On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, a metallic, circular object was captured hovering over the skies of Polanco, Mexico City, reigniting discussions about unidentified aerial phenomena in the capital. The footage was shared by journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan on his X account, drawing immediate attention.

The video, reportedly recorded by a witness from the Miguel Hidalgo borough, shows a round object seemingly suspended at a high altitude. Due to the distance and image quality, details such as size, speed, and physical characteristics remain unclear.

Accompanying the video, Maussan wrote: “An unidentified object caught the attention of Polanco residents, Mexico City. The witness captured this phenomenon in the sky, sparking various hypotheses about what it could be.”

Social media quickly buzzed with theories ranging from a metallic balloon reflecting sunlight to drones, experimental devices, or even anomalous aerial phenomena. No official aviation authority has commented on the sighting, nor is there evidence linking the object to Mexico City International Airport or any government agency.

Experts caution that videos taken from afar can create optical illusions. Atmospheric refraction, digital zoom on smartphones, and lack of visual references often complicate accurate identification of sky objects.

While the origin of this object remains unconfirmed, the footage has reopened public conversation about UFOs—a subject Maussan has been closely associated with in Mexico for decades.

For communities navigating urban life and complex social realities, such phenomena invite curiosity and remind us of the mysteries still present in our skies.
