A videotape aired Monday on national television showed a series of brilliant objects flying at more than 11,480 feet over southern Campeche state. The tape was filmed March 5 by air force pilots using a video camera equipped with an infrared lens. The objects appear to accelerate rapidly and change course suddenly. At least one crew member testified in a videotaped interview that the objects encircled the military jet at a distance of at least two miles. The pilots spotted the objects while conducting a routine drug-surveillance mission. Only three of the objects showed up on the plane's radar. Infrared equipment can only detect heat emanating from objects. It is unable to provide an image of the objects' exact forms. Defense Secretary Gen. Ricardo Vega Garcia gave the videotape to UFO specialist Jaime Maussan, who has spent 10 years studying unidentified flying objects. Maussan claimed Tuesday the videotape was evidence that flying saucers exist. The video was especially significant since it was provided by the military, he said. "This is historic news," Maussan said. "Hundreds of videos (of UFOs) exist, but none had the backing of the armed forces of any country. ... The armed forces don't perpetuate frauds." But Vega denied Wednesday that the military had made any conclusions about where the lights came from or whether they were UFOs. "This is Maussan's point of view, for that reason he was given (the video) so that he could draw his own conclusions," Vega told W Radio. "But that is his version." Vega said he decided to release the videotape to the scientific community for study after determining it did not pose a threat to national security. Vega also insisted that the military had not released the tape to distract the nation from other issues, such as a political corruption scandal, as some news commentators suggested. Vega said he initially believed the objects were drug trafficking planes, "but when I began to see that they had those lights ... I realized they couldn't be such aircraft." The defense chief said he had warned those under his command to refrain from talking about "flying saucers" and UFOs when discussing the video "because that just provokes doubts and jokes."
anoyone remember the video footage of the UFO's over Mexico City caught by a couple of different camcorders?? i thought those videos were a bit more impressive than this...but this is interesting, nonetheless.
This is pretty cool stuff...Of course they are UFO's...Of course there is intelligent life outside of our world... I remember the video from NASA a couple of years back where the UFO does a 45 degree angle when it was lightning
I'm not sure which I'm more dubious of; the fact that the guy claims to have seen UFO's, or the fact that Mexico has an Air Force.
Seriously, I see wings flapping. If that's intelligent life, and they're here from another planet/solar system....WHY ARE THEY RIDING FREAKING BIRDS!?!
That is what I thought, I never knew they had one, what planes do they have? A couple of WWI bi-planes?
It looks interesting, but it sounds like a Spanish 101 lesson; start with the basics. I also love how it's followed up with Bush...word I hear is that, when asked, Bush said these UFOs were 'evil'.
Well we KNOW they were UFO's (Unidentified Flying Objects). They can't ID them. They were flying, and they were objects. Their ORIGIN however is not known. I've seen this stuff a hundred times. Trust me, you don't want to know what was inside those things.
Close. They have a couple of obsolete, Vietnam-era F-5E Tiger II fighters like our aggressor squadrons still fly today and that's about it. Not like they could afford real fighter planes.

if you've seen the videos, you will notice that it looks like several lights or several ships. its not, its one giant ship except they've mastered invisibility technology but can't hide their thrusters. interesting though, that this is the first acknowledgement from a military that they have seen UFO's
