Speaker 1 (00:12):
Welcome to Mexico Unexplained, where we will explore the magic,
the mysteries, and the miracles of Mexico. This series presents
information based partly on theory and conjecture. The podcaster's purpose
is to suggest some possible explanation, but not necessarily the
only ones to the subjects we will examine. Here is
your host, Robert Bitto.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Welcome and Muibian Benitos to episode number four hundred and
twenty one of Mexico Unexplained, where we examine the magic,
the mysteries, and the miracles of Mexico. I'm your host,
Robert Bitto. In the context of the UFO phenomenon, not
all unidentified flying objects are shaped like the classic flying

(00:54):
saucers of nineteen fifty science fiction movies or pulp UFO
magazine from the sixties or seventies. Triangle shaped UFOs, often
black and flying silently across the sky, are seen by
many people around the world every year. Although the first
recorded sighting of mysterious dark triangles in the sky happened

(01:17):
in eighteen ninety seven during the Great Airship Wave in
the United States, the Mexican sightings have been more recent,
dating only to the late nineteen nineties, probably the most
notable series of sightings of triangular UFOs in the skies
over Mexico have been scrubbed from the entire Internet, save

(01:38):
some sights and channels like Mexico Unexplained. In Mexico Unexplained
episode number fifty four, titled the Zone of Silence Mexico's
Bermuda Triangle, we talked about a diary of a missing
park ranger named Hector Alvarez, who once worked in the
mysterious Zone of Silence, known formally as as the Mapimi

(02:01):
Biosphere Reserve. The reserve is a vast expanse of desert
and is a UNESCO designated Protected Area found near the
intersections of three northern Mexican states, Durango, Chihuahua, and Coahuila.
In April of twenty thirteen, the ranger's journals began appearing online,

(02:22):
but they have since disappeared. The diary of actor Alvarez
did not detail anything about the stark but beautiful natural
landscape of the author's workplace. Rather, it was written presumably
to document what the ranger was experiencing while working the
graveyard shift at the reserve. According to the diary, Alvarez

(02:45):
reported to his superiors what he had been experiencing, and
they paid no attention to his reports, so he decided
to document things in his own handwritten accounts. The diary
is full of strange encounters and unexplained to occurrentrences. Alvarez
wrote mostly of the unexplained lights he saw in the
desert sky, while the park ranger saw his share of

(03:08):
glowing orbs. He wrote most details about the flying, colorful
triangles he saw above the Biosphere Reserve. They measured about
six feet across, with colorful, prismatic borders that appeared to
be on fire. The inside area of the triangles had
shifting patterns of color that seemed to him to be

(03:29):
an attempt at communication. Sometimes the triangles would appear alone
or sometimes in groups of three. Alvarez tried taking photos
of these flying triangles, but each time he tried, his
camera malfunctioned. The diary entries ended on March fifteenth, two
thy thirteen. This was the last day anyone saw Ector Alvarez.

(03:54):
It was a mystery as to where he went, as
his car was still in the parking lot of the
main facility of the reserve. He was never seen again.
One of the earliest triangle UFO sidings in Mexico occurred
in July of nineteen ninety seven. A group of four
a man, his father, his cousin, and a friend had

(04:15):
an extraordinary encounter while camping on a family farm in
a remote area of the state of Guanajuato. Perched atop
a high cliff, they were observing eagles soaring overhead, with
a camera at the ready to capture a close up
of the birds. Suddenly, a black triangle shaped object appeared
among the eagles, catching their attention. In a fraction of

(04:38):
a second, the object descended vertically at incredible speed, coming
within one hundred feet of their position on the left,
Roughly the size of four cars. The craft moved silently,
without a hint of sound. It glided from left to
right for approximately six seconds before disappearing behind a cluster

(04:59):
of trees. Shocked, the group considered pursuing it, but fear
overcame their curiosity, prompting a swift retreat to their campsite
and jeep. Though they couldn't photograph the object, all four
witnesses observed it clearly. The craft was a flat black
triangle with a textured surface marked by linear patterns. Five

(05:23):
glowing hemispheres resembling fiery lights were positioned at each corner
in the center. One of the witnesses later created a
sketch to document the vivid details of the sighting, an
image that remains etched in the group's memory. The next
notable encounter with dark triangles in the sky occurred in

(05:44):
November of nineteen ninety eight in the rugged expanse of
the northern part of the state of San Luis Potosi,
fourteen miles from the remote outpost of Estacion Wadli. An
extraordinary encounter unfolded under the vast desert sky. It was
the second night of a five day camping expedition, and

(06:05):
two men, seasoned adventurers with a love of stargazing, settled
into the stillness of the high desert after dusk. The
air was crisp, the silence profound, broken only by the
occasional rustle of nocturnal creatures. As they reclined against their gear,
their eyes scanned the heavens, tracing constellations in the clear

(06:29):
night sky. That's when they noticed something peculiar, two unusually
bright stars glimmering in the distance. Far more radiant than
the surrounding celestial tapestry. At first, the men thought little
of it, assuming they were merely planets or particularly luminous stars.

