Mexican Air Force pilots film unidentified objects

A videotape made widely available to the news media on Tuesday shows the bright objects, some sharp points of light and others like large headlights, moving rapidly in what appears to be a late-evening sky.

The lights were filmed on March 5 by pilots using infrared equipment. They appeared to be flying at an altitude of about 3,500 meters (11,480 feet), and allegedly surrounded the Air Force jet as it conducted routine anti-drug trafficking vigilance in Campeche. Only three of the objects showed up on the plane's radar.

There are quite a few witnesses to this one, as well as being filmed and captured on radar by a military aircraft. Theories?

Obviously a few stray left overs from George Bush Senior's "thousands points of light", seeking political asylum, no doubt.

Best quote from the article: "This is historic news," Maussan told reporters. "Hundreds of videos (of UFOs) exist, but none had the backing of the armed forces of any country. ... The armed forces don't perpetuate frauds."

Yup, you heard it here, "the armed forces don't perpetuate frauds."
