Light over the Sierra Madre, Jalisco
On the evening of 5 December 1998 a very bright white light was reported by many people across Jalisco and Aguascalientes as it crossed over the Sierra Madre.
1998 CE · 21.30, -102.80 · status: account
The account
The report was compiled by the French UFO archivist Patrick Gross with other Jalisco cases, including a 10 January 1979 press report of lights over Guadalajara and a January 1998 airline-pilot sighting.
The sceptical view
A large-area, short-duration bright light seen from two states fits a re-entering satellite or bolide; no official analysis was published.
