Standing
Unidentified
On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.
Cluster of blinking red lights filmed over a railroad yard.
What was claimed
A railroad worker’s post described a cluster of blinking red lights and orbs over the yard.
What is on the record
This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.
A public post attributed to a railroad worker in San Luis Potosí described a cluster of blinking red lights — some called orbs — over the tracks at night. The lights were said to hold, blink, and not behave like a consist or a tower.
Yard lamps and distant aircraft are ordinary here. The report is kept because it is a named kind of work and a specific place. Unverified. The plate follows the red cluster as written.
Could this have been ours?
The known sky, that night.
The station, the trains, and the rest of the known sky were already there. Hold the claim next to them.

International Space Station
A bright, steady moving star. A few minutes to cross. No strobe. Occupied since 2000. NASA publishes the pass times. Not unidentified.

Starlink trains
A line of equally spaced lights after a launch. The most common string of orbs in current reports. A satellite deployment, not a formation of craft.
Always
Venus and the bright planets
A fixed brilliant point. Does not streak. Does not hover over a street then leave. Often the first misread light in a rural report.
Always
Aircraft, balloons, meteors
Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.
