A security camera overlooking a town in Mexico captured footage of a peculiar glowing object streaking through the night sky. The puzzling video was reportedly filmed on June 25th in the community of Tepoztlán and subsequently went viral on social media after it was shared online by a mystified resident. In the footage (seen above), an object erratically zips through the sky and leaves a curious-looking trail behind it. While one might initially dismiss the oddity as merely an insect, towards the end of the footage, the anomaly seemingly reveals itself to be a rather sizeable glowing cylinder.
In response to the footage circulating online, one individual marveled that he had actually something similar in the sky a week prior to the UFO being filmed. ""No one will believe me, but I saw exactly that on the night of June 18," the witness reportedly marveled, "it passed about 5 meters above my house in Colonia Del Carmen, it came from the fields of Xolatlaco and passed in the direction of Amatlán, it passed at great speed staying a few seconds in my field of vision. I wouldn't know how to explain it, because that's how it happened with that flashing light."
As for what the object could have been, some have suggested that it is supernatural in nature as the camera is stationed near the prominent archaeological site known as the Tepozteco Pyramid and the community of Tepoztlán has been designated one of Mexico's 'magical towns' due to a certain mysticism surrounding the area. More skeptical observers will, of course, put forward more prosaic possibilities for the glowing anomaly, such as a drone or a clever hoax. What do you think the security camera caught on film?
