Messengers of Destiny
|
|
Reviewed by David Mayo
|
|
|
|
What can one say about some of the most fantastic visual evidence of
|
|
sky-bound anomalies ever recorded? Weeks ago, when I first received the
|
|
mail-order offer from Genesis III Productions, I was reluctant to order.
|
|
As most of you know, there is a glut of UFO material out there, but little
|
|
is of any significance. Ufology is a science most everyone loves to ridicule
|
|
and there is no shortage of scam artists eager to make a buck off information
|
|
-hungry UFO enthusiasts. I had convinced myself this offer was just such a
|
|
ruse, when a few days later, an associate I trust asked me if I had heard of
|
|
the Mexico City sightings. He insisted that when anything on this became
|
|
available, I should purchase it post haste. As anyone who attended Houston
|
|
UFO Network's January meeting highlighting this tape would agree, this was
|
|
very good advice. The video, "Messengers of Destiny," is by far the best
|
|
daylight UFO footage I have ever seen!
|
|
|
|
The tape, co-produced by Lee Elders and Jaime Maussan and narrated by Brit
|
|
and Lee Elders, begins with references to Mayan prophesies and, in
|
|
particular, those found on the Dresde Codex (755 AD.), ancient Mayan stone
|
|
tablets that speak of future events, and the Sun Rock, also known as the
|
|
Aztec Calendar. Their hieroglyphics supposedly state that the July 1991 sun
|
|
(or solar eclipse) would usher in two life-altering events: Earth changes
|
|
and cosmic awareness in the form of an encounter with the masters of the
|
|
stars.
|
|
|
|
According to legend, the first sun ended with devastating winds; the second
|
|
with fiery rain; the third with darkness; and the fourth sun with water,
|
|
believed by some to be the Biblical Flood. The fifth sun was to end with
|
|
devastating earthquakes, thought to be the massive Mexican earthquake of
|
|
1985.
|
|
|
|
Scientists had eagerly awaiting the 1991 eclipse, calling it the eclipse of
|
|
the millennium due to its unusually long expected duration of six minutes and
|
|
45 seconds over land. It was a given that this solar eclipse would be highly
|
|
scrutinized and recorded.
|
|
|
|
Shortly after 1 p.m. on July 11, 1991, individuals with cameras and
|
|
camcorders waited with anticipation for the eclipse to begin. At 1:22 p.m.,
|
|
people began to notice a silvery object in the sky hanging motionless below
|
|
the eclipsed sun. By 1:24 p.m., the sun was in full eclipse and the object
|
|
had caught many people's attention. By 1:27 PM, the sun began to reveal
|
|
itself as the eclipse waned as cameras and camcorders were aimed at the
|
|
first mass-photographed daylight disk.
|
|
|
|
The videos show a silvery object hanging below the eclipsing sun. As one
|
|
who has admittedly become bored with lights in the sky, these daylight shots
|
|
have a sense of reality about them that is both exciting and astonishing.
|
|
During the course of viewing this tape, over 40 clips of UFOs consisting of
|
|
four daylight varieties and one interesting nighttime configuration are
|
|
presented. The one seen during the solar eclipse was a short "top-hat"
|
|
design, sporting a smooth silver surface and a darker lower flange. The
|
|
second appeared as a flattened spinning top; the third as a sombrero (large
|
|
thin flange with a small dome on top); and the fourth was similar in design
|
|
to one of Billy Meier's beamships photographed in Switzerland. Some of the
|
|
night shots showed an object banking in the dark sky revealing the familiar
|
|
triangular pattern of lights made famous by the Belgium flap of recent years.
|
|
|
|
The Elders owe a great deal of gratitude to Jaime Maussan, the chief
|
|
investigative reporter and editor of "60 Minutos," a popular Mexican
|
|
television show patterned after "60 Minutes." Shortly after the events
|
|
during the solar eclipse, Maussan took it upon himself to assign a news team
|
|
to the investigation of these UFOs. He also appeared on "Siempre &
|
|
Domingos," another popular TV program. He showed footage of the silver ship
|
|
and asked the viewing audience to please send him any videos that had been
|
|
taken of the UFOs. The TV station was swamped with phone calls, resulting
|
|
in hundreds of videos sent to Mr. Maussan.
