1955, ZULA, OCOTLAN, MEXICO, SEVERAL PEOPLE:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Mexican ufologist Luis Ramirez Reyes reportedly told in his 1995 book that in Zula, Ocotlan, Mexico, in 1955, in daytime, several young witnesses were playing in the backyard when they saw a strange little man.

They claimed that the being had human features and wore a tight-fitting suit that covered his entire body except the face.

The first who saw the little man was a 6-year-old boy, he initially thought it was a doll and attempted to touch him, but when he approached, the little man stepped back.

This alarmed the youngster who ran to his house and told his mother what he had seen. she did not believe him, but the boy insisted and dragged her outside.

Once outside, the mother almost ran into the strange humanoid and noticed that he had large lid-less protruding eyes that reminded her of a fly. She was terrified and fainted right away.

Upon hearing the commotion outside other family members ran out to see what the problem was.

Upon coming to her senses, the woman saw that the humanoid had now boarded a sort of floating platform that he seemed to control with a pair of pedals and a horizontal instrument panel on the top. The object seemed to move in short bursts or jumps and vaulted over a nearby fence, then rose into the air and entered a large hovering metallic disc-shaped object that shot away at high speed quickly disappearing from sight.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Zula, Ocotlan, Mexico, in 1955, in daytime, several young witnesses reported encountering a strange little man as they played in the backyard. They claimed that the being had human features and wore a form-fitting suit that covered his body completely except for his face. The first one who saw the little man was a 6-year old boy, who at first thought it was a doll and attempted to touch the humanoid, but when he approached the figure, this one stepped back. This alarmed the youngster who ran to his house and told his mother what he had seen. His mother did not believe him, but the boy insisted and dragged her outside. Once outside she almost ran into the strange humanoid and noticed that he had large lid-less protruding eyes that reminded her of a fly. Terrified, she fainted right away. Upon hearing the commotion outside other family members ran out to see what the problem was. Upon coming to her senses the woman noticed that the humanoid had now boarded a sort of floating platform that he seemed to control with a pair of pedals and a horizontal instrument panel on the top. The object seemed to move in short bursts or jumps and vaulted over a nearby fence, it then rose into the air and entered a large hovering metallic disc-shaped object that shot away at high speed quickly disappearing from sight.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Luis Ramirez Reyes, "Contacto: Mexico".

Points to consider:

The late-surfacing story lacks information and lacks credibility. The story has continuity gaps, for example, if the family when outside to see the cause of the ruckus, why is there no work of what they saw, and instead, a recover from the unconscious mother who takes on he story?

Interesting as it seems, with the apparent multiple witnesses, this appears to be a case with no investigation report available, no information on its origin, no indication that it was checked in any manner.
