Chilean navy admits it can’t explain ‘UFO’

A Military helicopter captured the incredible footage in November 2014 during a routine coastal patrol.

The craft – spotted in broad daylight – was filmed using the chopper’s infrared camera.

The “UFO” can be seen hovering in the clouds before appearing to give off some sort of gas as it moves along.

The pilots tracked the craft from around 40 miles away and tried several times to communicate with it.

After receiving no response, they reported it to a pair of nearby radar stations.

But shockingly, neither of them were able to see it on their screens – despite being able to detect the navy choppers.

Air traffic controllers also confirmed that no aircraft had been authorized to fly in the area where the craft was sighted, according to the Huffington Post.

Chilean government agency the CEFAA, which investigates UFO sightings, has been probing the incident for two years.

But after examining the footage and quizzing the pilots, air traffic controllers, and radar operators, CEFAA are still stumped as to what the object is.

General Ricardo Bermúdez, Director of CEFAA during the investigation, said: “We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not.”

Speaking after interviewing the airmen, Bermúdez added: “I was very impressed by these witnesses.

“They were highly trained professionals with many years’ experience, and they were absolutely certain that they could not explain what they saw.”

If a navy as cutting edge as Chile’s can’t explain it, nobody can. Did they at least get a Polaroid of it?

Oh, sorry guys. I was hitting the tequila pretty hard and the beans made me gassy.

You can see in the video they are switching back and forth from infrared to regular visible light camera and not getting a visual image.
This thing was only “visible” in IR.
My first thought is an IR camera problem.

Well, its Chile, no Tequila and beans are available but beans are not the national dish. The Chilean drink, like that of Peru, is Pisco, which is something between brandy and grappa.

At 1:22 on the long youtube video it shows up as a tiny white spec on what I think is the visible range camera. And after it leaves the “cloud” that is obvious on the IR, there seems to be a similar narrow bright cloud in the visible spectrum - although hard to tell for sure with all of the other natural clouds.

My wife got me that poster “I Want to Believe” as a joke for Christmas. Yeah - I’m not a believer in alien ufo’s..... yet! (Top secret military, etc. - well sure!)

Ha, I bet you think you have me nailed to the wall! But no you don't. I was just hovering for Chile after having light speeded out of Mexico, wherefrom I got the Tequila and the beans.

They might have been dumping the holding tank.

Just a little glitch with the cloaking device. It’s working fine for most frequencies.

Come on, we're not naive, we know who's behind it.

UK Express: 'Vladimir Putin is advised by ALIENS' Councillor blames space reptiles for Ukraine crisis

...Simon Parkes, a councillor in Whitby, North Yorkshire, blamed hostilities in troubled eastern Ukraine on a group of alien reptiles he calls the 'Nordics.'

The 53-year-old, who claims to have been visited by extra-terrestrials ever since being inside his mother's womb, said the correspondence between Putin and the Nordics "is on par with America" during a Q&A session in Wallsend, North Tyneside.

NB: Putin, reached for comment said, "While they might have bad teeth, the Brits certainly have more plausible conspiracy theories than McCain, Graham, Brennan, and Clapper.

Little to no track crossing rate, visible in IR only. My guess from looking at the video is a twin engine jet heading away at a distance. The streak could be a number of things including a shot of afterburner.
