The actual incident with an alien attempting to hijack the aircraft
Carlos Antonio de los Santos Montiel boarded his Piper Aztec 24 for a fatal journey from Guerrero state to Mexico City. He had no idea that this trip would result in an amazing experience with the unknown. Three things were tightly positioned around his plane as he flew through the sky. A sudden bang from below suggested that one of the objects and his aircraft may have collided. Carlos was shocked to see that the landing gear and controls of his aircraft had frozen, leaving him helpless. On May 2, 1974, a 23-year-old pilot named Carlos left Mexico City in his Piper Aztec 24 aircraft, registered as XB-XAU, to travel to Zihuatanejo in the state of Guerrero.
Despite having intended to fly back the same day, Carlos decided on the spur of the moment to remain the night and take the next day's trip. He awoke the next morning to an overcast sky, thick smog, mist, and limited visibility. Carlos made the decision to leave at 10:30 a.m. despite these unfavourable circumstances and even skipped breakfast. He climbed to a height of 13,500 feet in the hopes of better weather. He was forced to continue climbing to 14,500 feet, where he finally saw clear blue skies because the situation was so dire.
Carlos made a conscious decision to descend as he reached the Tequesquitengo area to visually find Lake Tequesquitengo and confirm his position rather than depending simply on his instruments. However, ground mist and fog obscured his vision of the lake as he plummeted beneath the cloud cover, which set off a chain of extraordinary events.
Carlos glanced from his left side glass to the front and then abruptly noticed something on his right. Unbelievably, he saw something that looked like two plates joined at the rim, with a cupola on top, with a small window and an antenna. Just 20 centimetres from the Piper's cabin, this object was hovering just above the wing's surface. A second glance to the left revealed a comparable item similarly situated over the left wing.
Later, Carlos remembered that he was paralysed with fear and that "I was petrified." His concern increased when he became aware of a third item that appeared to be headed straight for his windscreen. It did, however, travel beneath the jet and made a peculiar noise as if it had hit the underside of the aircraft.
Carlos was shocked to discover that his airspeed had dropped from 140 to 120 nautical miles per hour. He tried to bank to the left in a last-ditch effort to get rid of the object, but the controls were stuck and wouldn't move. Carlos tried to raise the landing gear as a last resort in the hopes that it might somehow free the item underneath his aircraft. His attempts, however, were fruitless because the landing gear was still obstinately locked.
Carlos made a distress call to the control tower at Mexico City International Airport, pleading for help. He yelled, "Mayday! Mayday!" However, due to communication problems, no one returned his initial calls. He finally made contact, alerting the control tower to his perilous circumstances.
The runways were quickly closed, and an emergency landing was being prepared by the control tower. The mysterious objects persisted in their cryptic presence while still exerting total control over Carlos' aircraft.
The control tower got in touch with Carlos' uncle and aviation expert, Ignacio Silva la Mora, after hearing the distress call on May 3 at 12:15 p.m. Mora made radio contact with Carlos to assess the situation and offer advice for the upcoming landing.
As The UFOs mysteriously lifted Carlos' aircraft from 15,000 feet (the altitude over Tequesquitengo) to 15,800 feet as he got closer to the Ajusco navigational fix. The objects departed one at a time, with the left wing leaving first and rising over the cabin, then the right wing. Both items vanished in the general direction of the volcanoes Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepetl. Interestingly, as things disappeared, the aircraft's controls went back to normal, giving Carlos his ability to move again.
Carlos circled the Mexico City International Airport eight times, trying to lower the landing gear each time. He continued to communicate through radio to see if his efforts were successful. He finally succeeded in lowering the wheels after 40 minutes of circling and using a screwdriver to adjust the control column. At 1:34, Carlos expertly touched down the plane on the grassy area between runways 5 right and 5 left, where ambulances and fire trucks were waiting to offer assistance.
Carlos was thoroughly examined at the Airport Clinic after landing, which allayed any concerns about drug or alcohol use. After performing neurological, physical, and mental examinations, Dr Luis Amezcua, the head of the aviation medicine division, concluded that Carlos' symptoms were caused by low blood sugar from going for a long time without eating.
The incident raised more doubts despite the medical answer. Carlos will go through more examinations to establish the validity of his UFO encounter, according to Captain Augusto Ramirez Altamirano, the area's Chief of Inspectors. Radar confirmation was also sought, but there was no reported touch with the unknown objects.
The mysterious happenings of May 2, 1974, continue to intrigue people's thoughts and spark discussions between believers and sceptics. It is still unclear if Carlos Antonio de los Santos Montiel had a remarkable meeting with unknown objects or fell victim to a puzzling illusion. However, this exceptional occurrence serves as proof of the fascination and mystique that still surround UFO sightings.
