For a moment the "Mexican Air Force" took me offguard, but of course they have one!

remember those British military cave divers who were trapped in that cave in Mexico? and who REFUSED Mexican rescue efforts, instead waiting for their own to show up?
WHAT ON EARTH WERE THEY DOING?!?!?! Maybe they turned something up? something that's connected with those lights in the sky?
[the preceding was all my fanboy wishful thinking at its worst.]
here's something I found a scuba-board. who knows how authentic it is?

Hello David:
Yes, the Union Internationale de Speleologie has among their guidelines for
international exploration that local groups should be contacted, all permits
obtained and copies of the work should be distributed to the local group or
authorities when everything is over.
As head of international relations of the UMAE (Mexican Union of Speleological
Associations) I was aware of the presence of the British in Cuetzalan, they
informed their objectives and they are working with the SMES (Sociedad Mexicana
de Exploraciones Subterraneas or Mexican Society of Underground Explorations).
Further, given the nature and location of their activities they don't need a
special permit. Perhaps to inform the locals and local authorities about your
goals and your presence, but that's good landowner relations. As far as anybody
can tell, they went through the proper channels.
They are NOT military commandos secretly training in Puebla, they are just
regular cavers who for the most part happen to belong to the British military.
We were aware of the situation before it hit the news, but there was no need to
inform or alert the rescue community, because there's NO rescue, NO urgent
situation, NO need to evacuate immediately.
Mexican cavers are not ticked off by the British expedition and the situation
evolving there. Mexican cave rescue (ERM) is on stand-by to help, should the
need arise, but again, the situation is normal, it was expected, and it should
be resolved soon. I'm sure they're many times more worried about all that's
been going on in the media than about the water level.
Best regards,
Rodolfo (Fofo) Gonzalez
International Relations, UMAE
Northeast Region Coordinator, Espeleo Rescate Mexico (ERM)

I think you gotta drink the kool-ade in order to be able to board the mothership. Let us know how it goes after you get there! LMAO

Nope. Not buying the UFO theory. Now when they start changing colors in response to hand motions, then I'll believe.

But my favorite comment from the article:
"...The armed forces don't perpetuate frauds."
Uh, yeah, right, never.
