On a clear evening in Valle de Bravo, Estado de México, an otherworldly spectacle unfolded, etching a moment of unforgettable mystery into the fabric of the night. At around 7 PM on December 5, 1998, a light unlike any ordinary star or aircraft appeared, radiating an intense white glow akin to a powerful headlight but enveloped in a peculiar, cloud-like aura. This wasn’t a simple beam piercing the darkness—it hovered silently, projecting a strange, bright fog that blurred the edges of perception.
For two minutes, the light held its enigmatic position high above, unmoving, as if suspended by unseen forces. Its brilliance contrasted with the otherwise pristine sky, casting an eerie illumination that was both captivating and surreal. Then, without warning, the source of the glow vanished, leaving only the lingering fog—a luminous residue—that slowly faded into nothingness.
Intriguingly, this phenomenon was witnessed simultaneously by my sister, some 600 kilometers away in Oaxaca City, hinting at the vast scale and mysterious nature of the event. The sight defied easy explanation, its blend of intense light and ethereal fog challenging our understanding of night sky phenomena.
Such encounters ignite the imagination and beckon us deeper into the unknown, reminding us that the skies above Valle de Bravo hold secrets still waiting to be discovered.
