The Mexican Air Force Infrared UFOs
In one of the only cases of its kind, a government chose to publish its own UFO footage. A Mexican Air Force surveillance plane hunting drug traffickers recorded eleven objects on infrared that the crew could not see with their own eyes, and the Defense Secretariat released the tape to the public within weeks.
What did witnesses see at Over southern Campeche?
Eleven objects visible only on the infrared sensor, not to the naked eye, pacing and appearing to surround a Mexican Air Force surveillance aircraft.

What is the official explanation?
Mexico's defense secretariat authorized release of the tapes in 2004, an unusually open act. The leading skeptical reading is that the infrared sources were burning gas flares on the Cantarell oil platforms tens of kilometers away.
What did the witnesses think it was?
The crew believed the objects were intelligently controlled and deliberately surrounding their aircraft.
Is the Mexican Air Force Infrared UFOs real? The two-pass assessment
The oil-flare hypothesis shows a real method and is the strongest prosaic reading, but it is disputed, so it is logged as a strong disputed counter-claim rather than a closed verdict.
