The report from the "pilots" indicated that the objects were moving rapidly at an altitude of 11,000 feet and eventually surrounded their "jet", a 1985 Cessna Albatross two-seater. According to the Associated Press, only three of the objects showed up on the "plane's" "radar," but as the "pilot" later pointed out, the "radar" in question was a re-purposed LCD display from a Coleco handheld football game.

Re Mexican AF: I don't think they have any F86s   they do have a half dozen or so F5Es  I believe that's about it.

Re Cuban destroyer: If it was made by Cubans.  looks like a well thought out and constructed craft for which all of the components had to be scrounged and asssembled in secrecy then secretly transported to launch point.  the fact that it even made it to the water is an amazing feat of determination on the part of it's fabricators.  I hope they made it to Florida and are not rotting in some Bahamian concentration camp awaiting to be deported to Cuba for further persecution.  where did you find the story, will you post a link?

Picture was taken near Key West, I guess who ever built it disappeared into the wood work in Miami. It just goes to show you how far they will go to leave Fidel's socialist paradise, a lot of ingenuity went into it. It was made from 55 gal drums and scrap metal. Powered by a small industrial engine with an in board shaft.
