Enrique Kollbeck was a Senior air traffic controller for Mexico International Airport during the 1990s. In his testimony, this nervous, heavily accented professional recounted what he called typical cases of UFO activity that was reported by domestic pilots and radar.

He begins with an event in March 1992 where there was a domestic flight near collision with an unidentified airborne object, which was followed a week later by a similar incident. He makes a point of being specific about times, dates, names of flights and pilots and summarizes his disclosure of several radar related UFO events with his concern that these UFOs are dangerous.

You may be aware of the rash of UFO activity in and around Mexico. You may also know of the investigative reporter who has adopted the UFO subject, namely Jaime Maussan, who Mr Kolbeck mentions as an individual who has obviously taken quite an interest in cases such as this.

Is it appropriate to be skeptical about this case? Well, if you analyze the facts, there is nothing unearthly about what Kollbeck says! Why would he and the pilots and radar opperators lie about something like this, especially when they are not expressing any opinion as to what these UFOs are, other than ‘dangerous’. Every incident of airspace abuse that is so concerning to this man can be explained in mundane terms. We could speculate ad nauseam about that. Take the fact that the US have advanced aircraft and don’t really care about Mexican airspace. Well, if these airborne near misses are the result of US carelessness then I agree that such behavior is reckless to say the least. Indeed, I am sure that Commander Ack Ack of the Galactic Federation gave pilot Gryxwl and Choogyboogy a good ticking off for these mischievous mishaps!

In any reported case of an initially bizarre or odd sounding scenario, it is often useful to apply a principle known as Occam’s Razor to it. Check it out on Wikipedia, but it it basically states that you should start an explanation for something with the closest to ordinary possible one you can. Don’t just jump out there with visits from the Martians initially, but rather try at least to apply a dose of marsh gas or Venus! You get the idea. It’s just that in these cases, Venus doesn’t show up on radar or cause near collisions with domestic airlines.
