Initial data
Two students of the National Polytechnic Institute Mexico City will be the main actors of the still-discussed "close meeting of the 3rd kind", which will be one of the first in the country. The brothers Yayo and Payo Rodriguez achieved national fame when, on the morning of August 19, 1965, at eight o'clock in the morning, they announced that they had witnessed the landing of a large luminous disk in an open field near the Polytechnic University campus. The otherworldly vehicle allegedly burned vegetation as it descended to the ground on its tripod chassis.
As if the landing of this spaceship, drawn straight from "My Favorite Martian", was not enough, the Rodriguez brothers also claimed that a pair of miniature creatures in some kind of respirators got out of the ship and approached the terrified students, throwing a metal object at their feet.
The dwarf "guest team" (in the language of "Star Trek") silently returned to their vehicle, which rose into the air in a matter of seconds.
The Rodrigues took the alleged extraterrestrial fragment to a campus lab, where investigators apparently analyzed it.
According to an article in the Mexican newspaper El Gráfico (non-existent), a few days later several journalists and photographers from various media visited the place, where burn marks and traces of a curious liquid, characterized as "fuel", were clearly visible. (leaded? unleaded?). Despite the good physical evidence, Yae and Payo were not considered credible witnesses. Even Dr. Santiago Garcia, in his landmark book OVNIS Sobre México, titled the chapter on the Rodriguez case as "¿de cual fumarian?" ("what did they smoke?").
Original news
Two students at Mexico City's Instituto Nacional Politécnico would become the protagonists of a still-debated "close encounter of the 3rd kind" which would be among the first of its kind in the country. The brothers Yayo and Payo Rodríguez achieved national prominence when on the morning of August 19, 1965, at eight o'clock in the morning, they claimed having witnessed the landing of a sizeable glowing disk on an open field near the Politécnico's campus. The otherworldly vehicle allegedly charred vegetation as it settled to the ground on its tripodal landing gear. As if the landing of this spaceship, drawn straight from My Favorite Martian, wasn't enough, the Brothers Rodríguez also claimed that a pair of diminutive beings wearing respirators of some kind emerged from the craft and walked up to the terrified students, depositing at their feet a metallic object. The dwarfish "away team" (in Star Trek parlance) returned silently to their conveyance, which took to the air in a matter of seconds.
The Rodríguezes delivered the putative extraterrestrial fragment to the campus laboratory, where it was apparently subjected to analysis by investigators. According to an article in Mexico's El Gráfico newspaper (defunct) a few days later, a number of journalists and photographers from different media organizations visited the site, where burn marks were plainly visible and where traces of a curious liquid, characterized as "fuel" (leaded? unleaded?) were found. Despite the good physical evidence, Yayo and Payo were not considered credible witnesses. Even Dr. Santiago García, in his landmark book OVNIS Sobre México, would headline his chapter on the Rodríguez case as "¿de cual fumarían?" ("what kind did they smoke?").
