In order to get to the bus loading area, you will need to cross the street which runs in front of the international terminal. In order to do so, you must go over a pedestrian bridge. Look for signs in the terminal for public bus service. To get to the bridge, follow these instructions:
 Upon exiting Customs and entering the public area of the terminal, turn left.
 Turn left again just past Alamo Car Rental’s office. You will now be walking away from the street.
 Turn right at the end of the hallway.
 There will be an elevator on your right. Press 1 (since you are starting out on floor PB, planta baja), or if you prefer you can walk up a ramp to the second floor (which of course is labeled 1st floor.)
 Once upstairs. make a U-turn out of the elevator or a left turn from the top of the ramp. The glass enclosed bridge which goes across the street will be straight ahead of you (although you won’t be able to see it because of small shops blocking your view.)
 The ticket booth for the buses to Cuernavaca is at the other end of the bridge. Several bus lines use the same counter.
 Purchase a ticket from the Pulman de Morelos bus line. The fare, which must be paid in pesos, is the equivalent of about $10 U.S. dollars. (When this was written, in December 2004, the fare was $108 pesos per person.)
 With your ticket in hand, you need to go down to street level. There is an elevator to your left as you are facing the ticket counter, or you may use the ramp at the end of the hallway to your right. Several stairways are to your righ,t as well. Unfortunately, the escalators are usually set to run up rather than down.
 Your ticket is for an assigned seat, so you need to be sure you are on time. The buses are very punctual.

MEXICO RESORT A GETAWAY FOR EXTRATERRESTRIALS?

TEPOZTLAN -- Seattle Times by Ricardo Sandoval. When Carlos Diaz came down from his first mountainside encounter with a UFO 20 years ago, he was worried people in this popular resort town would shun him as a nut case. But what stunned Diaz was his inability to get anyone here excited. To residents of Tepoztlan - and many of its countless weekend visitors -- his account of getting close to a glowing object pulsing with yellow, orange and red streaks was no big deal. In this sun-drenched haven for residents of nearby Mexico City, believers are as common as the healing crystals and Indian sweathouses that help make Tepoztlan a popular getaway in a country steeped in superstition. The commonplace nature of UFO sightings here, against a surreal backdrop of jagged peaks and an Aztec pyramid halfway up a 1,000 foot cliff, also make Tepoztlan ideal for the UFO information center Diaz plans to open this month. "I found people in their 90s who have had so many sightings that they now take them for granted," said Diaz, who says he has witnessed dozens of visits here by spacecraft. "They simply refer to them now as sunspots in the night sky." Diaz says he wants to help others find the truth through a nonprofit clearinghouse about extraterrestrials and their love of visiting Mexico and Tepoztlan. In the past decade alone, hundreds of sightings throughout Mexico have been reported to UFO experts, often above Mexico City and it's surrounding volcanic mountains. Video recorders have captured odd shapes over the capital's upscale neighborhoods. During Pope John Paul II's recent visit, many people -- including radio and TV reporters -- talked quite earnestly of seeing strange lights in the sky during one of his Masses. That pales beside Tepoztlan's record for ethereal sightings. Some longtime residents report soberly that 60 percent of the people here have seen UFOs. Many say it's because the copper-laden mountains, which bedevil cell phones, televisions and radios, also act as beacons for extraterrestrials. Others say it's the "seven bands of energy" -- electromagnetic waves -- streaming through the valley around Tepoztlan. It's probably mass hysteria and a desire to be part of the hip crowd in very hip Tepoztlan, countered Mario Torres Lujan, a physicist who edits the magazine Contacto OVNI. OVNI is the equivalent acronym in Spanish to "UFO." Torres Lujan says he believes visitors come calling from elsewhere in the universe, but insists he tries to bring science into his investigations. He says he gets as excited about uncovering hoaxes as by establishing legitimate claims. He says many of the Tepoztlan sightings are real and even predate the Spanish conquest in the 1520s.

CUERNAVACA -- While repairing the roof of my house March 15, around a 11:00 AM, I spotted a large shiny object in the western sky upon taking a closer look through binoculars I managed to spot several smaller objects surrounding the large object. I managed to count at least forty smaller objects. I invited my sister to witness the event as a backup eyewitness. As we passed the binoculars back and forth to each other we suddenly realized that the smaller objects were entering the large object one by one very slowly. It took about half an hour for the smaller objects to enter the large one. Another large object of the same size joined the first object side by side and they both proceeded to move south slowly at first and then disappeared outwards into space.
