1. Coming back from a trip to Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico

To the ranch of one of my cousins where we had spent a weekend in the wilderness.

On the trip back we were in a caravan of three vehicles.

We had a flat. After changing the flat, and resuming the trip, we had a second flat.

We fixed that one and a short while later, we had a third flat.

We were out of spares, so someone had to drive ahead with the third flat (and the others) to get them repaired.

So there we were in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the fixed flats to come back.

While we were waiting there in total darkness, new moon darkness I might add, we saw some lights in the horizon.

The lights came toward us and hovered, bobbing and weaving.

We could not tell how far they were, but there were at least eight or nine of us watching these lights.

Green, fluorescent, lights.

After a while, watching these lights that seemed observe us as we were observing them, the suddenly started moving together in the same direction.

The gained speed, and suddenly, bolted out of sight, away from us.

And we were left there, in total darkness, waiting for the repaired tires to return.

An hour or so later, the fixed flats returned and we resumed our trip home.

Wondering about what we had just witnessed.

That's it. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
