Chilean Navy Says it ‘Can’t Explain’ UFO Captured on Film by Helicopter Pilot
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.’

Must be one of those farmers ready to crystalize the whole planets population, and they are really good at memory erasure.

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.

How do you know - I mean absolutely know - that?

Eye floater? Firefly?

Regards,

“Hyper-active swamp gas.”

Is that the same as swamp ass?

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.


We don’t have the technology to travel interstellar distances, but they might. Consider how advanced our technology would look to a person from say the 1700s. What technologies might be uncovered 300 years beyond our own time? Not hard to imagine another planet that might be 300 or 3,000 years more advanced than we are technically.

Every airline pilot I’ve asked about UFOs have all said they’ve seen them.

“Ha! And some people still think we are alone.”

My story goes way back. My Dad graduated Magna whaterver at Case. He enlisted the the next day, Two guys in black suits showed up a couple days later and said they needed him im Washington. He went to work for the NACA now NASA. After the war, he quit and left DC. I was 6 months old. He went into real estate and built a small house in Independence Ohio. A Nike site was 2 blocks away. William Trickers was my back yard. Several acres of pitch black at night, In around 1952 or so, I woke up walking in a ship. Rounded walls that looked like brushed stainless steel. A very loud electrical hum in my ears. I was directed into a room that was velvet black, even though the door was wide open and the hallway was briliiantly lit, It was some sort of a test, There were shapes floating in the air. I became very frightened, and the next thing I knew, I was back in my bedroom, but still with the loud hum in my ears. I walked into my parents bedroom and pulled the chain on the light on their bedstand. The bulb exploded. Not went out! It exploded into pieces. The hum stopped. My Mom freaked. I was 4 or 5 years old. Had another contact in 1974, but don’t remembere much about it.

"...it is a virtual impossibility for a mechanical or biological entity to reach us or us to reach them."

What is 100% true is that we do not fully understand our universe. To ascribe impossibility to something in the face of wide evidence is foolhardy.

It's obvious that we are tiny beings looking through a keyhole, seeing and interacting with a tiny slice of reality.

A distant civilization could literally be a billion years more advanced. Yet they would still have to obey the laws of physics. Either Einstein was right or if UFO’s are real ( and there has been absolutely no irrefutable evidence of their existence), Einstein was wrong. Sorry there can be no other rational conclusion.

Early 80s, I was a child with my family driving through the Mojave at night on the way to Los Angeles. It was pitch black around us. Suddenly, we saw a massive, MASSIVE, string of lights in the sky, behind us, low across the horizon.

I wasn't afraid, until my parents starting loudly praying. The lights slowly went off, one on each side, until there was only a central light. Then they all came on again instantly and stayed there for a few minutes.

Heard absolutely no sound, but we were driving. Was quite terrifying.

I was having some fun with the triple post thing and did not mean to make fun of your experience. I’ve seen some things I can’t explain also.

You haven't been keeping up with modern quantum physics. Quantum and particle behavior & laws have not been harmonized.

Bring in dark matter & energy, black holes, worm holes, multi-verses, etc. etc., and it's clear, to paraphrase Newton, that we are but boys playing of the seashore if a great ocean of truth.

Well admit not to know much about quantum physics but would be interested if someone interviewed the Chairmen of the Physics Department of say the top 25 US universities and ask them their opinion regarding UFOs. Doubt you would find one who would support the thesis that a mechanical or biological entity can cross those distances. That is not to say that distant civilizations have communicated with digital radio wave communications and there is a “network” of interconnected civilizations that may soon communicate with us. Earth has been transmitting in analog for over 110 years and digitally for over forty. Its conceivable a civilization forty to one hundred light years away has “heard” us and is preparing a wondrous response. Yet they cannot physically visit us. Children born in the 21st century may very well experience such a communication from a “network” of distant civilizations in their lifetimes.

In the winter of 1985, I was driving southbound on Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, CA a little after dark. It was an overcast night with heavy, low cloud cover.

As I stopped at a light, I noticed a bright white light move through the clouds overhead, northbound, at tremendous speed. Seconds later, another one went zipping by going southbound.

As I left the light, I began angling my head all around to see if there were more of them. Boy, were there. Looking out my driver’s side window (toward the port), I could see one after another of them, zipping through the clouds from various trajectories, moving at speeds, and making abrupt turns that no aircraft could possibly do. And, they were absolutely silent.

I was driving pretty slow at that point, due to having so much of my visual attention tied up on the overhead spectacle. I hardly noticed other drivers, so they were probably all creeping along, watching it, too.

My travel along the avenue was probably three or four miles, and the activity never stopped along the way. When I got to my destination, I got out of my car and stood in the parking lot watching them. It didn’t stop for the whole time I stood there, which was probably about ten minutes. When I finally went inside, it was still going on.

Real science is seldom if ever really settled. The whole concept of 'settled science' is a thought stopping tool of the elite status quo in academia, which suppresses and retards real advancement in the sciences.

Young researchers are cowed by their elders into toeing the line of accepted paradigms, and to spend their careers, not in fruitful exploration of better answers, but in reinforcing leaden dogma and concepts that fail to truly break new ground in our understanding of the universe.

I see that thought stopping process at work every time the subject of faster than light travel comes up on this website.

Go back 120 years and ask the most eminent scientists of the day whether manned flight was possible, and most would probably tell you, "No", because that was the ordained scientific consensus of the day. Manned space flight? Guffaws all around.

True enough and a mighty tip of the hat to the person who proves Einstein wrong or finds true exceptions to his general theory of relativity.

This is not someone's foolish dream, and they were not sent down here from Mars. It's a warning that we'd better mend our ways.
When you see a saucer fly like a comet through the sky,
You should realize the price you'll have to pay.
You'd better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers.
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day.
