What is it about Mexico that attracts all these reports of UFO sightings? Bored fighter jet pilots perhaps?

Then again, they were on a routine drug traffik busting mission and maybe they’d just caught a couple of smugglers. I can almost hear the conversation now:

INT. MEXICO DRUGS SQUAD JET COCKPIT - NIGHT
PILOT 1
Eh! Pablo! Ees a good theeng we ran into Don Montoya back there an’ seized his stash, no?

PILOT 2 (PABLO)
(over intercom)
Most certainly Paulo! Our supplies, they were running low.

The sound of Paulo taking a hefty TOKE of a joint is heard over the intercom.

PILOT 1 (PAULO)
And thees stuff, it is the good sheet, yes? Don’t be smoking it all before we get back, amigo!

PILOT 2 (PABLO)
(over intercom)
Of course not, compadre. I’ll save you un poco!

They both laugh raucously!

PILOT 2 (PABLO)
(over intercom)
Hey Paulo, have a look at your radar. Ees some weird, crazy readings.

PILOT 1 (PAULO)
Radar? We don’ t need no steenkeng radar. Look outside at all the lights, amigo.

PILOT 2 (PABLO)
(over intercom)
Woah!

PILOT 1 (PAULO)
Si! Is definitely some good sheet, man!