(06:49):
But then, without warning, the objects began to move, descending
swiftly and silently toward their campsite with an eerie precision
that sent a chin killed down their spines. These were
no stars. As the objects drew closer, their true forms
became chillingly apparent, massive dark triangular craft, their outlines stark

(07:13):
against the star strewn sky. Each craft was an imposing,
shadowy behemoth, their metallic hulls gleaming faintly under the moonlight,
exuding another worldly aura. Encircling each triangle was a mesmerizing
ring of lights, pulsating with every color of the rainbow,

(07:34):
vibrant reds, blues, greens, and hues that seemed to defy
earthly description, shimmering like a cosmic kaleidoscope. For no less
than fifteen minutes, the colossal UFOs hovered directly overhead, motionless,
as if studying the awestruck campers below. The men stood frozen,

(07:55):
their hearts pounding, captivated by the sheer scale and serena
presence of the craft The triangles were so close that
the men could discern intricate details on their surfaces. They
were smooth, dark, and unmistakably artificial, with a texture that
suggested advanced engineering far beyond human capability. No sound emanated

(08:19):
from the objects, only an uncanny silence that amplified the
weight of the moment. Then, as abruptly as they had descended,
the craft ascended vertically, retreating to their original positions in
the sky, blending seamlessly back into the starfield as if
they had never been there. Two nights later, the mysterious

(08:41):
triangles returned, shattering any lingering doubts about the reality of
the first encounter. This time, however, the UFOs did not
merely hover. Instead, they performed an astonishing display of aerial
acrobatics that defied the laws of physics. The raft darted
across the sky with breathtaking speed, executing sharp, impossible turns

(09:06):
and sudden stops that no conventional aircraft could achieve. Their
rainbow hued lights pulsed in rhythmic patterns, as if communicating
in a language beyond human comprehension. For another fifteen minutes,
the men watched spellbound as the triangles danced across the desert.
When the camping trip concluded, the men made their way

(09:29):
to the small dusty town of Estacion Wadli, still reeling
from their experience. To their astonishment, they learned they were
not alone in their sighting. Several locals recounted seeing the
same dark triangular craft in the skies above the region.
Whispers of Los Triangulos Negros had already begun to circulate,

(09:53):
adding to the enigma of this remote corner of Mexico.
On the early morning of April eighteen, two thousand four,
between two am and four am, a group of American
college students fraternity brothers enjoying their spring break at the
Hotel Rio Cancuon on the Mexican Riviera, encountered an extraordinary

(10:16):
and perplexing site. What began as a casual glance at
the ocean from their balcony turned into a gripping, other
worldly experience that would leave a mark on their memories.
One of the young men, stepping onto the balcony to
take in the moonlit expanse of the Caribbean Sea and
the star strewn night sky, froze in astonishment. Hovering silently

(10:40):
over the ocean was a triangular luminescent object, its edges
sharply defined against the darkness. The strange triangle, radiating an
eerie glow, appeared to defy the laws of conventional aerodynamics.
Though its distance from the balcony was difficult to gauge,
the student could distinctly hear a faint, high pitched sound

(11:03):
as the objects seemed to slice through the windy night air.
Intrigued and bewildered, he called his roommate to the balcony,
hoping for a rational explanation. Together, they stood transfixed, watching
the mysterious craft in silent awe. Within moments, the triangular
object executed a maneuver that seemed impossible. It darted upward

(11:28):
with astonishing speed, vanishing into the clouds and seemingly beyond
the atmosphere itself. The glow faded into the night, leaving
the two students stunned. Eager to share their astonishing discovery,
they rushed across the hallway to alert their companions. After
recounting the sighting, the entire group hurried to the other balcony,

(11:51):
scanning the sky for any sign of the enigmatic object.
After several minutes of vigilant observation. Their persistence was rewarded.
The object reappeared, but this time it presented a different form,
a luminous circular shape far more distant than before. Its
movements were erratic and energetic, zigzagging through the clouds with

(12:15):
a frenetic grace, darting left and right as if performing
an intricate aerial dance. The group watched captivated as the
object continued its mesmerizing display. Eventually, the students settled into
a quiet contemplation, realizing there was little they could do
but observe the phenomenon. One of the students returned to

(12:38):
his own balcony, where he spent nearly an hour tracking
the object's fluid maneuvers across the sky. In a moment
of curiosity or perhaps audacity, he gestured toward the object
as if beckoning it closer. To his astonishment, the craft paused,
hovering motionless for nearly a minute, as as though acknowledging

(13:01):
his gesture with an uncanny awareness. Whether it was a
trick of the mind or a genuine response, the moment
sent shivers down his spine. The experience left the group
grappling with questions that defied easy answers. Was this a
glimpse of a clandestine high tech government project or could

(13:21):
it have been an inexplicable natural phenomenon, Perhaps, they pondered,
it was something far stranger, something beyond the bounds of
human understanding. On a quiet night in tepal Katpec, Mischo
Acon on January twelfth, twoenty twenty five, at approximately two

(13:41):
thirty a m. Central Mexico time, a local resident witnessed
an extraordinary event that would leave an indelible mark on
his perception of the unknown. While standing outside his home,
this witness observed a massive triangular object looming in the
night sky, its dark, almost obsidian like surface faintly illuminated

(14:04):
by an eerie luminous glow. The craft, estimated to be
the size of a soccer stadium and hovering roughly one
kilometer away, remained motionless, suspended in defiance of earthly physics
for nearly a minute. It hung there, an enigmatic silhouette
against the starry expanse. Then, without warning, the object began

(14:27):
to glide silently away, its form gradually dissolving into the
vast darkness of the sky, until it vanished entirely as
the resident stood transfixed. The ground beneath him then trembled
violently as a powerful earthquake rattled the region. The earth
itself seemed to recoil from the strange visitor. Nearby animals,

(14:50):
sensing an unseen disturbance, erupted into a cacophony of agitated cries.
The resident, overwhelmed by the surreal seque tents of events,
experienced a disorienting lapse, later recalling an inexplicable period of
missing time lasting approximately an hour. When clarity returned, he

(15:12):
was left with a profound sense of disorientation, grappling with
the lingering mystery of what he had witnessed. This chilling
encounter in Tepocatapek adds a compelling chapter to the growing
dossier of triangular UFO sightings reported across Mexico. Thank you
