On March 5, 2004, a Mexican Air Force C-26A Merlin conducting drug surveillance over Campeche state detected 11 objects on its FLIR infrared camera that were entirely invisible to the naked eye. Three of the objects also registered on radar. The Secretary of National Defense officially released the footage and crew reports to the media, calling the objects unidentified.

Crew: Maj. Magdaleno Castañón commanding, Lt. Mario Adrián Vázquez on FLIR, Lt. German Ramirez on radar. The objects surrounded the aircraft in a circular formation at 10,500 feet. Gen. Ricardo Clément authorized Jaime Maussan to release the material publicly. Senior Air Force officials confirmed the footage was genuine and unedited. No conventional explanation was offered by SEDENA.
