Ufos In Mexico
 MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -- A cluster of mysterious objects that surrounded a Mexican Air Force plane, alarming the pilots and sparking a UFO scare, could be a weather phenomenon known as ball lightning, a scientist said on Friday. The pilots grew nervous during a routine drugs surveillance flight in March when their radar detected strange objects flying nearby and an infrared camera showed 11 blobs of light, invisible to the eye, hovering or darting about their plane. Mexico's Air Force this week released footage from the infrared camera that was shown widely on television. As Mexican and international media published photographs of the objects, UFO Web sites saw the case as possible evidence of a new sighting of some form of extraterrestrial life. But nuclear science researcher Julio Herrera said the blobs of light may have been nothing more than ball lightning -- glowing spheres that are little understood but often sighted near the ground during thunderstorms. "Just as you have lightning between clouds and ground, you can also have it within the clouds and sometimes ball lightning can develop. I feel this is one of these rare events," said Herrera, based at Mexico's National Autonomous University.UFO follower Jaime Maussan said on Tuesday the objects seemed "intelligent" after they turned around to surround the plane chasing them -- but Herrera said electrical discharges in ball lightning could have been attracted to the "It's a very rare atmospheric phenomenon and it would be very interesting to be able to analyze all the information these pilots obtained," he told Reuters. plane as a conductor. |

If we are intelligent enough to know Mexico is a wonderful place to vacation. Of course a ET that has mastered space and time travel needs smoewere to vacation too. Mexico a good choice. Also I think I spoted a ET on the beach last time I was there he was hanging out in a bottle of Tequlia ( or maybe that was a worm)

That's exactly the way it looks like when it was coming in for a landing over us at night. Just looked it up. Sept 21nd landed after 6am EST... 5 am-ish over Mexico. So...the other site said the meteor was on the 22nd.. but not much info about it. Last edited by Seakony; 09-28-2006 at 06:13 PM.. |

 "The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus."
