On the night of November 17, 1989, just as the early hours crept by, I witnessed a haunting spectacle over the hills of Ensenada, Baja California. It was around 7:30 PM when my eyes caught three amber beams piercing through the darkness at a 45-degree angle, descending silently towards my neighborhood. These rays emanated from a circular craft slowly hovering above the houses nestled on the hillside.
I stood on the hillside, surrounded by homes that climbed its 500-foot height. As the glowing disks drifted closer, I called my family, who were gathered in my sister-in-law’s house, to witness this enigmatic visitor with me. By the time everyone stepped outside, the craft had dipped just below the rooftops at the hill’s summit.
The saucer made a deliberate, slow turn, gliding westward parallel to the hill’s ridge. My wife, sister-in-law, and two children watched intently as the silent craft hovered approximately 300 feet above us. Within the circular opening at the craft’s base, I counted three distinct amber rays of light, bathing the surroundings in an eerie glow. Its dome silhouette was sharply outlined against the ambient city lights, revealing a shape that matched countless classic saucer depictions.
My children pointed out numerous blue-colored windows, adding a surreal layer to an already strange encounter. Despite the craft’s low approach and slow passage, neighbors on the opposite side of the street remained oblivious, engrossed in conversation, as this silent visitor disappeared quietly behind the hill.
Interestingly, this sighting was part of a wave of unusual daytime and nighttime reports around that time, suggesting that the skies above Ensenada quietly held secrets beyond ordinary understanding. This moment, etched into our memories, remains an intriguing chapter in the annals of unexplained phenomena—a silent, glowing disk slipping through the night, unseen yet unforgettable.
