Well, eventually you were going to attract the attention of somebody from Atzlan, so don't be surprised. I wish somebody serious would show up, I could use some help explaining this to you guys. You really should take this sighting more seriously, and here is why:

UFO sightings in Mexico are actually better documented than most of ours. I'm not saying that they are more "authentic", just that their government is not well enough organized to stonewall the investigations by private citizens like ours is. I have seen several of the films, some of them are quite astonishing. There was one taken at an outdoor concert that can't be debunked by anybody in the First World, for example. But I will also admit that the Mexicans have a taste for the fantastical and mystical interpretations of everything, so they have several people showing films supposedly taken of aliens and other highly unlikely creatures. You shouldn't let that convince you that nothing they see is real, though.

Yes, there is a Mexican Air Force. There is also a Mexican Navy. It would not surprise me if there is the equivalent of our CIA or FBI, but there is really no need for it since it is well known that people who are well placed in Mexico do whatever they want anyway and will never be investigated. They also have a DEA and ATF equivalent, and you already know about how effective they are. It is rarely the military which reports sightings. They do, however, show up quickly to chase whatever it is that is reported. Mexico also had their own Roswell-type incident a while back, they just haven't gotten around to making a TV series about it.

Don't make fun of Mexican UFOs (or OVNIs, as they call them). It is perfectly obvious why they would show up over Mexico City. It is the largest city on this planet, the population density is massive. So is the pollution, it must leave quite a signature visible from space. Mexico City also is surrounded by volcanos, some of which are rather active. This also could attract attention from outside our atmosphere; it could resemble an atomic explosion and that would possibly bring investigators from elsewhere to check out what was happening. Without joking, imagine you were some other life form which was exploring for inhabited planets. Wouldn't you want to investigate the largest city on the planet? Afterwards, you see what is actually there and say "Oh well" and go on your way to Disney World.

Well anyway, there should be plenty of documentation online about these events I have mentioned, if you want to know more about them I'll translate for you.

It was probably just the equivalent of alien juveniles drunk in the Suburban.

That hardly a city. There are areas of forest inhabited by coyotes between NYC and Philadelphia. Sure, it's not wilderness, but it sure as hell isn't all city from NYC to Philadelphia. If you are going to count that as a city, you might as well expand it to include Boston to D.C.

I didn't make it up, go tell it to the World Atlas.

If you follow the Jersey Pike from NY to Philly, it's contiguous civilization, especially east of the Pike.
The forested areas west of the Pike, like up near the water gap, don't break the chain, they're beside it.

Besides, coyotes will live in the city.

xob should tell all the news writers, they think Mexico City has the most people. But considering that WE are unable to count how many Mexicans we have in this country, it is not surprising that we don't know how many of them are there either

That would be Boswash.

I like his assertion that we only "came as invaders and kill the indians natives". Even in Mexican schools, they are supposed to know that the Spanish invaders did away with more than 25 million natives within one generation after arriving, 30 million if you count the Caribbean islands as well. We would have needed another 100 years to come even close to those numbers.
