On a quiet December night in Salinas Victoria, Nuevo León, I witnessed a remarkable phenomenon that still lingers in my memory. At precisely 12:15 AM on December 25, 2016, my eyes caught sight of a luminous sphere suspended at about a 60-degree angle in the northeastern sky. This glowing orb traveled swiftly from east-southeast to west-northwest, moving at an estimated speed of 100 miles per hour.
What made this sighting unforgettable was not just the speed and trajectory, but the sphere’s captivating appearance. It shimmered with a vivid orange light and was surrounded by an ethereal aura or haze that seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy. Alongside the steady glow, there were bursts of star-like flashes that flickered across its surface, adding an almost hypnotic quality to its presence.
The object was silent, making no noise as it glided through the sky. It appeared smaller than the moon but was undeniably distinct against the backdrop of the night. Its coordinates were approximately 25° 57′ 38.1″ N latitude and 100° 17′ 27.3″ W longitude, anchoring this extraordinary encounter permanently in the landscape of Salinas Victoria.
Such sightings ignite the imagination and draw us ever closer to the mysteries that the night sky holds. Was it an undiscovered natural phenomenon, or something far more enigmatic? For those who watch the skies with a hunger for the unexplained, moments like this sphere’s silent passage are reminders of the vast unknown that stretches overhead, inviting us to look up and wonder.
