Mexican lights related to Phoenix lights?
Unexplained phenomenon in the skies over Mexico has some wondering if it
is somehow related to Arizona.
A Valley man is analyzing the so-called UFO sighting.
The sighting occurred two months ago and was videotaped by pilots with
the Mexican military as they flew drug patrols over the state of
Campeche.
In the tape, you can hear them counting objects. Ultimately, 11 lights
or "orbs" are recorded with a combination of infrared and radar
technology.
Jim Dilettoso is a world-recognized expert in video analysis. He got the
video from his friend Mexican journalist Jaime Mousson.
Mousson interviewed the pilots who flew that night.
"A lot of people are saying it's an alien spacecraft," he said. "Well,
I'm not saying that. It could be an alien spacecraft. It could be a ...
holographic projections, so we have to go measure holographic
projections, get the data, compare it and see if it's holographic
projections. That's a lot of work."
Dilettoso is putting a lot of work into it to learn what the objects are
and are not.
"These are not airplanes, these are not helicopters, these are not
balloons," Mousson said. "As sophisticated as our analysis equipment is,
it can't get the license plate off these objects. What we can do it
extract data and compare it to a lot of known objects and compare it to
other unknowns."
The case is getting attention because it comes from the Mexican military
and is being compared by investigators worldwide to the Phoenix lights.
The Phoenix lights seen across the Valley in 1997 received international
attention as a set of unidentified flying objects.
Dilettoso said his analysis of that sighting and of the latest one out
of Mexico have striking similarities.
"The Mexican 11 sighting, the Phoenix light sighting, Fatima and Belgium
are now grouped together as examples of some really important light ball
phenom that has no physical man-made technology explanation," he said.
Dilettoso isn't quite ready to say what he thinks the orbs are yet.
Later this week, he's expecting to receive the entire 37-minute sighting
on tape. At that point, he can do a much deeper analysis.
