Quote:

A bizarre incident involving three boys and an alien entity has been made public in a southern Mexico community. The story is causing a great deal of concern and attracting a great deal of interest ...because the reported dramatic encounter was recorded on a cell phone camera by one of the witnesses.

On March 20, 2005 at 2:00 am, three boys were playing with a ball outside their homes in Fraccionamiento Del Parque, a neighborhood in the city of Merida, Yucatán.

David Espada and another friend who wants to remain anonymous were playing with a ball while José Alonso Herrera was recording them with his SONY K500i cellular phone just for fun.

The teenagers were joking and playing on the sidewalk outside the houses and everything was normal for them. The sidewalk was well iluminated by several street lights. Then David Espada lost control of the ball and it rolled to a nearby post. David went to pick the ball while Jose Herrera kept recording and applied the 2x zoom following David.

When David tried to pick the ball suddenly from out of nowhere a strange creature appeared from behind the light post and extended a long arm grabbing David's right arm.

The entity was bald with yellowish white skin and was 'alien shaped.' The contact lasted just a second as David reacted...jumping and shouting: "It grabbed me!! It grabbed me!!" And then ran back to his friends and pointing back to the post and screaming: "It's there!! See it!? It grabbed me!!"

As Jose Herrera was recording with his cell phone, he then applied a 4x zoom to the camera at the direction David was signaling. Surprisingly, the alien entity showed its head again out from behind the post for three seconds ...and then dissapeared.

The three boys were in shock after confronting the unknown creature and ran away from the place screaming in terror. The whole incident was caught by the cellular phone's camera.

That was not a pleaseant night to sleep for them. The next day they discussed the dramatic experience and decided to keep it a secret due to the bizarre nature of the incident. However Jose Herrera asked them to review the video from his cellular phone and to try to determine what could that weird creature might be.

David Espada refused to look at the video. He was still shocked by the terrifying experience and told them: "I don't want to see that video ever, and I don't want to discuss it."

According to their testimonials David Espada was so frightened by the event that he didn't want to go out at night for sometime and didn't want to go anywhere near that part of the sidewalk fearing his nightmare would repeat again. The story and the video remained a secret for several months until David managed to feel more relieved to talk about it with them.

Some months later, David Espada and Jose Herrera, feeling more confident, told some close friends about their alien encounter experience.

The reactions were always of laughter and skepticism but when they showed the images still on the cellular phone those laughs turned into surprise and shock. The alien encounter became famous among the kids in the neighborhood and became known to other boys in school as well.
In November 30, 2005 Mexican researcher Jaime Maussan was in Merida giving lectures when he found out about event from some local researchers who told him about an ET encounter which had been recorded on a cell phone by three boys.

Maussan asked to meet these boys to learn more about their story...and to see the video. A meeting was arranged and once Maussan talked to them and reviewed the video, he asked David Espada and Jose Herrera to go public...telling of their experience and showing their evidence. After some indecisiveness, they agreed.

Jaime Maussan called me from Merida telling me about this case and invited me to join the investigation. The next day I received a copy of the footage for analysis and evaluation, as well as interviews with the witnesses and images from the location. During the interview, David Espada remembers when he felt the creature's hand grab his arm...a shocking moment he would never forget.

David Espada: "I was going to pick the ball and I felt a very cold hand or claw that grabbed my arm and pulled me. It was extremely cold like an ice hand that freezes you and immediately it pulled me. I reacted in panic and jumped away screaming. It was an ugly being, some kind of weird creature with a long arm. Gives me the creeps to remember it.

The video taken by Jose Herrera is clear within the limits of a cell phone camera. The images show a kind of unknown entity or creature that suddenly appears from behind a post extending what seems to be a long arm of some kind and grabbing David's arm, and then retracting it almost immediately as David jumps and screams. The audio portion of the video is good and reflects the dramatic moment of the contact.

There is a second appearance of the entity when Jose Herrera applied the 4x zoom and the creature showed its head for three seconds and disappeared.

According to measures taken by Jaime Maussan in the actual site the entity's arm may have measured around 1.20 meters since the distance between the post and the sidewalk is 1.37 meters. It is a very long arm and is an important element in this investigation.

Also important is the narrow street post which is wide enough to hide the creature's body. This presents a major problem in trying to establish where such an entity might have come from.

Both David Espada and Jose Herrera are well known boys in their neighborhood and school. They are honest and incapable of inventing such a story or perpetrating a hoax. When asked why they didn't report the incident to the police they answered: "No way, the police would have thought we were drunk or on drugs!! Besides, we were shocked and kept the experience to ourselves for sometime."

David Espada was the most affected one and he confessed his own fears of returning to the location or to see the video.

The story was just released on national television in Mexico by Jaime Maussan with the whole investigation, the witnesses, the footage and analysis performed.

There are great expectations among the public to learn more about this story and to see the images of such a bizarre incident caught on the cell phone video. A variety of reactions are expected due to the complex nature of the event.

Both David Espada and Jose Herrera continue maintaining their story and the legitimacy of the video.

This is certainly a unique case of a rare nature not common in Ufology...a bizarre and fascinating story with important elements and solid evidence. For this research team, the case represents a major challenge.

We have been evaluating and analyzing all the elements and evidence in order to reach a conclusion but the case still remains unsolved...

Interesting story and extremely hard to tell anything from the photo, really too grainy.. It looks like something bald trying to touch BigFoot.. LOL..

Anyways as I said from this picture it's far to hard to really tell what's going on.. The video might help shed more light on what's happening here but I'll remain skeptical until I see a bit more..

