Mexico City 1950 flying-disc photographs

Record summary

Photographs published in Mexico during the early 1950s were presented as showing a disc-shaped object over or near Mexico City. This lead is relevant to comparisons of postwar press imagery, photographic authentication and the rapid international circulation of saucer reports. The identity of the photographer, precise date and original publication context are inconsistently reported in secondary UFO sources, and some images may have been reprinted from foreign material. A researcher should first establish the Mexican newspaper or magazine provenance and obtain the earliest available reproduction.
