The era of great power outages caused by UFOs was about to begin in these troubled years. Perhaps as a foretaste of what would happen later in the northeastern United States, three separate power outages occurred in the city of Cuernavaca, located about fifty miles south of Mexico City, on the night of September 23, 1965.

The newspaper reported that the power outage was caused by a large glowing flying saucer that flew over the city in the sky — an inverted soup plate, which was seen not only by thousands of citizens, but also by the mayor of the city, Emilio Riva Palacios, who attended the opening event of the film festival with members of his cabinet. 

During the show, the lights went out, and, going outside, the city fathers saw the glow of a massive object that reportedly filled the entire Cuernavaca Valley.

Original news

The age of the great UFO-induced blackouts was about to begin during these troubled years. As a foretaste, perhaps, of what would happen later on across the northeastern U.S., the city of Cuernavaca, some fifty miles south of Mexico City, would suffer three separate power failures on the night of September 23, 1965. The Ultima Hora newspaper indicated that the blackout had been caused by a large luminous flying saucer which crossed the heavens over the city--an inverted soup-bowl device which was seen not only by thousands of citizens but by city mayor Emilio Riva Palacios, who was attending the opening of a film festival with members of his cabinet. The lights went out during the showing, and upon going outside, the city fathers were treated to the sight of the massive object's glow, which reportedly filled all of Cuernavaca valley.
