the first thing i get told is:
1) it could've been planes from another state.
how do we know it's not planes from another state?
2) why didn't they get shot down? if a plane is not responding, dont they get shot down?
don't they??
3) why did the mexican air force stop chasing them?
----
how do i respond to these statements?

Was it really that dark? 5pm (17:00) in early March should be fairly light.

1:They were picked up on infra red cameras and radar, they didnt seem to be able to see them with the naked eye although they did look. First they were on radar, thats how they knew something was there.
But couldnt see them, so they turned on the infra red and thats how they got the film.
2:The pilots said that when they turned on infra red, the objects seemed to know they were being noticed and surrounded the plane. All 11 of them. The plane was a survailence plane, not armed so they couldnt shoot them down. They were in constant contact with the air traffic controlers during this time.
3:The pilots were scared. This wasnt normal...nor was it anything they were familiar with. They wernt chasing the objects anymore because the objects surrounded the plane and were chasing them instead...LOL I forget how it all ended though, would have to reread the story and statements.
ADDED:
Also I was looking around on the web, and I guess on Tuesday night on Coast to Coast AM, The first hour guest David Sereda of ufonasa gave an analysis of what he thought of the infar red images and said What was picked up on the infrared cameras in this incident was a heat signature from a craft which likely uses wave generators to convert their ship into light, he suggested. This type of propulsion allows the occupants to travel without mass and therefore able to move at incredible speeds. Now, that was taken from the site at
www.coasttocoastam.com...
But you cant access that nights show without paying cash to subscribe, can see the comment I posted of his there though LOL

2-The aircraft that recorded these was not a fighter plane. Mexico doesn't have a network of SAM defenses in its south... nor is it on high air defense alert like the US after 9-11. In peacetime, most nations don't fire on an unidentified aircraft until it is known to be hostile.
3-I believe the UFOs were chasing the Mexican plane, not the other wya around.
So far as other questions go..
ALL aircraft in the world are required to have a standard set of nightime navigational lights (red-Green-white)
These pilots have undoubtedly watched other aircraft at night before.
The UFOs manuevered in conjunction with the Mexican plane and surrounded it at one point. They were not passing airliners or crop dusters.
Based on the observed movement on the infrared camera (and by use of the radar) the range of these objects was clearly known by the pilot.
This crew has undoubtedly watched regular aircraft on infrared before.
This was shot in southern Mexico. Nicaraugua, Panama, and Costa Rica do not, so far as I know, have invisible, spherical aircraft.
A 'night flight' can still occur at dusk or twilight. That's only a semantic observation.
The speed at which these objects overtake the Mexican plane is atleast comparable (if not faster) than that of a fighter jet. Fighter jets are extremely loud... even at subsonic speeds. these objects were noiseless.

1-If some country has invisible, flying spheres that can surround jets at will... well... somehow they've managed to develop a technology tree all to themselves. Technology doesn't come from a void... if there were invisible pods flying around there would be invisible flying pod factories, invisible flying pod inventors, some college where the invisible flying pod inventor did his first experiments.... theories on how to build invisible flying pods...
2-This wasn't a fighter jet. Also... it's kinda dumb to shoot at someone when you don't know who they are and you're surrounded.
3.OK... so the mexican plane pulled away.. too... but for large parts of the video it is being chased/surrounded.
You can tell how fast the objcts were travelling by the facts that they pass the plane at some points in the video (and by comparison to the ground). Also,,, the plane's radar would be able to give a speed when it detected them for periods.
Hot air balloons cannot outrun airplanes, manuever around them, become invisible, or make sharp, angled turns.

1) that is your opinion. there's a lil' something called area 51 with technology we never imagined. they discover new elements and learn how to fly alien spacecrafts. they even have jets that fly faster than the speed of light probably... u.s. isn't the only country with something like this.
