Background
During the day on March 13, 1950, several people at the Central Airport in Mexico City saw a total of four UFOs passing overhead. Among them were Santiago Smith, a weather observer for Mexicana de Aviación, and J. de la Vega of the airport commander's office. Smith observed one of the objects through a theodolite and described its shape as that of a “half-moon.” The Oakland Tribune reported the sightings the following day. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
