The report, as filed
On our vacation in Mexico, my fiancé and I were sitting on the beach at approximately 10:30 PM on April 19th. We were laying back on a blanket, and looking at the stars and listening to the waves. I noticed a star appear in the sky, and see it shoot out to the east, out towards the ocean. I quickly tap my fiancé and tell her to look at the shooting star. We are both watching the star as it quickly stops, spins once, and zips to the south. Me and my fiancé get up from the blanket, and follow the star as it shoots back to the east, spins twice more and disappears. All this happened in a span of 6-7 seconds. We go back to lay on the blanket, keeping our eyes to the sky trying to spot it again, from the east we see another light the size of a star move in a floating pattern to the north, and then shoots west over the hotels and disappears. This spanned a total of about 3-4 seconds. We stayed out for another 30 minutes trying to spot it or something like it, but we didn’t see anything else and went back inside.

Hello Me and my wife went on vacation to Cancun and we were sitting in our balcony with ocean view saw a light in distance. Took the video and at first it was sitting at one place with yellow and orange globe. At one point it went to small and got bigger again. Later it started moving with blinking light.

Romantic walk with my wife on our last night at our resort. I often point out Orion as I follow astronomy. Walking over the walk bridge, turned right on the walking path, I looked up and saw what I thought was 1 x satellite. Pointed it to my wife who couldn't see it. Oddly enough the dot seemed slow and accelerated and to my surprise curved and dissappeared. I stopped and froze… my wife said and I quote "sorry I didn't see your satellite, let it go and come walk". I stood there stuned and looked at her and said… I don't know how to explain but I saw something that curved, it was not a satellite. I was still looking up trying to relocate and she joined me looking up. We saw 2 dots (size like one of the Orion stars) appearing moving different directions not simultaneously then disappeared. My wife was calm but I was so excited I couldn't stand still. I was hoping to see people near us but no luck. Our cells were in the room charging so I asked people coming out of the bridge for the time, 9:47 PM was given, I deleted 3 mins as it was my expectation of the time between my sighting and asking the time. I didn't sleep all night and watched several times the sky but nothing.

On September 7 February 7 approximately 10 PM my wife and I witnessed a round ball traveling along the hotel row coast in Cancun. It was traveling at a high speed against the wind. The wind was real heavy that day as well. It was faster than anything we think is possible at that speed. Once it got a little ways down from where we were, it just disappeared. The UFO looked about 10 to 20 feet wide maybe and And metallic with no markings. No lights no nothing. It was also silent we didn’t hear a thing as it went by. It also happened so quick and we were so mesmerized that we were not able to take a photo
