According to a newspaper article in MILENIO written by Marlene Santos, UFOs were reported in Leon, Guanajuato on Sunday, September 28, 2008.

While the article states that the sighting took place in the vicinity of the Leon Cathedral, it should be noted that on that same date, the traditional parade commemorating the 198th anniversary of the capture of the Alhondiga de Granaditas (a turning point in the Mexican War of Independence - Ed.) took place.

According to the article, the sighting involved three unidentified flying objects looking like white spots in the sky, with the peculiar detail that one of them seemed to change shape and could occasionally be seen as a horseshoe.

The possible fitness phantom floated around the nautilus and weight-lifting equipment for about two hours in the Overland Park Anytime Gym, which was empty, according to KMBC-TV in Kansas City. At one point, the orb lingered by the dumbbells.

The motion-sensitive camera was set off a total of about nine times between about 2:20 and 4:14 a.m. on Sept. 12.

Newspaper Editors, UFOs, the Greatest Story Ever Untold and Just a Dash of Bobby Kennedy

"Those of us in public life often call upon the press to be more understanding, sometimes with justice. But we also know that the day you are unanimously joined in praise of officials or policies, when power is held in awe and skepticism disappears -- on that day democracy will begin to wither."

"Where the question is one of policy and national direction, the bias -- by government and press -- should be toward disclosure. . .There is always a tendency in government to confuse secrecy with security."

"We are long past the time when a few men could fully comprehend the operations of government."

(-- Remarks by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, from his address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1967.)
