Rafael Pacheco Pérez: The Real Story of the Pilot Possessed by Aliens
Manage episode 505279692 series 3530669
**Discussion begins at 2:22**
On June 21, 1976, Rafael Pacheco Pérez, a student pilot at the Escuela de Aviación México, embarked on a solo training flight from Mexico City to Chimalhuacán. Shortly after takeoff, he vanished from radar, and an hour later, reappeared over Acapulco—approximately three hours in the opposite direction of his intended destination. The aircraft, designed for short flights, was low on fuel and not equipped for such a journey. During communication with air traffic control, Pacheco's voice reportedly became altered, delivering a message from an entity claiming to be using him as a "microphone" to transmit a message. The message conveyed that the beings were from the same universe, observing humanity, and warned of an impending global catastrophe if humanity did not change. Upon landing, Pacheco appeared disoriented and was taken for a medical evaluation. Despite being tested for intoxication, he was found to be in perfect health, with no drugs or alcohol in his system. But what is the truth behind one of Mexico's most popular aviation mysteries? Was the pilot truly possessed by extraterrestrial creatures trying to save humanity, and if so were they able to break the time space continuum? Was he suffering from a Menty-B? Was it all a hoax perpetrated by the pilot? Or is this just another urban legend to debunk?
