== Five Airliner Crews Report UFO Sightings over Mexico  ==

By [[Ana Luisa Cid]] - [[Inexplicata, The Journal of Hispanic Ufology]]

On March 23, 2008, between 20:00 and 20:40 hours, five airliner crews reported UFO sightings over Mexico. 

All witnesses agreed on the traffic being intensely brilliant, with lights resembling airliner strobes (white and intermittent). The objects were described as brilliant spheres that were also surrounded by lights. 

One of the pilots, the one who flew closest to the UFOs, added that they had a pentagon-shaped base. The objects went up and down, making movements that could not be matched by an airliner. At that time they were flying at 25,000 feet, 70 miles northwest of Guadalajara (Jalisco). 

The airliners followed different routes and according to the triangulation between pilots and air traffic controlers, the UFOs should have been at the center of the triangle formed by Guadalajara - Aguascalientes - Bajio. 

Aircraft involved:

ATR42, Aeromar 

Boeing 737-800, Aeroméxico 

Boeing 737-200, Aviacsa 

Focker 100, Click de Mexicana 

Airbus A320, Mexicana de Aviación

Communication frequencies employed:

128.5 MHz

123.9 MHz
