Maccabee analyzes 2004 Mexican flight radar & flir images

摘要

During a Mexican Department of Defense (DOD) surveillance flight over the Yucatan peninsula on March 5, 2004, the flight crew encountered a strange radar target and subsequently recorded on videotape what appeared to be a small fleet of unidentified infra-red (ir) radiation sources traveling along with the plane. The crew and passengers believed that at one time the plane was surrounded by unknown objects detected by radar and by a forward looking ir (flir) imaging system. They could visually see none of these objects, yet they were clearly evident on the flir viewing screen and appeared to be only a few miles away. According to the DOD, an investigation of the event was carried out by the Mexican Air Force and no solution was found. Then, about a month and a half after the sighting, the DOD offered the videotape which had been made during the sighting by the flir viewing system to news reporter Jaime Maussan.
