Weather May Explain Mexico UFO Stir
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.

2. Never Knew Radar could pick up "Ball Lightning".

Last week on Olbermann, Keith quoted the State dept. claiming it was a new style of stealth bomber. He laughed real hard since stealh is suppose to be radar elusive.

3. Yea, whatever
Two distinct clusters of "ball lightning" MOVING in an intelligent manner along with the aircraft in sync with each other and INVISIBLE to the naked eye. These cover-up artists need to try harder. The first rule of a cover-up is that it needs to be at least a tiny bit plausible.
