Metro (U.K) ^ | 1/9 | Rob Waugh

The Chilean Navy has admitted that it ‘can’t explain’ a strange craft captured on film by a a Navy helicopter in 2014. After two years of analysis of the nine-minute video, the CEFAA, the Chilean government agency which analyses UFOS, says it has no explanation for the craft. It was captured by two experienced Navy officers on board an Airbus Cougar AS-532 on a routine patrol west of Santiago in November 2014.. General Ricardo Bermúdez, Director of CEFAA said, ‘We do not know what it was, but we do know what it was not.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual says, ‘This is a very unusual object and it is noteworthy that South America is a hotbed for UFO activity. This is certainly a UFO that is hard to explain.

‘By order of General Gonzalo Miranda, the General Director of Civil Aeronautics, the Committee for Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA) was created in 03 October 1997 after several UFO sightings in March and April of that year.

‘Early in 2007, a UFO conference in Viña del Mar featured UFO videos and photographs by the Chilean Armed Forces and was attended by members of the armed forces. Rodrigo Bravo, Captain of the Army’s Fifth Division, told the conference that three helicopters saw in UFO on the ground near La Unión. Armando Valdés also recounted seeing a UFO on 25 April 1977, whilst on an army patrol. When he went to investigate it, he was apparently abducted for 15 minutes.

‘The CEFFA website contains information about the organisation of the group, case studies and notes on methodology. According to their website, ‘The CEFAA has the mission to collect, analyze and investigate all reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that occur in the country, through a serious, objective and scientific research, with the aim of determining whether jeopardized the safety of air operations, thus contributing to the safety of aviation in Chile.’

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus

That is a very misshapen space craft there. Must be one of those new fangled types that are actually organic.

Given the fact there are purported to be hundreds of billions of galaxies out there, it is likely that there are other advanced civilizations. Yet given the enormous distances and the laws of physics (speed limit of 186,000 miles per second) and the nearest “habitable” alien planets hundreds of light years away), it is a virtual impossibility for a mechanical or biological entity to reach us or us to reach them. For UFO’s to be really alien craft, someone has to prove Einstein to be wrong.

While camping out in the middle of nowhere, literally, some five years ago, I spotted a low flying UFO about a mile away from my camp. It was a green glowing orb that moved at incredible speed, zig zagging, left to right, and up and down before disappearing into a canyon. What is was, I have no idea. There was no one else around for at least 50 miles in any direction.

Yep. It’s obvious. It’s clear to any of us that know about this stuff. But I think you mean Mars, not Venus.

Obviously it was a Russian operation to somehow humiliate Hillary. It was probably directed by Putin himself. Gee, that was easy to figure out.

I was on I-5 northbound by Yreka at about 3:00 on my way back to Seattle.We pulled off at an off ramp because I was getting sleepy at the wheel. I got out of the car and we could see a LONG ways off to the west. About five-10 miles away I saw what looked like a helicopter search light bobbing up and down into the clouds. Actually, there were two of them. You could see the beam pointing down as through a faint fog. What was weird was that it was a greenish light.

Anyway, the clouds were the kind where they break up in fairly regular patterns and you can see through the multiple spaces to stars. As these helicopters seemed to be getting closer and closer, I noticed above the clouds, what can only be described as a giant black tube (i.e. I couldn’t actually see it) adorned with lots and lots of pastel pinpoint lights. It had the proportions of a concert flute. That is long and skinny in that way. I pointed one of my fingers at the front of it and one at the back. My arms made an angle of about 30 degrees.

It was also dead silent. I watched it through the clouds until it went far enough east that it was completely obscured by the clouds.

This was around 1990.

Looks like a drone towing a sign that says “Eat at Augusto’s”.

They exists. Believe me. Ask anyone who worked security at any of the SAC Minute Man bases during the 60’s. They were all over the place watching what we were doing. Followed them on radar. Scrambled fighters to chase them. They landed on remote silos. Had a friend empty his carbine at one. He heard the rounds hit.
Funny. Next morning(this was within hours) he was shipped off to dog handling school in the Philippines. And that’s just some of what happened.

I happen to believe that these UFOs are not likely to be aliens. Impossible? Of course not. It depends on one's assumptions on distributions of intelligent civilizations. We really don't know. There could be an intelligent civilization in each star system for all we know.

Amazing story. What I saw was dead silent too. Not a sound came from it. It was very close.

When I told my brother about it he asked if it could have been a drone. “No,’ I replied, ‘no drone that I’m aware of could do what I saw.” This was in 2011. Of course, when I mentioned my sighting to my co-workers about it they laughed like I was some kind of nut or were sure I had seen a stealth aircraft. Sure.

No wonder people that see strange, unknown, things generally keep quiet about their sighting. People that have never seen anything out of the ordinary are prone to ridicule someone that has seen strange things.

My kids and I were coming home one night and when we toppd a hill there were 3 oval glowing, silent ???? to the north of us. We watched them for several minutes then, suddenly they sort of swooped downish and away. Very fast!
The next day there was a short piece in the newspaper about 3 UFOs spotted over Italy.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

They have been known to abduct anyone exposing them online, erasing their memory, then time traveling back and eliminating their post. Sometimes they screw up time travel thing which can result in a triple post.
