Two lights alternating across the horizon

I was visiting family in Mexico with my wife and we were standing on the roof of a house looking at the stars. It was a beautiful clear night and you could see the full sky with no obstructions. We were in an area below the mountains so you could see for many many miles. We all noticed two dots of light appear on one horizon that were flying toward each other then back away in a zigzag formation that shot across the horizon in seconds. Keep in mind this was probably 50+ miles of visibility.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 165757
Occurred: 2021-12-06 20:30 Local
Reported: 2021-12-07 13:44 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 1

Location: Oaxaca City (Mexico), Oaxaca, Mexico
Location details: Over mountains which contain Oaxaca City to its north.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Landed

Light descended toward steep mountains then blinked out. Later, same one, or different, went horizontally and blinked out.

A few weeks ago, I reported sighting what was either one (1) object glowing with many lights forming a wide V-shape - or - perhaps as many as twenty (20) bright objects glowing while forming a wide V-shape, high over the city of Oaxaca, Mexico. Cannot imagine migratory birds glowing bright at a high altitude and then blinking out. That event inspired me to keep watching the night sky when it is reasonably clear. Last night was perfectly clear.

8:00 PM: All of the moon was fully visible in an opaque way with a quarter of it shining brightly.

8:15 PM: I was looking at the northern sky where three stars form a triangle, or, pyramid-shape (when one connects the dots);

* I noted what appeared to be a tiny star which appeared to be quite close to one of the two lower stars, but noticed it was moving slowly,
the way a small plane would;

* I considered it might be a satellite until it started going downward at a 60-degree angle, as though it were landing in the mountains;

* The extreme altitude of the object, combined with the expansive and steep and thus uninhabitable mountains it was over (which define the
northern limit of Oaxaca-City) surely could not be used for drug production/trafficking, so unlikely it was a police, govt, or private drone;

8:30 PM: In the same area over the mountains, I spotted a similar object (or the same object) at a high altitude, moving slowly. After about 20
seconds it instantly vanished; No trails, or tracking lights; No changing color; Only dull white light. Seemed to be very high up.
Rhetorical Questions: Do satellites shine and then blink out?

* I'm aware of what conventional aircraft look like as they approach the local airport;

* Venus was shining big and bright as usual;

* These objects seem to defy all the behavior of commercial craft, satellites, and drones.

* Not sure if I mentioned that about two weeks ago, I watched an object over the same mountains on the north side of Oaxaca-City that
moved slowly, stopped at went back the way it came, without swerving. It went back the way it came the way a car can simply stop and
be put into reverse without turning. A few moments later, a commercial aircraft w/ ice-trail, heading west, flew 3,000 ft. under object.

* Cheap, Samsung AO2s Phone cannot photograph, or make video of something so far away in the night sky.

A Jet Flying Very Low Toward Airport Turns Off All LIghts?

RE: Aerial objects that might blink out:

It is only fair to mention that one night about two weeks ago, a small aircraft (either military, or commercial) was heading in the direction of the airport
and almost over my apartment; About 2,000 meters before getting over my apartment, the vehicle turned off all it's lights. As it flew over, I could see
it as a shadow and hear the jet-engines roaring. It is fair to conclude, Mexico's version of an FAA may be quite lax if such pilot behavior is tolerated.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 165746
Occurred: 2021-12-06 20:00 Local
Reported: 2021-12-06 18:31 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 1

Location: Oaxaca City (Mexico), Oaxaca, Mexico
Location details: Night Sky above the north area of Oaxaca City, in a district quite close to the northern mountain range that defines the city.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Landed

Two bright objects that defied normal aircraft behavior.

A few weeks ago, I reported sighting either one (1) object glowing with many lights in the shape of a wide V, - or - many objects glowing as they traveled in a V-shape. That inspired me to continue watching the night sky, now that there have been 2 nights of totally clear sky.

An hour earlier, i noticed a very unusual moon. I could see the entire moon in an opaque way, despite only a quarter shining. The night is perfectly clear.

Around 8 pm, I noticed a very tiny dot of light traveling at what appeared to be a normal speed for small aircraft. However, there were no tracking lights. I watched the object for about one minute, as it drifted eastward, but then it instantly vanished. I kept watching where it would be if it had not blinked out, but never saw it again.

I can imagine a drone being lit for a period of time to help establish it's location and then having its lights turned off for stealth purposes, but for what purpose? Northern Oaxaca City is not a hotbed of crime, as far as I know.

That hooked me, so I continued watching that area of the sky, and perhaps ten minutes later, still looking at the northern sky, I saw a tiny light which had originally appeared next to a star.

I noticed the object was moving, but not at a normal angle for aircraft. The airport is south of here, not north ! Only a mountain range is north.

Satellite?

It was moving downward at a 40-45 degree angle - so it is hard to believe it was a satellite or plane.

A drone perhaps?

A helicopter however, would not be able to land in the steep mountains to the north of my area.

I am supposing the second object mentioned (which might have been the 1st object I saw) might have landed. It was headed toward the ground, but from a very high altitude.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 178537
Occurred: 2021-05-28 04:00 Local
Reported: 2023-10-04 19:52 Pacific
Duration: About 2 hours
No of observers: 1

Location: San Agustinillo, Oaxaca, Mexico
Location details: From the heal viewing the sea

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

A light appearing in the sea, splitting into few lights and going in and out of the water, no sound

Late in the night a white light appears on the sea, I was not sure at start of it is a fishing boat or not. My view was from up the cliff into the bay.
It got my attention by moving in a 8 shape route between 2 small islands at the sea again and again.

Later it stopped in one place and started to split the light into a 3 triangle light shape and a 4 Square light shape. The light also went into the water and out with no sound what so ever.

Just before the sunrise the light moved behind the cliff to the other side of the bay, I was hoping when the sun will rise that I'll be able to see more clearly what the light is. Few minutes later the light come back to the bay and quickly moved into the horizon, until I couldn't see it anymore, still being "floating" on the water.

I took a video only of the part where the light split, but I had to cut it to just few minutes so I'll be able to upload it here in the website and I took a video in the morning of the same part of the sea to have perspective of the view.