Truly interesting though, I'll give it that..

Alien Encounter Filmed In Mexico?
Wow! What if all he wanted was a room for the night and a nice meal? Give a little advice maybe?

Unless of course his meal was you! thats a different story I guess but wouldnt some creature that wanted to eat you be a bit more aggressive?

I feel betrayed, I keep the balcony door open in case they might need a place to stay and their hangin round kids playin soccer in Mexico.

In all seriousness, I would be sh#t scared as well but I would be killing myself for running later in my life.

Hey guys I moved these here because we had the same post and story running in the same topic area so I just combined them.. Sorry for the incovenience and do please carry on, Im enjoying this and intrigued all at the same time.. Will fredster find his flat mate, and is this truly some stills from the movie signs..??

By the way I was looking at the pictures from the other website that Fredster provided and I have to say whateer that thing dude is, it's pretty freakin thin to be hiding behind a pole like that.. Also the pictures don't really jive for me but it might be because they are taken from different angles.. Im not sure but it's beginning to look kinda hinky to me.. My thoughts anyways..

Remember the part in the movie where the kid in Mexico was having a birthday party and they looked out the window and the Alien sudenly appeared across the alley ?Its the bit where Joaquin Phoenix leaps with fear !
Anyhoo this looks like a still of that piece to me .....I'm suspicious of it

I hear that Bro .....Jeez he must be on a pretty low fat diet......I mean c'mon even Teri Hatcher aint that thin....is she ? MMMmmmm Terrrri Hatcherrrr

You're kracking me up bogeyman, but yeah I have to agree Terry Hatchers a hottie for sure.. Even if she was an alien hottie Im thinkin that would be all right with me.. As long as she didnt get me knocked up if ya know what I mean.. That would kind of suck..

Thing is really thin though.. In the movie wasn the alien walking down an alley much the same as what we see here.. I haven't seen the movie in a long time so I could be wrong.. I'm just having a hard time believing this one..

Evad you're a dam genius I'd have never thought of that for merging threads

As for it being a clip, I didn't think those in signs had long arms like that ?

I can see what looks like a reflection of an alien blue coloured face, top right of that guys head as well in that pic.

Authentic, don't know, need to see the video methinks .. I've got it I'll see if it is a clip, but thats some story to put around a pic.

Interesting !

Forget the LONG arm and how THIN it is.....Wheres the rest of it's body at?
Is it just a intergalactic anti-gravity torso?

Hummm?

Guys
Here's the video clip.....not from signs anyway ...check it out and see what you think.

Can't get that to play Bogeyman, what do you use ?

I could play it and I use quicktime 6.5.2


About the video....Well...it looks very real.
If it was hoaxed it must have been computereditet. It certainly didnt look like a guy in a suit. IMO

I agree Zetanian, if this was hoaxed it was a very good job. Looks realistic to me, otherwise the actors deserve Oscars. Very high level CG would have been at play if a computerized hoax. Of course, keeping in mind the vid was a low-res phone-camera take, the level of detail is low and needed details to render an objective view would be missing, sadly. Another intriguing event...

Are you kidding me Thoth.. I think that's the first time I've ever been called a genius here.. knuckle up boys Im on a roll..

I'm really kind of torn about this video and th stills and really everything about this.. It does look weird and authentic but still there's just something not right.. Though I can't put my finger on it I can attempt to explain..

First thing that struck me as odd was that the video was running at a specific distance until the boy began walking after the ball, then all of a sudden it jumped in closer, not zoomed in, jumped like it had been edited.. Perhaps it was in order to help us see the image.. Not sure though.. The strange part truly is still the pole and how thin thin this person or thing had to be in order to stay concealed.. The angles of the leen and what not suggest that you would have maybe had to see the back end or something but you never do.. So unless the thing or person was leening out of a portal of some kind it just looks wrong or weird.. Maybe Twiggy got a buzz cut.. ?? lol..

I'm still having my doubts though, not cause I don't wish to believe, it's just too hard to tell what I'm really seeing here.. The pixelation is pretty bad and so it lends to some really grainy images.. It was pretty exciting to watch it though.. Thanx Bogeyman..

I don't know how cellphone cams work either. It did seem to jump as they got closer. But, maybe he had it off for a second as they got closer to the lamp post? But, if it was someone hiding behind it, he was one thin mofo.

I don't know how they could photoshop a cell phone video? And they did not seek to have this known. Seems...I don't know, alot of strange things go on in Mexico as we've all seen.

Moral of the story: Don't play soccer at night in a back alley!

Thanks for the video bogey! With the still and the video it's just gonna stay an unknown I guess. But, it IS spooky!!!!

Saw this with Quicktime, ironically its because I didn't leave it enough time to play before, bizarre thats for sure. Looks like it has been edited for clarity. The image was tiny so very hard to see what is happening.

Can't have been hoaxed, because of what people have said how did the hoaxer hide behind a pole, but if it's real how did whatever it was do the same, unless as Evad says, its reaching out from a portal or something.

I'd like to see an enlarged version of this, the screen was no bigger than a typical thumbnail pic when I watched it.

Its arm was long as well to reach from the post to the boy, looks like he was pulled then ran away jury out on this

Now that I seen the video, im kinda freaked out.

Why would an alien reach out for a kid like that anyway? For what purpose, just to scare?

Hard to say why an alien would do anything. Alien is such a broad word though. Who know WTF it was?

All I know is I hope I don't dream about it. It's spooky as all get out!
