The Acapulco Transmission - Rafael Pacheco Pérez’s 1976 Alien Message

In June 1976, 20-year-old student pilot Rafael Pacheco Pérez vanished from radar shortly after takeoff in a Cessna 150. An hour later, he reappeared over Acapulco, a trip that should have taken three hours, with most of his fuel untouched and no memory of the journey. During that missing hour, Acapulco air traffic controller Carlos de Kretschy and others heard a calm, unfamiliar voice over the radio claiming to speak through Pacheco. The message warned humanity and responded in multiple languages Pacheco didn’t know. Was it a time slip, UFO encounter, or something stranger? We break down the flight path, the radio transmission, official reports, and similar pilot cases like Carlos Antonio de los Santos and Frederick Valentich.
