A young local resident shared a video on TikTok showing an unidentified flying object in the sky over Tampico, Mexico. The short clip (watch below), featuring a gray object, quickly racked up more than 10,000 views and received countless comments.
The images show a small dark shape slowly moving through the air, occasionally flickering and eventually disappearing from view, reports coasttocoastam.com.
The incident took place on a clear day and the video provides a relatively unobstructed view of the UFO. The smooth and silent movement of the object intrigued many, sparking discussions about whether it could be a drone, an experimental aircraft or something extraterrestrial.
While some viewers suggested mundane explanations, others were more inclined to believe in the alien nature of the object.
Interestingly, many locals were not entirely surprised by the sighting. Tampico has a long history of strange aerial phenomena, with numerous reports of UFO sightings over the years.
A popular local legend suggests that these mysterious visitors are responsible for the area’s relative safety from hurricanes. Despite the region’s vulnerability to tropical storms, Tampico has often been spared serious damage.
Some residents attribute this protection to the presence of alien forces, who they believe are intervening to protect the city from natural disasters.
The young man who took the video said he initially thought it was a drone, but quickly realized that the object’s behavior and appearance did not match any known technology.
