There isn’t even really any good quality evidence of flying objects displaying amazing technology. There are other genuine issues, too – like anomalous radar returns and inexplicable eyewitness sightings – but there’s no evidence of aliens. A distant drone, even a domestic one, is difficult to identify, and we know foreign adversaries have a strong interest in developing and using novel stealth drones for espionage and probing our defenses. There are real issues regarding unidentified sightings – drones being a major one. This is not to say there’s nothing for the military to be concerned about. It’s a government report, but with no real funding the report will probably rely on work previously done as a pet project of former senator and UFO enthusiast Harry Reid – something the Pentagon does not want to talk about because it’s a bit silly.

I expect the Pentagon’s forthcoming UAP report to be more of the same.

(Several of the New York Times’s much-discussed recent UFO pieces were co-written by Leslie Kean, who was so impressed by the Chilean case.) The History Channel’s pop-science television series Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation adopted a similar approach, trotting out “experts” to express amazement and puzzlement at what was ultimately quite explicable. But the people telling us this are the same people who gushingly promoted these videos as compelling evidence to the media. We are told there is secret, classified data we can’t see that proves something. “Green Pyramid” looked like “the best UFO footage of all time” for two days, then I pointed out it looked exactly like an out-of-focus airliner shot in night vision with a triangular aperture.

“Tic Tac” did not show a craft moving like a ping-pong ball, but instead looked more like a distant plane with the apparent movement caused by the camera switching modes and performing gimbal rolls.

“Go Fast” was not actually going fast, and was consistent with a balloon drifting in the wind. Other, less impressive videos (which UFO buffs also describe as being remarkable) have quickly succumbed to analysis.

This is also probably why the navy gave it the code name “Gimbal”, rather than, say, “Flying Saucer”. I looked up the camera’s patents these revealed a de-rotation mechanism used to correct for “gimbal roll”, which would inevitably mean glares would rotate in the manner seen in the video. Some investigation confirmed this was a very likely hypothesis. One video, codenamed “Gimbal”, seems particularly impressive: it shows what looks like an actual flying saucer skimming over the clouds.īut my experience with the Chilean UFO immediately suggested a more mundane explanation: the infrared glare from the engines of a distant jet. I, along with many others, have performed deep analysis on the black-and-white videos that have served as backdrops to hundreds of media stories on UFOs. As with the Chilean case, we are shown blurry video from military-grade infrared cameras as highly compelling evidence that has, apparently, resisted analysis.īut again, when the supposed evidence is subject to public scrutiny, the claims made about it fall away. UFO enthusiasts claim that there’s amazing evidence of UAPs, representing something incredible, and that a special group has been investigating this for years. Something similar seems to be playing out with the current situation with the US navy. Radar data confirmed that the exact location of the plane matched the UFO. The glare from the engines obscured the plane and created the unusual shape. The “hot gases” were just contrails, and the odd movement was the result of a low viewing angle and a powerful zoom factor on the infrared camera. Three days later I, and others, identified the plane as Iberia flight 6830, departing Santiago airport. The writer Leslie Kean wrote an effusive article in the Huffington Post lauding the development as a “groundbreaking” and “exceptional” discovery based on video and accounts from, her Chilean government sources said, “highly trained professionals with many years experience” and the “full participation” of academia and the armed forces.

The research group released their conclusions and published the enigmatic video. A real UFO, certified by a national military. Over two years they carefully studied the case, eliminated all mundane possibilities, and finally concluded that this object was a “genuine unknown”. A special group was formed of military personnel, scientists and other experts. The black-and-white footage showed a bizarre black shape flying across the sky, and at one point it seemed to emit plumes of hot gases. Using a hi-tech infrared camera, the Chilean navy had recorded video of a mysterious object in the distance.
