Viewers were left in suspense after an apparent UFO was spotted over Cuernavaca, a city in the south-central Mexican state of Morelos.
In a viral video, a flying saucer is seen in a fixed position in the sky as bystanders at a gas station trained their cell phone cameras on it.
“This is here on Teopanzolco Avenue, on the corner of Plan of Ayala,” one of the stunned witnesses can be heard saying in the clip. ‘It’s not just me, there are several people who see it. In other words: this is how the object hangs there.’
Residents of the southern Mexican city of Cuernavaca claimed to have captured the moment a UFO appeared near a gas station in broad daylight.
A Mexican resident was one of many who stopped at a gas station to document the alleged sighting of a UFO
Some social media users questioned the veracity of the site.
“The camera and recording all suck, that’s why they don’t believe them and even joke about them,” one person wrote. ‘Anything that is blurry is not clear. They even record in 4K on their damn phones and come out with that.”
“It’s not true because it’s swinging like the wind is moving it,” another social media user commented. “How long did it take and from there? Where did it go?’
“They saw how unsafe the city was and decided to go somewhere else,” joked another. ‘Aliens, Morelos is not safe!!’
While one person claimed it may have been a drone, another recalled seeing the same footage six years ago, while adding that the object’s appearance has never been verified.
Social media users seemed divided on whether it was a UFO
The sighting comes just a month after the viral video filmed by Eduardo Chavez showed what appeared to be UFOs hovering near his tire repair business in the western municipality of Guadalajara.
“When I saw it I was impressed, but as the minutes passed I saw it as normal and that’s when I made the video,” Chavez told DailyMail.com at the time.
But some TikTokers thought the video was a clever way to promote his small business.
“The people who studied marketing for years and this guy blew them away,” one person joked.
“Is he aware that if the UFO is real, it has become a potentially unbeatable commercial?” another commented.
