SEPTEMBER 18, 1968, COATEPEC, VERACRUZ, MEXICO, ANOTNIO NIETO AND TWO OTHER MEN:

BRIEF SUMMARY OF EVENT AND FOLLOW-UP:

Apparently told in the Excelsior, Mexico City, an event on September 18, 1968, involved a cab driver named Antonio Nieto. He was plowing the main avenue of the city of Coatepec at night, pulled over to pick up what he thought was a fare, but it turned out to be a black-clad figure with glowing hands and enormous cat-like eyes that glowed eerily in the taxi's headlights.

The terrified cab driver stepped on the gas and put as much distance as he could between himself and the apparition.

He then ran into a fellow cabdriver who had also been hailed by the nightmarish figure. The men left one cab and set off in the other vehicle in search of a local journalist, who accompanied them to the spot where the creature had last been seen.

They then had a third encounter with the entity. It now held in its glowing hands a crystal wand that emanated a radiance that hurt the eyes.

A staff writer for the Excelsior noted that in spite of the ufonauts' vaunted ability to cross space, they encountered the same difficulty as Earthlings when it came to hailing a cab.

[Ref. sc1:] SCOTT CORRALES:

Scott Corrales indicates that on September 18, 1968, Antonio Nieto, a cab driver was plowing the main avenue of the city of Coatepec. He pulled over to pick up what he thought was a fare, but it turned out to be a black-clad figure with glowing hands and enormous cat-like eyes that glowed eerily in the taxi's lights as it stood on the curb.

The terrified cab driver stepped on the gas and put as much distance as he could between himself and the apparition.

He then ran into a fellow cabdriver who had also been hailed by the nightmarish figure. The men left one cab and set off in the other vehicle in search of a local journalist, who accompanied them to the spot where the creature had last been seen.

They then had a third encounter with the entity. It now held in its glowing hands a crystal wand that emanated a radiance that hurt the eyes.

A staff writer for Mexico City's Excelsior noted that in spite of the ufonauts' vaunted ability to cross space, they encountered the same difficulty as Earthlings when it came to hailing a cab.

Terrified he drove away and encountered a fellow cabdriver who had also seen the creature. Both men took one of their vehicles and found a local journalist who then joined them in the search for the creature. They saw the being again this time standing on the road and holding on his glowing hands a crystal like wand that gave off a powerful light to painful to behold.
