>MEXICO CITY - A cluster of mysterious objects that surrounded a Mexican
>Air Force plane, alarming the pilots and sparking a UFO
>scare, could be a weather phenomenon known as ball lightning, a scientist
>said on Friday.
>
>The pilots grew nervous during a routine drugs surveillance flight in
>March when their radar detected strange objects flying nearby and
>an infrared camera showed 11 blobs of light, invisible to the eye,
>hovering or darting about their plane.
>
>Mexico's Air Force this weekreleased footage from the infrared camera that
>was shown widely on television. As Mexican and
>international media published photographs of the objects, UFO Web sites
>saw the case as possible evidence of a new sighting of
>some form of extraterrestrial life.
>
>But nuclear science researcher Julio Herrera said the blobs of light may
>have been nothing more than ball lightning -- glowing
>spheres that are little understood but often sighted near the ground
>during thunderstorms.
>
>"Just as you have lightning between clouds and ground, you can also have
>it within the clouds and sometimes ball lightning can
>develop. I feel this is one of these rare events," said Herrera, based at
>Mexico's National AutonomousUniversity.
>
>"It's a very rare atmospheric phenomenon and it would be very interesting
>to be able to analyze all the information these pilots
>obtained," he told Reuters.
>
>UFO follower Jaime Maussan said on Tuesday the objects seemed
>"intelligent" after they turned around to surround the plane chasing
>them -- but Herrera said electrical discharges in ball lightning could
>have been attracted to the plane as a conductor.
