The UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) community of researchers and enthusiasts was put into a tailspin this week with the release of the declassified UFO video from the Chilean Navy, a 10-minute clip that, when all was said and done, was classified as a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) by the Chilean government. The intriguing video clip quickly became headline news around the world. But many of the reports have omitted (purposefully or unknowingly) the followup review of the incident conducted by the French image analysis company IPACO, which concluded that the UFO being chased by the Chilean Navy helicopter was, more likely as not, an airplane.
The Huffington Post called the just-released Chilean Navy UFO video a “groundbreaking” clip. Britain’s Daily Express labeled the image a “REAL UFO.” That ruling by the Chilean Navy, relying on the investigation conducted by the CEFAA (Committee for Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena, the Chilean equivalent to the Federation Aviation Administration), still categorizes the image in the video as a UAP.
The 10-minute recording was captured in broad daylight by a Chilean Navy helicopter’s Surveillance and Reconnaissance (SAR) camera making a routine patrol along the Chilean coast in November 2014. The crew, who also had a line-of-sight view of the object, immediately contacted local airports and military facilities to confirm a radar contact. None of the systems picked up the UFO. Subsequent checks indicated that no air traffic was authorized to be in the area at the time.
Attempted communications with the mysterious craft with standard civilian frequencies received no response.
In the video itself, the object can be seen to have two major heat signatures. A couple times, there appears a third glowing heat signature, somewhat smaller, between the two.
