• When: February 22nd, 1997
  
• Where: Mazatlan, Mexico
• What: Saucer-shaped craft crashes into mountains, leaves trail of smoke
  

A really amazing report of a saucer crashing in Mexico in 1997, the same year a saucer was seen flying over Mexico City, the  same year of the Phoenix lights, and! the same year of the White Sands, New Mexico crash, has just been submitted to MUFON (case 80905). The report is in Spanish, but has been roughly translated below. Fortunately the witness drew a very detailed picture to go with their testimony:

I was working in a brickyard outdoors ... I was starting to beat mud to make the bricks were like 3 or 4 in the morning when a co-worker told me "Look Jose" .... heading for the hillside And I watch a trail of light passing over the hill illuminating it as if it were daylight and what actually shone was the golden smoke of gold that left in its path and when it crashed it made a dry solid metallic sound like a hammer Giant and a giant nail to hit ... after that sound look a flash as giant camera ... everything happened in about 10 seconds ... at a distance of more or less 7km from where I was working and happened The 22 of February of 1997 ... I to see something like this with my own eyes as I am amazed that this mountain has many stories and therefore I did not know anything of paranormal things or UFOs and therefore I keep the idea that that That step was part of the legend of the mountain ... after I finished my work and I went to the town to rest and take a ciesta ... the days passed and never heard 'nothing passed the years and the technology reached us and when we checked The place by google earth I could not believe it was or is a starred UFO and the next year turns 20 years without being found even being the airport of mazatlan 18km from the site of the alien crash

As mentioned, this similar to well-documented ones from the same year, like the Phoenix Lights and the UFO crash in New Mexico (see screenshots and video below). While this event in particular has been debunked as an experimental craft of the US Air Force and a weather balloon, it's never truly been explained:

There was also a sighting of a flying saucer wobbling over Mexico City, versus crashing, earlier in the year. This sighting was much closer by:

What do you think of this report of a 1997 UFO crash over Mazatlan, Mexico? Is it similar to other UFO sightings and crashes reported this same year, or even in the past? Believe it or not, dozens of extra-terrestrial craft crash sites are purported to exist.
