Video creates UFO stir

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The Mexican Air Force has released footage of what a UFO expert says are 11 invisible unidentified flying objects picked up by an infrared camera as they whizzed around a surveillance plane.

"We are not alone! This is so weird," one of the pilots can be heard yelling, after the plane's crew switched on an infrared camera to track the objects, first picked up by radar.

The film, recorded by a plane looking for drugs trafficking near the Gulf of Mexico, shows 11 objects as blobs of light that hover in formation or dart about, sometimes disappearing into cloud.

"There was a moment when ... the screens showed they were behind us, to the left and in front of us. It was at that point that I felt a bit tense," said Major Magdaleno Castanon.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1084326182029_16/?hub=SciTech

excerpt:

Mexico's Defence Department is confirming that images of 11 unidentified flying objects were captured by Mexican air force pilots.

But a Canadian space observer says that while the objects are unidentified, one cannot go much further than that.

5. Our local Fox news jerks laughed at the story
Highly ionized air will make things seem invisible.

Still the story is not specific enough,

6. So Shrub did play an important role in the nation's defense in 1972 when
he kept the Mexican Air Force from crossing the Rio Grande and taking out the Alamo. Who knew?
