I was incredulous when I first heard about this. I simply could NOT believe it.

I'm still highly skeptical that Mexico actually has an air force...

Isn't it interesting that Iran has had a lot of UFO sightings lately.

Hmmmm.

Re: Mexican Air Force Films UFOs

I was very excited about this, but I think it boils down to same ol' same ol'.

Pilot sees unidentified craft, captures movie of it, and the government won't confirm or deny anything. Is that an accurate description of this event? If so, hasn't that scenario played out several times before?

Is this instance made unique or special by the quality of nature of the video?

Oh man, I think I woke my kid up laughing so hard......


Seriously though, infrared camera captures 11 objects surrounding the plane? Anti-drug vigilance or probando la mota (testing the weed).

I don't know. It's not usually military (well, Mexican Air Force) pilots with infrared and simultaneous radar tracking from the ground. Doesn't exactly fit the profile of a "UFO" of American origin either, since there were 11 of them flying slow at 11,500.

Re: Mexican Air Force Films UFOs

hehehehe@the jimmy kimmel joke

Actually, as I understood the story, the pilots gave chase, and when they gave up chsing, the lights vanished....

I think the vid was taken with FLIR, so I'm assuming they were up in F-5 jets.


not just cropdusters

Never even thought about a mex. air force before....

trippy...
