An unidentified aircraft flew over Concordia, Sinaloa, on February 1, 2026, during the 59-minute reporting window from 5:45:34 PM to 6:45:26 PM UTC, as Mexican Army and Special Forces conducted a special operation to locate kidnapped miners in the area, according to a post by @idn__03 on X. Sinaloa Governor Rocha Moya announced the operation this Sunday morning. The post from @idn__03, sourced from https://x.com/idn__03/status/2018014965123486031, specified the aircraft sighting over Concordia amid the ongoing military effort to find the miners kidnapped in the location. Governor Rocha Moya's announcement earlier in the day initiated the special operation by the Mexican Army and Special Forces. This development follows earlier reports of a Mayiza cartel dronero operating a DJI FlyCart 30 drone with multiple munitions in Sinaloa between 2:45 PM and 5:45 PM UTC, based on video footage from @mexicannarcos, though no direct connection to the Concordia aircraft has been confirmed by officials. No official statements from Mexican authorities addressed the unidentified aircraft during the reporting window.
