New Book: South Texas UFOs: Chilling Encounters on the Mexican Border
I began working on my first book about UFOs way back in 2005 and have done over 30 others since then and hundreds of public speeches on the topic. Before getting sidetracked with non-local cases, my first book was intended to be about UFOs in South Texas. I collected a lot of data but then just held onto it. Finally – 21 years later in the making – I have just published South Texas UFOs: Chilling Encounters on the Mexican Border.” It covers all the major cases from the Rio Grande Valley, with a select few from the larger South Texas area. My new book is available in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook. It’s 169 pages with tons of photos, maps, and illustrations. I hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Deep in the Rio Grande Valley and along the Texas-Mexico border, local residents have been seeing strange objects streaking across the sky for decades. In South Texas UFOs: Chilling Encounters on the Mexican Border, author Noe Torres documents the region’s most persistent unexplained cases — a Harlingen family terrorized by a craft and its occupant, a UFO that shot beams of fire at eight construction workers in Edinburg, a McAllen man abducted by grays and later taken from his own apartment, a UFO that buzzed Brownsville before crashing in Mexico and being recovered by the CIA, and dozens more encounters involving lawmen, Border Patrol agents, the military, and ordinary South Texas residents. Meticulously researched using newspaper archives, declassified Air Force files, and firsthand witness testimony, this is South Texas history that defies official explanation.

Book Discloses “Lost” UFO Cases of the Old West
Unidentified flying objects were seen frequently in the skies over North America during the mid to late 1800s, according to Lost UFO Cases of the Old West, a new book by authors Noe Torres and John LeMay. The book is available at Amazon.com.
Although they have previously written six books about UFO incidents from the 1800s, the authors say that they continue to discover more cases, causing them to keep writing. “This is our second Lost Cases book,” Torres said, “The term ‘lost’ indicates that these incidents are mostly unknown, having vanished into history. Yet when one reads them, they are amazing from the perspective of what we now know about UFOs.”
Among the cases covered in this book is an incredible 1854 sighting over the nation’s capitol during the administration of U.S. president Franklin Pierce. People walking the streets of Washington, D.C. were astonished to see an extremely bright “crimson red” light moving slowly across the sky above them.
In 1884, onlookers in New York City also saw a jaw-dropping sight that some called a “meteor” but had very strange characteristics. It was described in Scientific American magazine as looking like a “gigantic sword of fire, moving handle first.” The resemblance to a modern rocket launch is uncanny. Religionists called it a “sign or wonder” from God.
Among the strangest of these cases was the landing in 1897 of a strange craft near Linn Grove, Iowa, out of which came two “queer-looking” humanoids. One of the eyewitnesses said the two occupants of the UFO “had the longest whiskers they ever saw in their lives.” As the creatures left, they dropped two strange “stones” made of an unknown material.
These are just a few of the many strange cases contained in this new book by Torres and LeMay, who also authored a series of books called The Real Cowboys & Aliens. They previously published The Real Cowboys & Aliens: The Lost Cases and Space Monsters of the Old West. Their latest book is available at Amazon.com.
New Book Discloses Stunning Encounter with UFO that Shot Beams of Fire in South Texas
In 1966, eight construction workers in Edinburg, Texas, were terrified by a huge UFO that broke out of a cloud bank and began firing a “heat ray” at them and their camp site.
A new book describes an astonishing UFO incident from 1966 that took place in deep South Texas, near the Mexican border, and has only recently been disclosed. The 124-page book titled Fire From the Sky: 1966 UFO Incident in Edinburg, Texas is available on Amazon.com as a paperback and as an eBook, at https://amzn.to/3LNwZFx.
Author Noe Torres, whose work has been featured on History Channel, Travel Channel, Coast to Coast AM, and others, was first contacted about this case in 2012 by eyewitness Jose J. Ponce. Ponce’s dad was the deputy sheriff that was dispatched to the scene of the UFO encounter in 1966, but due to pressure from the military, his dad promised to never reveal what happened in his lifetime. It was only after Deputy Ponce passed away that his son decided to come forward with one of the most remarkable UFO cases ever recorded in the South Texas region.
As a crew of eight construction workers relaxed in their mobile home after a tough day of excavating caliche, their work camp was suddenly “invaded” by a large, illuminated UFO that came out of a cloud bank and hovered directly above their mobile home. The object kicked up storm-like conditions at the work site, and the men raced outside in terror, experiencing gale-force winds and a loud throbbing / humming sound.
In the chaos and confusion, one of the workers discharged his weapon at the hovering UFO, and what happened next is beyond belief. Shortly after, Deputy J. R. Milo Ponce was dispatched to assess what had happened, and he was later joined at the scene by his son, Jose J. Ponce, whose story of the incident formed the basis for this book.
After the story of this amazing encounter came out in 2012, the town where it happened — Edinburg, Texas — began having an annual commemoration. The Edinburg UFO Festival has, over the years, grown into one of the top UFO festivals in the world, having recently been rated the 3rd best by Listverse.com.
Fire From the Sky: 1966 UFO Incident in Edinburg, Texas is the first book ever written about this case, drawing on the author’s firsthand involvement with the case and his close relationship with eyewitness Jose J. Ponce. The book is available directly from Amazon.com as a paperback and as an eBook, at https://amzn.to/3LNwZFx.
