Today, Manny Ozorio from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico shares with us a very remarkable story.
Manny writes:
Hello and thanks for taking your time to read this;
It's about something that happened to us some five years ago, something that gave me such joy that
I was in shock for two weeks after the incident.
It was also something so important in my life that I was recounting the same story to all people
known to me and unknown as well.
Then I felt the effect of the skepticism of people in me every time I told the story, until I decided to
speak no more about it…
My grandfather who was born in some far away rancho in the deep mountains in the Sierra of Zacatecas,
Mexico, he used to tell me and my father that when he (my grandfather) was very young (about 1913)
he used to go to the foothills at night near his house to see the "little lights" "playing"
just above the cornfields...
The lights come down very fast from very high altitudes and swooped down just on tops of the crops!
Incredibly fast and with the same speed they used to go straight up and played with each other doing
what I believe is called the "scissor" maneuver in aviation terms, in between the small
group of lights.

All that sounded like a little colorful story to me when my grandfather used to speak about it.
It was in 1976 when another event took place near my house in a place called Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, just south of the border of El Paso, Texas (my birthplace).
My young brother went to the local store with my other brother and my baby sister. All three of them arrived home in shock and they could not talk clearly. I asked if something had happened to them.
The older of them asked me: Manny…
You know about airplanes… Do airplanes make a lot of noise when they are very close to you…?
I said: Yes!! He responded: No way…!!
I said: Why…??
He explained that as soon as they got out of the store and were on the way back to the house around 11:00 AM suddenly they were showered with an extremely bright light coming from above.
They noticed their own shadows on the ground, so they all looked up to the sky and saw a bunch of very powerful lights heading straight down to them, then suddenly all the lights went straight up to the sky.
No noise-no smoke-no nothing!!.
Then in acomplete state of terror all raced back to the house about a quarter of a mile. I went out but I did not see anything in the sky around my house and just gave them sugar and water to help them with their panic.
Another time in the same place around 1979 as I got off the public bus, I was walking on a dirt road heading home just one minute from my house. It was around 6:00 PM.
I was in engineering school back then.
Suddenly I saw my dad standing on the street corner waving frantically at me and seem a little upset.

He was pointing up to the sky. When I approached him as soon as I could I asked him: Dad , Are you OK?
It was very strange for me… My Dad was waiting on the street corner for his 20 years old kid coming home from the school…
I said to him… Why? He said that the reason why he was waving at me was because there was a light coming down from the sky at a very high rate of speed straight down to me, then suddenly, the light went straight up to the sky… I never heard a noise…I never saw any lights…
Next day I forgot about it.
My Dad used to tell me that there were some mysterious lights that would "sit" on top of the
electric structures of a recently constructed electrical substation some 2 kilometers away from my
house…
I said often to my Dad: oh, man, get some sleep!!! My father used to spend nights scanning the nigh
skies for "things up there". My father was a miner in his youth. He was interested in earth
and sky… He knew much about it.
Anyway… Like I said at the start of this narrative, me, my wife and my son were driving eastbound of
the 10 freeway heading towards Phoenix, about a good hour west of Phoenix. It was around 5:30 PM, we
were coming from a vacation in Los Angeles, Ca. and we spent a good time out there. We were not tired
or drunk. My 15 years old son was sleeping in the back seat of our Chevy Astro Van and my wife was also
sleeping on the seat next to me. In the meantime I was driving and enjoying a great sunset while
playing some good old Mariachi music…
Then suddenly right on my left peripheral view, at an eleven o'clock position I saw a glimmer or something shining on the bushes just north of the edge of the west bound freeway (see attached sketch!)
There is dirt median about 100 feet wide separating both the West and the East bound 10 freeway in this area.
Immediately I looked around to make sure there were no other cars around me so I could concentrate on the mysterious shining I saw. There was a semi-truck about 600 feet right behind me and another semi-truck heading west on the opposite direction on the westbound freeway…I looked again on the shining light… Wow!!!
I noticed a shiny round metallic sphere, very shiny like an old 57´ Chevy Front Chromed Bumper and was traveling straight south and across the four lanes of the freeway.
This "thing" was about 2-3 feet in diameter and traveling about 4 feet off the ground, its speed was constant approximately 50 or 60 mph. Its distance from us was about 200 feet and I was going a good 75-mph.
I couldn't speak, I was in a daze looking at this "thing". I called my wife, I stammered and then I quietly said:
"Yoly…look at the light". She woke up, jumped on the seat and started to scan the skies up in front of us…
And she said "where?" I couldn't speak or point to her with my hand. I felt my hands welded to the steering wheel ..I wanted to say: "Don't look up in the sky! Looook, it is in front of us!!
But everything was so quick that she didn't see it, even as I followed that object with my eyes and we passed its southerly path and then I saw it disappearing in the bushes behind us…
There is one very important time-frame in this whole event and it is the source of that feeling of joy and that amazing feeling inside of being able to see something like that first hand; that moment is when everything paused to such a slow motion and I became aware of everything around me…. and I was aware of all my senses… and I knew that my eyes were fixed on something so extraordinary just floating in front of me. In that instance I saw the unbelievable power of my "tiny" little brain going full board trying to explain: "what was there??" Wow!!
Some of my previous schooling in calculus, physics, chemistry, philosophy, religion… went BYE BYE!!
Hasta Luego!! Crashed and burned!! No explanation!"!
This "thing" a beam of light straight down along its path!!! And floating in the air with no means of propulsion, no noise, no smoke!!! Nothing… amazing!!!
Brain on vacation, shock for two weeks!....
after seeing what I saw.
I did not become an overnight enthusiast of UFOs or strange phenomena…. That "thing" did not seem like a harmful object at the time and maybe it wasn't, even though at times, I wonder what could have happened if I made some contact with it… It crossed about 50 feet from me…but oh, well I only feel that it was a great thing that happened in my life!
Sadly nobody of my loved ones that were with me at the time, ever got to see it, and maybe for some, for all matters and purposes, this narrative could be just another lie; but very deep inside I wish I could see something like that again before I die…
And I wish that more people could see one of those little lights, and gain sudden humility, and sudden awareness, like I did and know how little we ARE on this planet and feel the immense guilt and shame of knowing how "crappy" we treat each other over a FEW COINS EVERYWHERE WE LIVE…
This was a narrative sent to you by me, written purely out of a very special feeling of having had lived a great experience for my life and also created by the skepticism that some people show when approached with this subject, and also written because I feel that regardless of what other people feel about this subject!
For the people who legitimately ever saw anything similar to my experience I want to say:
"I believe you…! because now we share a special bond that is common amongst those who lived
even for a fraction of a second this kind of experiences and the common deep understanding that
suddenly all material possessions are temporary, worthless and shouldn't affect how
we treat our fellow men…"
Lastly, English is not my native language, as you saw, I apologize for any grammatical errors.
Truly yours
Manny Ozorio
