MEXICO CITY (AFP) - A UFO (unidentified flying object) exploded in the skies of Mexico City after being chased by two other unidentified aircraft, the newspaper Le Soleil de Mexico reported yesterday. The explosion occurred in the presence of several dozen witnesses in Zihuatanejo, near the famous resort town of Acapulco. According to witnesses, the flying object was moving in a straight line, flanked by two other smaller objects that were trying to intercept it. After a very short time, the UFO erupted as a large, shiny, rounded mass that transformed into four smaller objects, which were lost in space, according to the witnesses.
