The Flying Horse of Mexico was a flying creature allegedly photographed by a 24-year-old woman named Loyola Quintanilla Rosas. The story was reported on by several news sites, and authorities are currently looking into it.
Appearance[]
The dark object appeared to have two legs and was seen hovering into view out of nowhere as volcano Colima, 300-miles west of Mexico City, spewed out smoke. Captured on webcam after Colima erupted this week, the enigmatic “equine” vanished moments later.
Possible Explanations[]
There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:
- An undiscovered species (a Cryptid)
- Dirt on the camera
- A drone
- A hoax
Trivia[]
- The Mexican authorities stand by the drone theory. A spokesman from the country’s Civil Protection of the Ministry of Interior said:
- “It is most likely a drone of some sort. We are looking into it.”
