A webcam watching over Mexico City captured footage of an odd UFO eerily floating in the night sky. According to a local media report, the mysterious scene was spotted shortly after 4 AM on February 15th on a livestream broadcast from the historic Latin American Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the city. Shared online by a social media account that monitors public webcams in Mexico, the peculiar clip (featured above) shows what appears to be a dark, round object, slightly illuminated by the city below, moving slowly across the sky before seemingly descending until it could no longer be seen.
Since being posted online over the weekend, the curious clip has spawned an array of theories for what the weird object could have been. Setting aside the extraterrestrial hypothesis, some of the more prosaic possibilities put forward by viewers include a bird, a drone, or, perhaps most plausible, an errant Valentine's Day balloon set aloft by someone in the city.
