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."

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:

México 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
