The setting is the Independence Day air parade over Mexico City, an event watched by very large crowds with a great many cameras pointed at the sky. The claim is that an object passed through the Air Force formations during the flypast, and that a police officer photographed it.

What is on the record

Two tellings on a single channel, two claimants recorded as Demetrio Feria and police officers, and no documents. The grade is testimony.

The two tellings do not agree on when this happened, and the archive keeps the discrepancy visible. One places the object ten minutes after the fighters passed in the 1992 parade, and contrasts it with 1991, when an object is said to have flown beneath the fighters. The other describes a disc passing through F-5 formations and helicopters. The case is filed at 1993. Three years appear across two tellings, and the honest reading is that the sources are discussing a recurring claim about the parade rather than one fixed date.

Mexico City in the early 1990s produced an enormous volume of UFO video, much of it during daytime events with many cameras present, and much of it later attributed to balloons. That context does not settle this case and it is not offered as a dismissal, but it is the sky this claim sits in.

No photograph is in our holdings.

Why it sits where it does

L3 on two tellings and two claimants through a single channel, with the dating unresolved between them. What crossed the parade formations is not resolved here.
