November 3, 1973 – Cocoyoc, Mexico. On a clear day, a Mexican banker and his family saw a strange object approaching at high speed from the East.

His wife first noticed the object and told her husband about it. According to her, it was round in shape. As the object approached, they realized that it wasn't what they thought it was: it wasn't a plane, a helicopter, or even a balloon.

The banker stopped the car on the side of the road and the passengers got out to get a better look at the object. He took the camera and took a picture.
