Since its release on The Huffington Post on January 5, a video taken from a Chilean Navy helicopter of an unidentified object has gone viral, with almost two million views. (Please see my previous story for necessary background.) I reported on the Chilean government CEFAAs conclusion, based on the collective opinion of its many committee members, that the object was a UAP and could not have been an airplane. Since then, this has come into question, and has raised doubts in some peoples minds.

It is now becoming clear that this possibility is a legitimate one, and needs to be explored further. Scrutiny and debate are always a good thing, of course. But putting any conclusions about the case aside, my colleagues and I would like to suggest that a more scientific and respectful approach be taken than what we have seen so far, if further investigations are to be undertaken.

And, a note on the images included here: They are not to be reproduced anywhere without permission. The videos and photos from my previous story were taken and spread wildly around the internet. Also, many news outlets and blogs re-phrased the article or simply copied it outright, as if it were theirs, without giving credit to its source. This time, I am stating up front that these images belong to CEFAA and reproduction is strictly prohibited.
