Lemus and their two sons Aldo David and Gustavo Alberto
suddenly had an unexpected encounter.
According
to their testimony, Mrs. Elena Lemus was the first to
see a ufo in the sky.
"My
husband was driving slow and we all were talking when
suddenly a kind of bright flash attracted my attention
to the sky. That's when I saw it: an object that was emitting
or reflecting a light in its left side."
"I
shouted, 'Look over there!' My husband stopped the car
at once. 'It's a UFO!!' my two sons shouted. We were observing
the strange object through the car's windshield. It was
static in the sky without moving and I felt a strange
sensation. 'Take a picture!! Take a picture!!' my husband
said to me. I was carrying my Kodak 110 pocket camera,
so I grabbed it and quickly took a photograph through
the car's windshield."
"At
that moment, the UFO made a slight movement to the left
and then turned very quickly to the right disappearing
in a blink of an eye. I tried to take a second photo but
the UFO was very fast. "
Mr.
Gustavo Mendoza mentioned that he also felt the strange
sensation while observing the unknown object and after
the UFO disappeared. They remained with the car stopped
for about three minutes, talking to each other about the
unique experience. "We were very excited and hoping
the UFO would reappear."
Mr.
Gustavo declared, "But it never returned. That
was the moment that I realized that we were in the middle
of the road. It was really strange, they were no cars
on the highway and we didn't felt any wind or hear any
sounds. We were convinced that we had a UFO encounter
and our main hopes now were for the photograph to come
out clear."
"I
started the car and began to move it very slow. We were
still looking to the sky, hoping to see the UFO again.
It was like we didn't want to leave this place, we were
hoping to make contact again. Finally, we continued our
trip and when we returned to Monterrey. I developed the
film and for our luck, we got a clear picture of the UFO.
It's strange but when we were seeing the photo, my wife
and I felt the same sensation of that day."
The
Mendoza family kept the UFO photograph in their photo
album as a remembrance of their experience. Recently,
as a result of a local UFO TV show, Mr. Mendoza contacted
me and told me about their UFO sighting. He gave me the
negatives and I made several analyses. The zooming photo
was made at the PhotoLab...not by the computer. It was
made direct from the original negative to capture all
the elements. I checked all the photos in the negatives
and there was only one UFO photo in the sequence...verifying
the witnesses testimonies. For me, this was a lucky discovery
of one more case in my UFO research. But for the Mendoza
family, it was truly a unique moment in their lives.
