It was the night of December 31st, 2021 — New Year’s Eve in Cuautla, Morelos, Mexico — when my family and I found ourselves staring skyward at an unexplainable phenomenon. Just about 20 meters above us, an object with flickering colored lights hovered silently and motionless, as if suspended in time. This spectacle lasted for nearly ten minutes, entrancing us all.
The object seemed alive with subtle, shifting colors that turned slowly as if scanning the landscape beneath it. Then, as silently as it appeared, it began a gradual ascent, disappearing steadily into the distant horizon.
There was something deeply unsettling yet mesmerizing about that cold, hovering presence. It defied all earthly logic, and the memory haunts me—a strange, beautiful enigma against the night sky of Cuautla.
