Mexico pilots release 'UFO film'
Footage released by the Mexican air force is further proof of the
existence of UFOs, an investigator has said. The video, filmed by
pilots using an infrared camera, shows 11 bright objects moving
rapidly in the sky. "We are not alone! This is so weird," one of
the pilots can be heard saying after the radar picked up the
objects. The Mexican defence ministry confirmed the videotape had
been filmed by members of the air force, but did not comment on its
content. Mexican UFO investigator Jaime Maussan said that, while
there were hundreds of UFO videos, it was the first time one "had
the backing of the armed forces". "The armed forces don't
perpetuate frauds," he added after showing the footage at a news
conference on Tuesday. The videotape was filmed by air force
members in March as they conducted a routine anti-drug trafficking
surveillance flight over the coastal region of Campeche. The
objects were reported to be invisible
to the eye - the pilots turned on the infrared camera to track them
after three of them were picked up by the radar.
In a taped interview, the plane's radar operator Lt German Marin
said he had felt "a little afraid because we were facing something
that had never happened before". Interviewed by Jaime Maussan, the
captain of the aircraft, Maj Magdaleno Castanon, said they had
chased the lights. "I believe they could feel we were pursuing
them," he said. "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." There have been many reported UFO
sightings in Mexico, most of which have been dismissed by
scientists.
