OCTOBER 1965, MEXICO CITY, MEXICO, PEOPLE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

A story coming from Fabio Picasso claims that in Mexico City, Mexico, on October 1965, in the evening or at 04:30 a.m., a man and his wife had stepped out to empty an ashbin on a nearby empty lot when they saw a bright orange disc-shaped object flying low over the area.

Two days later at the local Tacubaya Plaza, witnesses saw four 2-meters tall human-like people, wearing tight-fitting silvery clothing, with knee-high boots. They had long silvery hair and large slanted eyes. They remained silent and did not speak to anybody.

It is claimed that several witnesses followed them until they disappeared from view and that they were apparently seen again around 8 p.m..

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Mexico City, Mexico, on October 1965, in the evening, at 04:30 a.m., a man and his wife had stepped out to empty an ashbin on a nearby empty lot when they saw a bright orange disc shaped object flying low over the area. Two days later at the local Tacubaya Plaza, witnesses saw four very tall human like figures, 2 meters in height. They wore tight-fitting silvery clothing, with knee high boots. They had long silvery hair and large slanted eyes. They remained silent and did not speak to anybody. Several witnesses followed the strangers until they disappeared from view. They were apparently seen again around 2000.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Fabio Picasso.

Points to consider:

Since there seems to be no other information, no published investigation, the question of the story's credibility is obviously strongly posed.
