REPORT YOUR SIGHTING OR ABDUCTION AT WWW.MUFON.COM Witness states, " I was on vacation at the Sandos Playacar hotel. I arrived very early to get a good view of the sunrise over the sea and positioned myself right on the beach. I had slept well and was alone on the beach, since it was so early and the sun hadn't yet risen. It was 7:00 a.m. local time. I felt very relaxed and calm throughout the entire UFO sighting, both before and after. There were only two or three other people on the whole beach, all quite far from where I was. I'm 67 years old and don't have the reflexes of younger people to immediately turn on my cell phone, so I missed the beginning of the sighting. Besides, it was completely unexpected. The UFO emerged from the water near the Playa del Carmen pier, where the ferries depart for Cozumel, without making a single ripple, not even a drop, moving vertically at tremendous speed, leaving a trail the same color as in the image. From the pier, it took a straight, level flight, flying in a fast, straight line, heading southwest towards my location at high speed. Upon reaching this point on the beach, it slowed down and, strangely, had the "kindness" to stop directly above me, giving me time to take out my phone and first snap a picture. When I saw it was holding its position, I filmed a video for almost two minutes. Then, suddenly, it shot straight out to sea and, in a fraction of a second, reached Cozumel Island, 9 nautical miles offshore. Before I could focus my phone, it zigzagged again to the northeast and then shot upwards, disappearing and leaving a beautiful trail of light the same green color seen in the images. Again, this last maneuver lasted only fractions of a second. Then it vanished and was never seen again. My family says it's a drone, but the maneuvers it performed completely disregard inertia, as it changed direction at almost 90-degree angles. I regret not being able to film those maneuvers, but it was impossible to focus my phone, an old Samsung Galaxy 10+ model. Coordinates: 20.6021692,-87.1124795."
