On the evening of September 30th, 2020, just as dusk settled over Salinas Victoria in Nuevo León, Mexico, I witnessed an extraordinary phenomenon that still chills me to the bone. For about three minutes, a bizarre crescent-shaped object sailed across the high-altitude sky in a silent, swift passage. Its shape resembled a crescent moon, but there was something otherworldly about its white glow — pure, cold, and reminiscent of moonlight.
What struck me most was the object’s orientation: the circular part led the way, carving a path from the southeast to the northwest, while the pointed tips trailed behind. There were no flashing or navigation lights, nothing like an aircraft or drone I’d seen before. Its smooth, graceful movement felt deliberate, almost sentient.
Then, in an uncanny twist, the object seemed to alter its course, moving in a circular motion. A sudden flash of light flared up, transforming its silhouette into a bar of white light — as if a celestial brush had painted a line of pure moonlight across the darkening sky. The entire spectacle lasted only minutes, yet it left an indelible mark on my mind.
This enigmatic light show feels like a brush with the unknown, a silent whisper from beyond our reach. What was this crescent moon-shaped apparition? A secret military craft, a dazzling atmospheric phenomenon, or something far more mysterious? For those of us who gaze into the night sky hoping to glimpse the strange and unexplained, moments like these are both thrilling and haunting — a reminder that the universe still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered.
