Dozens of residents of the Avenida Porticos in barrio San Antonio de los Buenos in Tijuana, claim having seen a UFO in the early morning hours of September 1, 2002. It had a diameter of approximately 50 meters and it remained suspended over the area at low altitude, even while covered by cloud.
Our sources, who spoke to us via telephone at the newsroom, said that the time was approximately 2:15 a.m. when they noticed a powerful light in the sky. Those who were first in detecting it looked to the sky to see what this large object might prove to be, and they say it was not a helicopter.
They state that they woke up other neighbors and friends, since they were afraid that they were suffering from a strange collective hallucination, having been at a party and consumed alcohol earlier.
However, this was not the case, since those who were awakened and roused from their beds and had not consumed liquor saw exactly the same thing: a highly luminous object. What is most curious, according to our sources, is that the object in question was noiseless, even when it rose higher into the air, before vanishing from sight.
They do not know if others saw this strange flying object, but from the moment that the entire community of this section of Tijuana saw the object, they have not dismissed the possibility of having seen a UFO.
Many thanks to Scott Corrales, IHU, and David Triay Lucatero for the article.
