In the quiet backyard of my uncle’s house in Comalcalco, Tabasco, something extraordinary happened one summer afternoon in 1980. I was just six years old, playing alone when suddenly, music drifted down from above. Looking up, I saw a strange object hovering directly over me — like an upside-down cooking pot spinning gently in circles. Its lights shimmered and changed color, casting eerie glows across the sky.
I was completely alone, unable to call out for anyone’s attention. Time slipped oddly away, and I later woke as night fell, confused to find myself still outside. My mother was inside the house, cooking, when I tried to run in; but then the music returned, enveloping me once more.
The object remained, glowing and circling above, its lights now brighter and more intense. Then, something incredible happened — a voice spoke to me, coming directly from the strange craft. In that moment, I understood every word, responding with equal clarity. I was filled with a strange joy, a connection to something beyond my world.
My mother called to me from the house, but her words no longer made sense to me. I urged her to look outside, and when she did, she saw the luminous craft too. Yet, she wanted me inside, but I was captivated. Slowly, the object began moving away. I ran after it, nearly colliding with a taxi—my father inside, calling me back.
I chased the glowing enigma for a hundred meters until it vanished behind the park’s forest.
In the following days, my play was stalked by orange spheres of light that floated silently, watching. From that day on, the memory of that mysterious encounter has haunted my thoughts. What was the entity that watched over me, spoke to me, and left me wondering about those lost moments?
These fragmented pieces of time, the lights, the sound, and the inexplicable connection, continue to stir questions deep within my soul. Was it truly an encounter with the unknown, or a dream woven into my childhood? The mystery lingers, inviting any who see the sky to wonder what truths might lie just above.
