I am trying to picture the pilots dangling a carrot in front of the plane to get it to fly faster.

If the UFOs dont run OSX they dont matter. I dont care if they have a 1 terahertz Intel chip and half terahertz graphics card.

You expect a mexican to be so intellectually stimulated by something he was seeing that he would work past his scheduled hours?

what obvious sarcasm? the only thing obvious there was you using a sterotype to make fun of and degrade a particular group of people.

if you dont want to have people misinterpret what you write dont leave it open for misinterpretation.

Do the planes have button tuck purple velvet upholstery and the official insignia airbrushed on the side?

Do they bounce like a lowrider while taxiing to the runway for take off?

All joking aside, it's been brought to my attention that there are some Mexican members here, and they may well not like their country being bashed for sport, even if it is meant in good fun. Return to the topic, that's the UFO video, in case you forgot.

And that fighter in the picture is a Northrop F-5 Tiger, made in the USA. It's also known as the T-38 Talon, and American pilots have been learning to become fighter pilots in them since 1956. It's still considered a formidable aircraft in air combat roles.

Well... afaik it didn't happen yet that *any* UFO has been *shown* to be of extraterrestrial origin so i gather that will be the case here too. There's tons of little understood atmospheric effects, visual effects and what more. If and only if all these can be ruled out, this incident might end up on the little list of things that *seem* to have no other explanation that something extraterrestrial. And even then we will not be the wiser.

UFO's are in the physical sense mostly really only UP's: "Unidentified Phenomena's" Whether they are "flying" and if they are "object's" is disputable.

Moreover: It's like the dutch are always lovingly joke at the expense of their southerly neighbors, how they speak funny and how they are weirdly involved with french fries, while in reality they consistently beat the dutch in language games and the dutch are way bigger consumers of french fries (though the belgian variant of said fries is usually way better then the dutch).

This reversal of the truth obviously doesn't work here, so i fail to see the 'sport'. It is frightening that posters don't seem to see that a) having such a big airforce comes with a responsibility [implying several other things] and b) in the case of such force suddenly being used against them, would give the mexican's a significant advantage over the US.

Apo ta pragmata, ne?

Don't bother to reply, because i won't...

Pretty interesting video, but more likely than not, they are of human origin. There was nothing in the video to indicate other world aircraft. IMHO

Mexico has an active volcano. Volcanos are known to give off H30 (3 hydrogen atoms, 1 Oxygen atom). In theory H30 could be used as a fuel for a propulsion system in some sort of UFO. Splitting the 3 hrydogen atoms from the one oxygen atom would produce a huge amount of power, kind of like a H bomb. If alliens had a way to regulate the reaction, then they could use H30 to power their aircraft. So they might be making a pit stop over Mexico to refuel before they continue across the universe.

I did a little research project about fuel cells and the other power sources that hydrogen can provide so that's how I found out about H30.

FYI: Mexico has cameras on it's volcano 24/7 to watch for anything like UFO's and to help warn of possible eruptions.

Okay, but if the plane is in a base, shouldn't the base be camouflaged, not the plane? And, if the plane's crashed, wouldn't the fire and smoke give it away anyway?

Oh, and thanks for the link, Think Insane. I've been looking for that story for a while now. Good stuff.

in any case I dont think it matters anyway, when planes are in the air you use radars to spot them not your sight.
