Today we were exploring Mayan Ruins, and tonight right after dusk, we were sitting in chairs on our balcony. I was watching a darker cloud and a light droped out of it. It droped then went south, stopped, then droped and went north. Kind of a zig zag. It looked like it was coming toward us then went streight up incredably fast, out of sight, into a different cloud.

Anyone else in the Cancun area see this tonight ?

Once owned these: FirstFairway@Walden X 2; Lawai Beach; ManhattanClub; PuebloBonitoRose; 4 South Africa--now timeshare-free
Google "Cancun UFO" Here's one reportfrom several years ago that sounds somewhat like yours. Interesting.

I saw something like that in VA Beach decades ago....'cept there were three of them. I'm not the only one who saw it. Years later I read about lots of sightings of this in one of those "unexplained mysteries" books.

But Easy, I've gotta ask if it might have had anything to do with Tequila.....

No booze, just some wine with dinner after an eight hour day of adventure. My wife watched it as well and it lasted a couple of minutes. We haven't seen anything like this, ever.

I swear I saw the oddest moving lights in the sky from my Royal Haciendas oceanfront patio in April 2009, when they had an electricity outage and we were sitting out there in the dark.

In a recent thread on a different forum the answer to what we saw from our deck at the Villa del Palmar was presented. I think we saw ball lightening.

This is the kind of light we saw. It was off and on pouring rain and very warm that day until that evening when thing cooled really quick.
