1965, 1969, 1972, 1979, MEXICO CITY, MEXICO, ENRIQUE MERCADO ORUE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

In 1955, the alleged contactee and true liar George Adamski came from the US to give lectures on his claimed alien contacts in Mexico City. This then inspired several people to tell their own space adventures. One of them was Enrique Mercado Orue who wrote a book called "28 hours in a spaceship, the diary of a contactee.

Obviously I cannot provide all the claims in the book; however, here is a brief summary.

In September 1965, Orue returns from a visit to friends, and stops at a small kiosk to buy cigarettes. When he goes back to his car, he sees a young man looking inside cars by the open windows.

He thinks that it must be a robber, runs towards his car, opens the door and enters. The young man continues to check out cars. Mercado finds this strange because he has round eyes and long and almost gray hair, and he would later conclude that the young man must have been an alien.

On May 10, 1969, 4 years later, Mercado leaves work and stops at a small bar in the university district, sits at the counter, orders a drink and some snacks.

After a while, a young man enters, sites near Mercado; he looks similar like a brother to the young man of the 1965 episode. He is 1.90 meters tall, normally dressed, but "his eyes ooze with calm and understanding." Mercado is amazed because the custom is that if one sits near another person at a bar he should offer a drink, and the young man does not.

Mercado touches the fabric of the jacket of the young man and is very astonished because it "takes its shape again". The young man tastes Mercado's whiskey and declares that "it smells like toys gasoline" and "it is not good for health." He tastes the snacks, and states the meat does not taste good, that it makes you cold, sick and tired. He finds the fish is better at the taste but just as bad for health.

He then introduces himself as "Estihel", coming from a world which is not a country but a world which is not divided in countries. But it is not another world, because there is only one world and everyone has the same origin, the same destiny, the same mission, we are all brothers.

Mercado asks why he approached him. Answers "Estihel":

"Your reaction was free of fear or aggressiveness, however full with curiosity. We like that, for it allows communication. Perhaps could you cooperate in a certain manner, so that the men of your world change their way of thinking, so that they become able to reach another level of existence, where there are other concepts and another point of view which comes only from the spirit and not from the matter. Property is not bad actually, but it is used on the Earth to make groups unhappy. In this manner, the unhappy spirit is depreciated and produced hypocrisy, until, by a universal law, the damage as of his own negative thoughts is changed into good."

"The thoughts or the spirit are energy. The thoughts are an energy, sent, which is not lost. It is in withdrawal in a waiting position, until it is revealed and linked and reinforced, at its starting point, when its function ends."

And the young man left.

On October 22, 1972, Mercado is on the terrace of his home at 10 p.m., looking at the starry sky. A young man appears beside him and asks whether he wants to come with him. "Of course," answered Mercado.

The stranger asks him to cling to his belt, and both go up in the sky "on an invisible beam" up 10 meters, where a matt black spacecraft with fast rotating small lights awaits. The spacecraft opens, they board.

Mercado is filled with wonderment at the simplicity of the interior of the ship: there is only a dashboard with five colored buttons, a window and two armchairs. They depart, the pilot shows the Earth to Mercado by the window, they arrive at mothership, enter there by a sliding door, they are in a hangar inside the mothership and there are 12 other small saucers there.

They pass on a moving sidewalk, are sprinkled with liquids and vapors. At the end, they change clothing, Mercado receives a green one-piece spacesuit. They visit the ship, Mercado meets the ship's commander who wears a light blue outfit and is 2 meters tall, gray hair. His name is "Yastek" and he tells Mercado not to be afraid.

Around him, pretty women work at various control panels.

"Yastek" shows Mercado a "sky chart", with crosses and lines, tells him they are 100.000 km above Mecico City, shows the moon, and explains:

"Your solar system is made of 11 planets, a twelfth was destroyed in the ancient times, its remainders are the Asteroids Belt."

Two hours later, he is brought back on Earth.

On January 7, 1977, Mercado is at friends in Acapulco. A female voice calls him, telling she is a space visitor. He again goes to a space trip in a spaceship, where "Auri" reveals:

"Man, the animals and the plants have an aura, which, depending on their spirit and health, changes color. The heart is visible only in the fourth dimension - invisible to Man - where it to shine by its energy. Time does not really exist, it was invented, to more or less logically measure our evolutionary life cycle."

"Consequently, there is no 'borders of the times'. Time passes in the ship as it passes on the celestial bodies, from which it moves away. All move at the same rhythm and the same period. The speed of light is not the highest possible speed, for the light is not the cause but the effect of the energy within light at the time of the impact or the contact with the constituted bodies; which produce molecular vibrations, and this effect."

"What moves is with a speed of 300.000 km/sec is the electric power and other energies sent, whose the wavelength and force of separation are identical. There are however energies which move much faster, as spaceship do."

"In the universe, there are energy bands or channels which come from the negative and positive hemispheres of the stars. These bands come out of the stars towards planets and into space. Thus the planets release stars of a surplus of energy in the universe. Between the bands, there is always a passage and in these passages, spacecrafts move without any friction, fast at an increasing speed, without ever any 'temporal jump' occurring."

Mercado is brought back downtown and returns home by cab.