|
|
|
|
Among some of the stranger outcomes of this request for evidence was footage
|
|
from a town 85 miles from Mexico City where an identical daylight disk was
|
|
seen and recorded at the same moment! Another clip shows a UFO performing
|
|
(according to the Elders' interpretation) a "hyper-jump" as it stretches and
|
|
streaks away within a split second.
|
|
|
|
The best of the video evidence was gathered by the Elders and made available
|
|
for analysis. Optical enhancement , as analyzed on camera by H. David
|
|
Froning, director of Flight Unlimited (and a scientist friend of the Elders),
|
|
shows that the UFO is rotating and occasionally throwing off a multi-colored
|
|
corona. The Mexican UFOs are similar, if not identical to, aerial objects
|
|
that are being seen in Japan and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
|
|
|
|
On May 8, 1992, at the Elders invitation, a NIPPON TV research team from
|
|
Japan arrived to study the situation. It had been determined that many
|
|
sightings suggested a flight path along the Volcano Zone, a string of dormant
|
|
volcanoes that include Mount Txtaccihuatl and Mount Popocatepetl, which lie
|
|
between Mexico City and Pueblo. After speaking to a city mayor and a police
|
|
chief (who. along with local media, were all very open to the phenomenon) the
|
|
team left for Mount Popocatepetl and set-up camp. That night, they witnessed
|
|
and videotaped the strange triangular lights of the UFO.
|
|
|
|
There were several significant event dates that followed the Mexico City
|
|
sightings. On September 16, 1991, Mexican National Independence Day, a
|
|
parade of marching troops, military jet and helicopter fly-bys, etc. was
|
|
being covered by a reporter videotaping the parade activities. He noticed,
|
|
and then recorded, a silvery object close to a formation of 24 air force
|
|
fighters. Moments later, five fighters broke formation and gave chase, but
|
|
the UFO accelerated to the northeast and disappeared. Optical enhancement
|
|
revealed the same now-familiar UFO.
|
|
|
|
On Nov. 23, 1991 and 7000 miles away, a Japanese couple videotaping the
|
|
erupting Mt. Unsen, caught sight of a silver shape floating below the
|
|
crescent moon. They filmed it for nearly an hour, then stopped as they grew
|
|
weary. The next morning, to their surprise, the UFO still floated in the
|
|
morning sky! Again, it was the same familiar UFO.
|
|
|
|
On March 4, 1992, the Aircraft Control Tower in Mexico City recorded a group
|
|
of UFOs on their radar screens. The blips stayed for 40 minutes.
|
|
|
|
It is the producers opinion that the arrival of the UFOs, in conjunction
|
|
with the Mayan prophesy, suggests that there will soon be a major volcanic
|
|
eruption. In fact, Mount Popocatepetl began steaming for the first time in
|
|
years just after the arrival of the UFOs. The area between the two volcanoes
|
|
is the Pass of Cortez, an area previously devastated by volcanic eruptions.
|
|
|
|
The Mexico government put enough stock in the Mayan prophesies to issue some
|
|
public warnings. To quote the prologue from the tape:
|
|
"In May of 1992, the Mexican government warned the population of 40 cities
|
|
to prepare for the possible catastrophic eruption of the awakening volcanoes.
|
|
The newspaper, El Universario, carried the article on the front page. In
|
|
August of 1992, "60 Minutos" presented a one-hour program on the volcanoes,
|
|
stressing the need for preparedness in the face of an imminent disaster.
|
|
|
|
Although there is no evidence of a cover-up in Mexico, the news of this
|
|
historical sighting has inexplicably stopped at our border.
|
|
|
|
"Messengers of Destiny" Update
|
|
I spoke to Lee Elders on January 15. He and Brit had just returned from
|
|
Mexico covering what has become Phase Two of this incredible UFO flap.
|
|
On January 1, the UFOs returned, but now there are as many as eight daylight
|
|
disks hovering in the Mexican skies. Lee said they have videotapes of
|
|
traffic jams caused by drivers and passengers exiting their automobiles to
|
|
get a look at the strange disks. This new wave is being seen by a massive
|
|
number of people. Lee also spoke of his prized video possession, daylight
|
|
footage of "20 UFOs hovering around a docking station!"
|
|
|
|
Counting the videos he received from his first trip, he now has over 700
|
|
tapes of which, by his count, 200 are of very good quality. Of those 200,
|
|
half are excellent daylight shots. The Elders are producing a second tape
|
|
covering the ongoing Mexico sightings and plan on marketing it this summer.
