While hanging clothes to dry in Monterrey, Chiapas, Mexico, on the evening of February 28, 2021, I noticed something unusual drifting slowly across the sky. At first glance, it resembled an owl, but as I focused, the object defied simple explanation. It hovered quietly, glowing softly along its edges, shifting its shape and color in an eerie, mesmerizing fashion. The form morphed like a plastic bag twisting in the wind or a luminescent bubble pulsating gently — some moments evoking a medusa’s undulations or a celestial being’s ethereal glow.
The silent apparition remained visible for about three minutes, moving relatively close to the houses in Garcia, Nuevo León, without any sound or identifiable features that matched drones or conventional aircraft. It vanished into the distance, leaving behind a lingering sense of wonder and confusion. My attempt to spot it again from the terrace was futile — it had disappeared without a trace.
Sightings like this captivate those of us who seek the unknown, offering glimpses into phenomena that challenge our understanding of the skies above Monterrey. The shifting light and color hinted at something alive or perhaps an advanced technology beyond our grasp. Such encounters remind us that the universe still holds mysteries, waiting silently in the dark.
