Mexico wave — July 11, 1991 eclipse
During the total solar eclipse over Mexico City, dozens filmed a metallic object hovering in the sky. Spread by Jaime Maussan, it ignited Mexican ufology; one of the most documented sighting waves.
What is claimedAt least 16+ videographers recorded the same object from different spots; thousands said they saw it, starting a wave that continues.
Skeptical viewTim Printy's analysis concludes the object was the planet Venus, visible near the Sun during totality; the 'trail' and motion were camera artifacts, and professional astronomers reported nothing anomalous.
