‘Spectacular video, contact between humans and alien races is getting closer and closer,’ another X user chimed in. ‘Anyone who continues to believe that it is a balloon, a drone, a hologram or something else is either blind or does not want to see reality.’
However, others were quick to dispel the claims, pointing out that it was most likely just one of the many sky lanterns that float across the Mexican skies during the Globos de Cantoya festival.
