Footage released by the Mexican air force is further proof of the existence of UFOs, an investigator has said.
The video, filmed by pilots using an infrared camera, shows 11 bright objects moving rapidly in the sky.

"We are not alone! This is so weird," one of the pilots can be heard saying after the radar picked up the objects.

The Mexican defence ministry confirmed the videotape had been filmed by members of the air force, but did not comment on its content.

Mexican UFO investigator Jaime Maussan said that, while there hundreds of UFO videos, it was the first time one "had the backing of the armed forces".

"The armed forces don't perpetuate frauds," he added after showing the footage at a news conference on Tuesday.

The videotape was filmed by air force members in March as they conducted a routine anti-drug trafficking surveillance flight over the coastal region of Campeche.

The objects were reported to be invisible to the eye - the pilots turned on the infrared camera to track them after three of them were picked up by the radar.

In a taped interview, the plane's radar operator Lt German Marin said he had felt "a little afraid because we were facing something that had never happened before".

Interviewed by Jaime Maussan, the captain of the aircraft, Maj Magdaleno Castanon, said they had chased the lights.

"I believe they could feel we were pursuing them," he said.

"There was a moment when... the screens showed they were behind us, to the left and in front of us. It was at that point that I felt a bit tense."

There have been many reported UFO sightings in Mexico, most of which have been dismissed by scientists.

A glaring spelling/syntax error in an official report. Nice.

It is a unlikely probability that we are the only intelligent beings in all of outerspace.The idea or reality that intelligent,life some advanced and some not exist in a universe other than our own seems to me to be most assure.It would be more vain (for mankind) to say it is not possible.If they are gathering any info on us then they understand that it would be a bad idea to make contact with the human race.The structural leaders of the world would be like the ones on Stargate and be fighting over who gets the technology or who didnt and why. It would be better in the long run to let us discover the techs on our own or through cryptic clues etc.However if the earth was facing doom i would hope that we could find some sort of assistance one way or another.
