A photograph taken of a craft in the sky over FC Juarez’s soccer stadium shows a flying saucer, says Mexico’s top UFO expert.
The image, shared by the soccer team on Twitter, was taken by a fan who had been at a match at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez stadium.
FC Juarez tagged the country’s most famous UFOlogist Jaime Maussan in the initial tweet, asking for help.
“HELP, @jaimemaussan1!” the club wrote. “A fan sent us this photograph that he took during the game vs. @Xolos, where supposedly a #OVNI can be seen. Is it not?”
Maussan responded, but not before using artificial intelligence software to enhance the original image to better see what the UFO actually looked like.
“Hello @fcjuarezoficial; I share that the case was analyzed with AI equipment, and everything indicates that we are facing an unidentified anomalous phenomenon ‘UAP’, Kyiv scientists call these ships ‘Phantom’ for being dark objects,” he tweeted back with a clearer image and a link to the study.
(OVNI, or objeto volador no identificado, is Spanish for UFO. UAP stands for unidentified aerial phenomena, a term that’s recently started to be used in place of UFOs by governments like the United States.)

Maussan also wrote in a follow-up tweet, “Given all of the above, I think it is a SHIP of non-human origin.”
The study he referred to first made the news back in September of 2022.
The report by the Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine detailed two classifications of UFOs that have been spotted by two meteor stations located in Kyiv and Vinarivka village.
In the report, Ukrainian astronomers reported that they had observed dozens of UFOs “that cannot scientifically be identified as known natural phenomena.”
The astronomers broke the UFOs they observed into two categories: “Phantoms” or a UFO that “is a completely black body that does not emit and absorbs all the radiation falling on it,” and “Cosmics,” which they defined as “luminous objects, brighter than the background of the sky.”
Was the UFO spotted over Juarez the same type of “Phantom” as has been seen over Ukraine? No one knows.
