In the early hours just before dawn, something unusual caught my eye above the city of Ensenada, Baja California. Around 4:30 a.m., I stepped outside and noticed a luminous light suspended in the sky. At first glance, I assumed it was a star or maybe a planet, but it was far too large and close for that—more akin to the distance of an airplane.
This static light hovered silently over the city skyline, shifting its brightness with an eerie rhythm, dimming and brightening as if alive. For nearly two hours, I stood there transfixed, watching this enigmatic glow. Then, around 5:30 a.m., it suddenly contracted in size within seconds, shrinking down dramatically but remaining motionless. Just as swiftly, it expanded again, the changes in size and intensity unlike anything I’d ever seen.
My husband and cousin were with me, equally mesmerized. None of us could determine whether this was some unusual aircraft adjusting its lights or something else altogether. The experience left me with more questions than answers—a glowing enigma hanging silently in the predawn sky, its true nature still a mystery.
This encounter was more than a quick glimpse; it was a prolonged spectacle that challenged our understanding of what might be sharing our skies. Whether explanation lies in earthly technology or something beyond, the memory of that strange light over Ensenada lingers with an undeniable sense of awe and wonder.
