i wonder if its just some stealth aircraft the US or someone was testing out by messin with the mexicans
The Mexican Air Force... There seems to be a one line joke ring to that, no?
Yea, I did a research paper on UFO's. This is typical. It's happened hundreds of times, in several different countries since the adoption of science over religion. Once we disreguarded these lights as angels or acts of God, we started to wonder...
They so far haven't harmed anybody, but they have caused airline pilots to swerve to miss them and stewardesses have broken ankles because of it.
Every person in my family has seen UFO's. Do I think they're real? Yes. Am I worried? No, i have a Supersoaker. (Bad joke derived from a recent Mel Gibson flick involving aliens.)

PURDUE!!!!
If you haven't realized by now, there are theories that aliens are involved in just about every part of our history and current times. Everyone seems to think that aliens did something to influence something, or they saw one abducting a friend...
hahahhaa hel yeah.
Sure, it's all funny now... But when the aliens come, their systems are probablly going to be way better than ours. I mean, with all that advanced tecnology, you'd think... No human will win a competition ever again!
Back to the semi-serious topic of aliens, the only prooven link to intelligence that made us think that they were aliens, is these UFO's run when chased or seem to "investigate" things. Because they aare unexplained, people can make all kinds of shit up about them and nobody can prove iit's false becaause noboody knows anything in the first place.

To Chinese UFO buffs, it's a serious science

HONG KONG, China (CNN) -- UFO research is the stuff of sci-fi buffs and conspiracy freaks, but in China it's treated seriously.
Joseph Wong, a lab manager at Hong Kong's City University, is a man of science. His job is to assess the structural performance of buildings.
But familiar as he is with hard data, Wong is also a fan of the unexplained.
"If something flies over, there's a very good reason for trying to understand why they're here, why they come to us, what is their relationship between us and them," he says.
Wong is the Chairman of Hong Kong's thriving UFO club -- exploring "unidentified flying objects" or, to the uninitiated, "flying saucers."
The club meets once a month to explore otherworldly topics like "E.T. Civilization" and "Alien Kung Fu."
Members occasionally meet at a cyber cafe called UFO Station in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui district. The spot is home to Hong Kong's own version of the X-files.
The dark monitor-lit café has UFO books, newsletters, and old news clippings of close encounters -- material that UFO club members take very seriously.
A masters in UFOlogy?
"In order to understand UFO phenomena, we need to have a broad understanding of different disciplines," says Albert So, university professor and Hong Kong UFO club member, "including mathematics, physics, history, philosophy, even some sort of paranormal activities and all that."
Hong Kong's UFO enthusiasts, like So, are not dreamy stargazers, but researchers who see their passion as a science.
So much so that they're lobbying for a university degree program in "UFOlogy."
"The graduates of this program will grasp at least all the major knowledge in order to understand UFO phenomena, and also other technologies and any skills related to UFOs," says So.
"After students or friends finish this degree, they may have their own understanding about this universe," Wong adds.
"Maybe they will be able to come up with a new universe model, new way of life, or whatever."
It sounds like a tough sell, but it may not be hard to pitch in mainland China, where there is little taboo about discs that glow in the night or theories on visitors from out there.
Flying boats in China
China's state-run media reports on UFO sightings. Even the government's Ministry of Science and Technology treats the topic with respect.
"It seems that people in the East are more open to discuss issues related to UFOs," So says.
"Perhaps that is something to do with the culture of the races. In particular, Chinese. Chinese is a kind of race who easily believes in something supernatural."
And they may have been believing for a long time. UFO researchers point to an ancient drawing of the 100-year story of an emperor meeting a flying boat – a compelling artifact in support of UFO study, but not the only one.
"For me, it's not very important whether there is really a UFO that can fly or not," Wong says.
"It's when we are investigating this, I think it's the process that actually helps us to understand more about ourselves or our planet."
For club chairman Joseph Wong, the truth may be out there, but the payoff is personal – studying aliens helps to satiate a very healthy, and very human, curiosity.
