A film has been released by the Mexican military which shows UFO filmed from aircraft infra-red cameras which were otherwise invisible. Here's the story with a picture, but I've seen no footage as yet.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040511/80/etbal.html

Anyone have any more info or ideas on this?

I'm doing some looking myself.
 
I'm looking for the video but even though the story is all over the news I can't find the video itself anywhere! :D

Maybe the Men in Black have got to it. ;)
 
I guess the Men in Black are at it again as the video doesn't work for me. Anyone else have any luck with it? And what do you think, if so?

Ahahah! :D Ed Wood would be proud. ;)

[/B]NASA actually has a group called the M.I.B. It stands for Mishap Investigation Board.

Although they're not so much "Moulder and Skulley" as they are typical govt' bureaucrats when you meet them in person. [/B]

Interesting -- and a crashed saucer would qualify as a "mishap" of course. ;)
 
Mozilla didn't like their page, had to use IE.

I didn't see the "darting" in and out of the clouds that the yahoo article described. Nor did they seem to be "moving about". All the lights stayed the same distance apart and traveled at a constant rate.

It's hard to judge any distance on the video but it looked to me like a large six-engine plane with lights at the wingtips flying paralell to them at about the same speed.
 
Maybe the video cut out on me, as it seemed to end abruptly. I'm hoping there was something more, because what I saw was really unimpressive.

Special effects have spoiled me, I expect so much more now. ;(
 
I saw it on Sky News. The second film looks very dodgy, very reminiscent of reflections from the window of the plane.

The video doesn't work for me either :(

EDIT:

Here's another link to the video, it worked for me.

UFO's over Mexico?

Seems not be a reflexion on the plane window, since the "UFO's" are seen emerging from behind the clouds in one part of the shot
 
The video here worked for me with explorer. I saw a much better/longer clip at a friends house but I'm not sure where they got it. The lights (11 at one point) weren't doing much but I couldn't think of a good mundane explanation for what I saw, assuming the video was real.

As the story goes whatever it was wasn't visible, they only picked it up with radar and IR and it seemed to sort of react to them.

I don't speak spanish, but the video I saw was a spanish TV segment, they showed a picture of the plane, then pointed out something on the bottom of the plane, encased in a tinted dome, I think it was the infrared camera, so reflections off the windows might not be a possibility.

Isn't infrared at a lower energy than visible light? And thus visible light would travel better through air? Or is that totally wrong? If it's not wrong, those heat sources wouldn't be from lights or anything that would produce visible light, but they could be engines or exhaust from a plane or something else.

Or you know, maybe it's beings from other planets who want to explore the uncharted regions of the human anus.

I'd love to see that video, I guess it is not in the internet :(

Technical question: Infra-red cameras are supposed to capture the object's heat, that is, wave lenghts that are outside the "visible" part of the spectrum, right?. So, is it possible that a cloud blocks a radiation of this sort?

The video I saw was the one MattO linked to further up. I needed to us Internet Explorer though, it wouldn't work in Opera.

Good point, I realised I don't even know what time of day it was.
