It was Christmas Eve of 2000 in Tlaltenango, Puebla, when I first noticed the strange lights flickering in the night sky. Curious, I climbed onto the roof and called out to my cousins, aunts, and uncles to share this eerie spectacle. For about an hour, a luminous shape shifted before our eyes, repeatedly changing colors—glowing red, white, and blue—appearing and vanishing in an unsettling rhythm.
This was no ordinary light show. My grandfather, ever pragmatic, suggested it might be a distant road. But what road could be seen from miles away, and one that shone blue in the darkness? It simply didn’t add up.
Locals have whispered about encounters on the desolate roads here. One tale speaks of a truck that seemed to be the focus of an alien craft’s attention. The driver recounted how, during the eerie moment the craft tried to lift him off the ground, the truck’s engine suddenly died and the doors locked tight, trapping him in a chilling embrace of silence and fear. Inexplicably, the craft never succeeded in its attempt to absorb the vehicle.
That Christmas night left a lasting impression on all who witnessed those strange, ethereal lights in Tlaltenango. Even today, they remain a testament to the unexplained phenomena that lurk beyond our understanding—just beyond the edge of the sky.
