Meteorologist Isidro Cano announced in a Facebook post that an orb made of “a very hard plastic or an alloy of various metals” showed up on the top of a tree just north of the city of Veracruz, Mexico, with witnesses saying they saw the orb “falling from the sky,” making noise but with no fire, and Cano warned people to “not touch or come near it,” adding “it may have radioactivity.”
It gets weirder. In a follow-up post, Cano said there was a “code” on the outside of the orb, and on Monday he updated his followers again to tell them the “artifact” had been removed and taken out of Mexico. His theory is that it’s space debris from the crash of a Chinese rocket.
