Subject: Mexico UFO Case Statement


Dear Friends,

The case of the Mexican Air Force UFO incident has gone beyond
all expectations in our Ufology. We ufologists here in Mexico
see with excitement how positive has been the reactions of so
many friends researchers and collagues from around the world to
this breaking story and how we all have forgotten our diferences
to join this mutual interest and impulse our efforts to
continue our work promoting the UFO Phenomena study.

However the attempts to descredit and minimize the potential of
this case by the skeptics and debunkers are going to increase
these days so we have to be alert to repel these naive theories
and statements from those upseted persons that still can't
accept the fact that the Secretary of Defense in Mexico has come
forward opening this case to all the people giving the mexican
UFO phenomena investigation the official recognizion and
support and the ufologists the premise of this investigation.

The few attempts to debunk this story at this time have been so
far very weak and mediocre by the skeptics and quickly
disqualified by the ufologic community. Failed attempts like the
improvised conference by some scientists from mexican university
UNAM contradicting themselves and declaring ridicule things like
" light sparks in the high atmosphere " as Rafael Navarro dared
to state disqualifing Flir Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:FLIR) the
multimillion defense industry of Portland, Oregon and it's
winner product the FLIR STAR SAFIRE II implying they are not
reliable. Flir Systems, Inc. is one of the world's most awarded
industry in designing high defense airborne imaging systems,
perimeter security systems and reconnaissance and surveillance
systems.

The recent discredit campaign against the case and the mexican
Secretary of Defense handled by common debunkers disguissed as
objective researchers like Scott Corrales and his obscure
Institute of Hispanic Ufology whom has a record of continued
debunking attacks on every major UFO case released in Mexico and
indiscriminated attacks on most of the important mexican
researchers. Corrales debunking campaign is clear publishing
every negative article on the news against the case, the
researcher Jaime Maussan and the Secretary of Defense General
Clemente Vega as part of his hidden agenda helped by his allies
like the Fundacion Cosmos group, a minor unknown mexican amateur
group of skeptic debunkers who only recollect newsclips from the
mexican newspapers and the Internet.

The mexican Air Force UFO incident is certainly a high level
case of trascendental proportions in our Ufology and one of the
world's most important breaking news in recent times. It's
useless the effort that debunkers like Rafael Navarro, Scott
Corrales and the other skeptics are doing to disqualify the case
and discredit Secretary of Defense General Vega trying to
change

the course of history. There's no way back and history has been
written.

I had the privilege of knowing this investigation since it's
birth back in April 2004, thanks to the confidence of Jaime
Maussan. For us the mexican researchers Secretary of Defense
General Clemente Vega is our champion, a true hero of democracy
who opened the military UFO files to the mexican people
establishing a direct communication and colaboration with the
civil UFO research. That changed history indeed.

We will continue supporting our Secretary of Defense as part as
our compromise corresponding to his confidence as well as the
armed forces in our country. Our communication is stronger than
ever and the future is very promising. We will continue
rejecting the ridicule claims of those common debunkers that
offer nothing to the serious and dedicate investigation on this
undeniable and irrefutable phenomena.
