Mexican Airforce to release UFO footage

i have just seen the video myself. i think its authentic as well. the lights seem to be actually up in the sky. and there is no way these lights may have been projected. these crafts are the type that ive had lingering in my mind all along. crafts with the cloaking device on the outer frame of the ufo making it invisible to us as we see them go by. just like that one jellyfish that has the dots on his skin making him blend in with its enviornments. thats why all we see is what it appears to be white dots moving.

but then again im wondering if their just our planes that are testing the new technology.

Cardu, that site is for night vision googles, thermal infrared works a bit differently. Here is a good site that explains it.

"The Basics
In order to understand night vision, it is important to understand something about light. The amount of energy in a light wave is related to its wavelength: Shorter wavelengths have higher energy. Of visible light, violet has the most energy, and red has the least. Just next to the visible light spectrum is the infrared spectrum.

Infrared light is a small part of the light spectrum.




Infrared light can be split into three categories:

Near-infrared (near-IR) - Closest to visible light, near-IR has wavelengths that range from 0.7 to 1.3 microns, or 700 billionths to 1,300 billionths of a meter.
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) - Mid-IR has wavelengths ranging from 1.3 to 3 microns. Both near-IR and mid-IR are used by a variety of electronic devices, including remote controls.
Thermal-infrared (thermal-IR) - Occupying the largest part of the infrared spectrum, thermal-IR has wavelengths ranging from 3 microns to over 30 microns.
The key difference between thermal-IR and the other two is that thermal-IR is emitted by an object instead of reflected off it. Infrared light is emitted by an object because of what is happening at the atomic level."

Truthcanhurt, if you post the link to the Spanish site i will translate it.

Thank you Muaddib

Filer�s Files update www.nationalufocenter.com...

It might be a good idea for us to write in our support to the major networks that have covered this event,thanking them for honest reporting on an often ignored phenomenon.I know I'm going to be writing a few short letters of support.Perhaps if they can see that the general public stands behind them on covering these events,it will spur them on into covering them more.

LMAO!!!And the COVER-UP begins!...Our Gov probably started leaning on them to shut the h*ll up.It never fails...

3rd EDIT: Woops I just saw the copyright info of ATS forums and just to be sure, the article is property of 2004 W Radio.

Hello all I'm new to the forum (but not to the site) and I wanted to give you the translation of the article. Oh and the video is longer than what you've seen, I'm gonna tape it this saturday (from a rerun of the tv show where it was shown in full length), unfortunately, I don't have a capture card for this Well here goes:

M�xico D.F., 12 of May, 2004.
-----------------------------------------
After a video of 16 unidentified flying objects was made available on Monday, the Secretary of National Defense, Ricardo Vega Garcia, revealed in an exclusive interview on W Radio that he prohibited his personnel to 'talk about UFO's or flying saucers, because it would then lead to doubts and jokes'.

He added that a copy of the video was available to the scientific community, if they wish to analyze it.

The conclusion of the journalist Jaime Maussan, who has been dedicated to the study of the subject for more than ten years, is that the objects filmed were in fact UFOs.

'That's Maussan's point of view, that's why the video was given to him, so he could get his own conclusions...But that's just his version', not of the DoD, said Vega in the news program Hoy por Hoy.

He added that the event is not considered a matter of national security.

The video, filmed with infrarred vision equipment by Mexican Airforce Pilots on March 5, shows a series of shiny objects that were flying on more than 3,500 meters (35 km) high, roughly accelerating and changing their course sporadically over the skies of the state of Campeche.

The recording was done while the crew of the plane Merlin C-26 was doing standard surveillance for the fight against drug trafficking.

The objects were not visible to the human eye and at one time they surrounded the plane at a distance of two miles, according to accounts of three members of the crew.

Vega said that after the event was reported, the video was analyzed on the DoD installations and they reached to the conclusion that there were two roads to follow: file it as a secret or turn it to somebody that studied this type of phenomena.

"I did not see the use of it staying recorded and stashed and the decision was taken that it should be given to people that have been working all their lives with this and
could make good use of this, because that's what was said to Jaime Maussan', said the head of the DoD in an interview with Carlos Loret de Mola.

He pointed out that his first impression after seeing the video was that they were planes smuggling drugs, 'but when I started to discuss with the crew about what those lights might be up to, I said, it can't be that many planes'.

There you go, sorry for any typos or bad spelling :p

Now the Associated Press is running an article postulating that these were gas balls! Needless to say what my opinion is! Yet, even in the same article:

In the videotape, first aired publicly on national television Monday night, the objects appear to accelerate rapidly and change course suddenly. At least one crew member testified that the objects surrounded the air force jet when they were at least two miles away.

What kind of gas balls do that?


Expert says Mexico UFOs may have been gas

Totally agree WOS...Gas balls,ball lightning,weather balloons,swamp gas,venus,blah-blah-blah...When will these guys quit playing everyone for idiots?

I even remember in the tape that the main guy was saying to the pilots "Gentlemen, this is your lucky day..." then later he said "...We are not alone." I mean, in their hearts they knew what they saw and as Maussan said while analyzing the tape of the "experts" saying it was balloons or balls of whatever, that he's never seen one that chases and keeps up with fighter jets and fly in organized formations.

We are dealing with something that is hot or warm in a very cold atmosphere and does not have a predictable movement pattern other than a consistant formation. That would rule out Gas Balls, Ball Lightning, and weather balloons. It could not be space debris since they were not sinking through the atmosphere. That would only leave two possiblities. Advanced Human aircraft or ETI aircraft. Either one I don't think many gov'ts would be willing to admit to even though they should.

it was ****in aliens, live with it, get over it

Some coverup?

Cover Up

Okay so we have weather balloons and now gas. All we need now is for someone to say the lights were due to Venus and we'll be three for three.
*exasperated sigh*

::::::quote from movie 'Men in Black' ;
".....and the flash of light you saw in the sky wasn't a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus..." :::::::

[Edited on 14-5-2004 by mrq]

Now it is ball lightning!!

Yahoo

According to the "experts" anyhow!

Well, I guess now we know that Men In Black are alive and well...At least they haven't flashed us with those pen/flashy things...Or have they?

These were UABOs.

UNIDENTIFIED Air Bourne Objects.

Despite the human desire to want conclusive knowledge there is no evidence in the video or otherwise to determine what the UABOs are.

While natural events and terestrial air craft are the most logical (founded on known and documented events) there is not definitive facts or evidence.

It could just have well been a rip in space revealing an alternate dimension as it could be giant space chickens.

Anyone who claims this is evidence of anything aside from 6 spheres with radar and IR signatures is not seeking truth, they are making things fit what they want to believe.

The gretest disinformation is those that seek to prove their truth rather than just truth.
