Viewers were left guessing after an apparent UFO was spotted floating over Cuernavaca, a city in the south central Mexican state of Morelos.
In viral video, a flying saucer-style is seen in a fixed position in the sky as bystanders at a gas station trained their cellphone 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 are seeing it. In other words, this is how the object is suspended there.’
A resident in Mexico was among many who paused at a gas station to record the alleged sighting of a UFO
Some social media users questioned the veracity of the siting.
‘The camera and recording are all crappy, that’s why they don’t believe them and even make fun of them,’ one person wrote. ‘Everything blurry is not clear. They even record in 4K on their damn phones and come out with that.’
‘It’s false because it sways as if the wind were moving it,’ another social media user commented. ‘How long did it last and from there? Where did it go?’
‘They saw how unsafe the city was and they decided to go somewhere else,’ another joked. ‘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 was not never verified.
Social media users appeared to be divided as to 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 went by, 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 studying Marketing for years and this guy blew them away,’ one person quipped.
‘Is he aware that if the UFO is real it made a very possibly unbeatable commercial?’ another commented.
