Original Message Indigenous accounts, however, were documented as early as 1528. Written in the native tongue of Nahuatl, the natives of the Aztec empire described eight omens that were believed to have occurred 10 years prior to the arrival of the Spanish from the Gulf of Mexico. The eight omens included:
Aztec empire on the eve of the Spanish Invasion

fire falling from the sky.
fire consuming the temple of Huitzilopochtli.
a lightning bolt destroying the straw temple of Xiuhtecuhtli.
the appearance of streaking fire across the oceans.
the “boiling,” and water flooding, of a lake nearby Tenochtitlan.
a woman weeping in the middle of the night for them to flee while they could.
a two headed man running through the streets.
Montezuma saw images of fighting men in a mirror on his bird's head.

Are we receiving Omens concerning the arrival of something or someone?
