MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The Mexican Air Force has released footage of what

a UFO

expert said were 11 invisible unidentified flying objects picked up by an
infrared camera as they whizzed around a surveillance plane.
A long-time believer in flying saucers, journalist Jaime Maussan told a

news

conference on Tuesday the objects were real and seemed "intelligent" after

they

at one point changed direction and surrounded the plane chasing them.

"They were invisible to the eye but they were there, there is no doubt

about it.

They had mass, they had energy and they were moving about," he said, after
showing a 15-minute video he said the Defense Ministry gave him permission

to

publicize.

The ministry confirmed to Reuters it had provided the video, filmed by the

Air

Force on March 5 over the eastern coastal state of Campeche.

"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.

Mexico's most popular nightly news broadcast showed the video on Monday

night.

Interviewed by Mausson on another section of the video, the pilots said

they

grew nervous when the objects, still invisible, turned back during a chase

and

surrounded the plane.

"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

Maj.

Magdaleno Castanon.

Mexico has a long history of fanciful UFO sightings, most of which are

dismissed

by scientists as space debris, missiles, weather balloons, natural weather
phenomena or hoaxes.

Note that just because the pilots switched on IR cameras to get a better

look,

does not mean the objects were actually invisible.
As per the other poster's question, I don't see anything about where to

get

video. It should be good!