Just like the other Mexican contactee author Villanueva, Orue never reached nearly the level of international fame of George Adamski. He however had his book published in Germany by the contactee circles, gave a number of lectures there, and some of his encounters appeared in a catalogue of "encounters with humanoids."

Narratives:

[Ref. em1:] ENRIQUE MERCADO ORUE:

The alleged witness Enrique Mercado Orue wrote about his alleged experience in his book "28 horas a bordo de un OVNI", "28 hours on board a UFO":

[Ref. rc1:] ROBERTO S. CONTRERAS ESPARZA:

In a review of the book by the witness, this author indicates that the witness was born on December 17, 1923 in Zacualtipán Hidalgo in Mexico and deceased on December 9, 2003 at age 75. He exerted the profession of accountant, civil servant, and was a "contactee", who thought that he had been contacted by beings of another civilization, extraterrestrial visitors who had invited him to visit one their ships.

He entered the world of the ufology in 1965, when one afternoon of September, he found one of these "visitors" checking his car.

Thereafter, he was contacted by the aliens of a civilization called "Mu" on 9 occasions from 1965 with to 1978.

In two of these occasions he was invited to go up physically on board exploration sheips of the extraterrestrial and could also visit the largest ship, their mothership. He spent 28 hours on board this "ship" and was shown "some relatively interesting aspects of this extraterrestrial civilization."

His book was translated and was published in Germany, and he was invited to take part in two International Congresses, the first in Germany in 1979 and the second in Mexico in 1995." He took part in various radio shows and wrote reports of his contacts in multiple journalistic publications.

The author indicates that Orue, "contrary in the majority of the 'contactees'", did not have super-powers, did not have any message for humanity, did not organize extraterrestrial picnics, did not hold schools of cosmic teaching, was not the buddy of the "space brothers" did not have "a cosmic girlfriend" and did not use his contact since he did not receive money like many others.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in San Angel, Mexico City, Mexico, in 1965, in the afternoon, Enrique Mercado Orue had stepped out after buying some cigarettes at a local store when he noticed a strange individual looking into his car, an Opel model. As he approached he noticed that it was a very tall man that looked and smiled at him. The stranger was light skinned, with silvery white hair and apparently about 27 years of age. The stranger then quickly walked away, disappearing over a nearby hill, as if gliding over the rocky terrain.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Fabio Picasso.

[Ref. ar2:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in the Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City, Mexico, in 1969, in the afternoon, Mr. Mercado Orue, involved in a previous encounter, had entered a local bar and had sat down for a drink. As he sat there, a very tall, pale man approached and sat down. Orue noticed that the man wore a metallic-like outfit, soft to the touch. The stranger told Orue not to eat the ham or drink the whisky since it was damaging to his health. Among other things, the stranger said that he came from a very far place that was not divided into "cities or continents." He then bade goodbye telling the witness that he would see him again.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Fabio Picasso.

[Ref. ar3:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Mexico City, Mexico, on October 22, 1972, at 2200, Enrique Mercado, involved in other encounters, was lounging in the terrace of his house when suddenly a very tall young man appeared behind him. The man asked: "Enrique do you want to come with me?" Enrique agreed. The young man straddles Enrique as he grabs a girdle on the man's coveralls. Then they fly through the air inside an apparent invisible beam and into a hovering saucer-shaped craft. Inside Mercado is surprised at the apparent simplicity of the craft's furnishings. There is a table with multi-colored buttons, a screen on the wall and two armchairs. The saucer then flies into a hovering mothership, around which other saucers are hovering. Mercado is then given a green coverall to wear and he is introduced to the commander of the vessel, a huge man, over two meters in height, wearing a blue coverall. The commander's name is Yastek and shows Mercado what he calls "sky charts". He is told he is at a point about 100,000 km from Mexico City. Suddenly he finds himself in the balcony of his house, two hours have passed.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is UFO Geheimnisse, Berlin January 1998.

[Ref. un1:] "UFO NACHRICHTEN" WEBSITE:

The website indicates that Mexican contactee Enrique Mercado Orue was born on December 17, 1928 in Zacualtipan. He is the author of "28 Stunden an Bord eines Raumschiffes" (28 hours on board a spaceship), published by UFO-Nachrichten, his profession was a public auditor and he worked 33 years in the sectors of accountancy and finances at a big national bank. The extraterrestrials took contact with him nine times, including six times personally, twice by projections of holograms and once with a remote-controlled communication device. After his contacts he held many talks, spoke in the universities and on television. He took part in 1979 in UFO congresses, inter alia in Mainz, in Germany. He passed of disease on December 9, 2003 in Mexico City.

Points to consider:

Obviously I cannot provide all the claims in the "contactee"'s book [eo1]; however, here is a brief summary.

In September 1965, he returns from a visit to friends, and stops at a small kiosk to buy cigarettes. When he goes back to his car, he sees a young man looking inside cars by the open windows.

Around him, pretty women work at various control panels.

"Yastek" shows Mercado a "sky chart", with crosses and lines, tells him they are 100.000 km above Mexico City, shows the moon, and explains:

"Your solar system is made of 11 planets, a twelfth was destroyed in the ancient times, its remainders are the Asteroids Belt."
