Sorry to dissapoint you guys but Mexican Pilot Video is debunked already.

i cant figure out why nobody wants to pony up and make this knowledge as common as media-friendly "are ufos real".
VOICE A: I'll tell you right away.
VOICE B: A position?
VOICE C: A position. 7 - 4.
VOICE A: At 12 of our position, I still have it there.
VOICE D: A traffic.
VOICE E: Can you get me the headquarters officer, Captain Danzon to let him know that we are reading a target.
VOICE A: Point Carmen 18 - 4.
VOICE B: It's marking 2-106 of speed and has a heading of 301.
VOICE C: Its correct, it's now at our 7 o'clock position at 10.5 miles distance.
VOICE C: It's course is, 2- 8- 3 with a speed of 3-3-4.
VOICE D: I don't have it on the screen but the Radar is still marking the distance at 37 miles.
VOICE B: At 7 at the same altitude.
With regard to the flickering/shape comment, this seems obvious. Captain Franz's maps indicate that the oil wells were roughly 100 miles distant. At this distance, a flame 25 feet across would only subtend an angle of about 10 seconds of arc across (0.003 degrees). Add to this that the camera had to look through 100 miles of atmosphere and it seems unlikely that the FLIR could resolve such a target. Close examination of the video shows that there does appear to be a change in intensity on several of the targets indicating a "flickering" one might expect from a fire. This argument appears to be without merit.
Outrageous?
Maybe..... maybe not.
I should think that the FLIR operator would be aware of the oil
fires having flown around the area many times before (I assume
this wasn't his first experience operating the flir in that
area.)
If one looks at the URL:
www.alcione.org...
one sees superimposed upon a map a frame of the video showing
the lights I have caller "the twins" and the azimuth -133.7.
Also shown, but not mentioned by Fran, is the elevation, EL =
3, which implies a sighting line tilted upward.
Looking at the whole video one sees that the "twins" and
other lights are above at least the lower cloud level.
However, the most convincing visual evidence that the objects
are not at ground level appears in the video around 17:06:43-45
at which time the lights/object emerge from a cloud and, behind
them is a dark area (cloud shaded from the sun). After they, one
after another, pass the dark cloud they also pass in front of a
bright cloud (lit by the sun).
This proves that they were at cloud level and not on the ground.

Mike, not only the question about the clouds is unanswered: NO ONE so far provided EVIDENCES that those were ground targets, despite it should be very easy to do: the first radar target IS still unexplained because it had a rather large radar cross-section and was traveling at high speed, so what?
Just a reminder: before this attempt of debunking, they tried to dismiss these ufos as:
Meteors______
Ball Lightning__
Gas__________
Balloons______
So what's next?

this photo was the first to pop into my mind when this thread started
really cool and natural I thought when I first saw it.

"I had a camera crew filming the installation when they spotted a saucer. They filmed it as it flew overhead, then hovered, extended three legs as landing gear, and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed! It was a classic saucer, shiny silver and smooth, about 30 feet across. It was pretty clear it was an alien craft."
...over the next fifty years, the base would be visited again and again by UFOs, including in 1952, 1954, 1958, 1965, 1967, 1978, 1995, 1998 and more. Several of these sightings were made by extremely reputable witnesses, including Air Force base officers and on one occasion, astronaut Gordon Cooper. In 1958, Cooper was at the base when a UFO landed on the dry lakebed. Base personnel filmed the incident, and Cooper developed and viewed the film. As he says, “Good close-up shots. Nothing like I had ever seen…double inverted saucer shape. It didn’t have any wings on it or anything…There was no doubt in my mind that it was made someplace other than Earth.”

Ok the show itself hasn't screened here yet (But Im sure it
eventually will) so I cant comment on that but just looking
at those promo images I can find some big problems:
The Image with the caption
"A UFO encountered by a Russian MIG during military
maneuvers."
clearly shows an American McDonald Douglas F-15A or
C Eagle in flight not a MiG (unless the F-15 *was* the
UFO:-)
The pic with
"This image depicts an elusive, cylinder-shaped object
which was chased for several minutes by a Russian MIG"
Shows the rear top section of a US made ejection seat,
the ACESII which can be found in the F-16, F-16 and A-10
(and a few other aircraft which wouldn't give that
type of view)
One of the seat's unique environmental sensor pitot
tubes is prominent in the photo. The footage is
from no MiG

When Stan Friedman visited the S.F. Bay Area a few years back,
Reuben Uriate, Northern California MUFON director, demonstrated
for us that many portions of your referenced "documentary" were
flagrantly hoaxed.
This program was shown on the TNT network and was supposed to
show, among other things, films of Russian jet interceptors
encounters with UFOs.
What they _really_ did was take a previous TNT documentary on
_American_ fighter planes and then used computer graphics to
insert the supposed-UFOs.
He showed the clips from the original documentary followed
immediately by the "UFO" clips. No doubt about it. The UFOs were
computer generated and they hoped the average viewer wouldn't
know a Russian MIG from a U.S. fighter.
