this story is from 2013...

A group of UFO Researchers from (SCU) The Scientific Coalition of UFOlogy, with extensive backgrounds in science, have come together to analyze an alleged UFO video from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The object in the video was captured by a thermal imaging camera on a DHS aircraft, in Aguadilla Puerto Rico. According to the researchers, it exhibits characteristics that cannot be explained by any known aircraft, military device or natural phenomenon.

The video is overlaid with the type of telemetry one would expect from a military or law enforcement thermal imaging video. It shows an object moving very quickly over land and then off into the distance. It seems to be ignoring gravity as it tumbles and changes shape, moving over buildings and through trees at speeds estimated to be between 40-120 mph. Then it gets even more bizarre. The object appears to dip in and out of the ocean without slowing down or causing any signs of interaction with the water, and at the end of the video it is either joined by another object or broken into two.

All of the primary witnesses have requested anonymity. However, several communications from alleged DHS employees indicate that the video caused quite a stir on the base. In our current scientific understanding, when an object travels close to the surface of water, it leaves a wake trailing it. All friction must oppose motion and generate heat, right? This is not the case here. There is no splash and there is no wake. Even when using a military grade “stack” tool and the ImageJ Program, researchers analyzing each 0.01 frame were still unable to find any sign of heat transferring to the water. This craft was not creating friction, thus defying the laws of physics.


Research on the video began when an acquaintance to the pilot of the aircraft that captured the video contacted Daina Chaviano, a famous Cuban-born fantasy and science fiction author. She is also a volunteer with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in Florida, where in her spare time she investigates UFO reports. She took the UFO case to her colleague, Morgan Beall, who runs the Florida MUFON chapter.

Chaviano and Beall were so impressed by what they saw, that they assembled a small group of skeptical researchers with backgrounds in various fields of science and technology. The pilot’s acquaintance requested strict control of the information provided and that knowledge of the investigation be limited to a very few people, so until now, the researchers have not shared any information regarding their investigation.

Yesterday, the group released a detailing their findings.

They are vague when it comes to the identity of Chaviano’s informant. They say this person and others who provided information wanted to remain anonymous “to ensure no issues arise with the source’s employers.”

However, the group says: “The source of this video evidence was vetted and identified.”

They say they are absolutely certain that the video is genuine and the information comes from sources on board the DHS aircraft. Their investigation also confirmed their sources told them that the UFO incident began at about 9:20 PM on the evening of April 25, 2013 at the Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. It involved the crew of a DHC-8 Turboprop aircraft from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of DHS.

The DHC-8 took off on a routine flight and soon after takeoff they noticed “a pinkish to reddish light over the ocean that was in their vicinity and approaching toward the south.”

The crew was concerned the tower had not told them about the incoming traffic, so they called it in. The tower told them they also had a visual on the object, but they were unsure of its identity.

Once the object got close to land, its lights turned off, but at this time the DHC-8 was able to begin tracking and filming the object with their onboard thermal imaging system. The DHC-8 did not approach the object, but circled the area and filmed it.

The DHC-8 did not pick up the object on radar. However, their radar was looking downward to track ships on the ocean, not objects in the sky.

According to the source, a flight was delayed by the presence of the object. The research group was able to confirm from airport records that a FedEx flight scheduled to leave at 9:10 pm was delayed until 9:26 pm.

The researchers also confirmed the flight time and path of the DHC-8 via radar data obtained from a Freedom of Information Act Request to the U.S. Air Force 84th Radar Evaluation Squadron (RADES) group. The radar data confirmed that the DHC-8 took off at approximately 9:16 pm and circled the airport twice before leaving the area about 10 minutes later.

The researchers note that there was an unknown object or objects tracked on radar a few minutes prior to the DHC-8’s take off, but it is not known for certain that this was the same object that was later caught on video. The unidentified radar strikes were just off the shore to the north and northwest of the airport and lasted about 16 minutes from 8:58 pm to 9:14 pm.

When reading the times, the radar data is presented in a different time zone than the local times. The researchers explained this on their website: “Aviation times reflect Zulu time which corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The video displays the Zulu time April 26th at 1:22 AM at the top left of the initial frames. Converting this Zulu time to Puerto Rico’s local time gives April 25th at 9:22 PM. Puerto Rico uses Atlantic Standard Time and does not use daylight savings time.”

The research group also thoroughly analyzed the video to determine the nature of the object in the film. They consulted thermal imaging experts to determine the capabilities of the system used for the filming, and broke the film down frame by frame to determine the object’s approximate size, speed, temperature and flight path.

The video (seen at the top of the story) is just under 4 minutes long, but the unknown object was tracked for about 2 1/2 of those minutes. Although it was difficult for the group to calculate the exact location of the object on the first half of its flight, they are confident of its position in the second half.

They have determined that the object came in from the ocean, from the north or northwest of the airport’s airstrip, and then flew over the airstrip, then turned back to the north and headed back out into the ocean.

It was a flying gremlin. It is a well known fact they multiply with water....

Meh...
It was probably just our resident Melmacian, making a grocery run, and cruising for quim.

I like Ladywind's description!!

indeed.

^^^^ That is ONE pic I DO BELIEVE!!

i just dont buy any of em i believe in tradecentre and nwo theories but how big our galaxy is alone im afraid we would never see them.N ot one shred of single bit of proof ever,wait but their on the moon.lol

We've unfortunately reached the point where almost anyone can now rig up a faked or "adjusted" video and claim that it's what really happened. So "seeing is believing" isn't even true for recorded records anymore.

I once was enthralled with the idea of ET's buzzing us, but that fascination led me to carefully study everything about it all, and I came to recognize that there are a short list of reasons to seriously question EVERY reported incident or sighting.

Aside from the well-documented problem with how self-confused eye-witnesses can be, and with how difficult it is to draw ANY conclusions from the videos and still pictures people come up with, it's also extremely common for people who want ET's to be running around here, tend to misinterpret almost any report that comes in.

The single most common refrain we hear, is that "experts" are "baffled," and can't explain what was seen and described.

In fact, the vast majority of the time, and perhaps always, this is actually a simple difference between required FACTUAL reporting, and the fanciful, wishful thinking behind the readings of those reports.

People in positions of responsibility who are asked if they can say for certain what something is, will only be able to honestly answer that they can not, unless they have proof positive. When they correctly report that they cannot identify a UFO, the pro-ET people will jump up and down excitedly and cite this as proof that the report is "unexplained, and inexplicable."

I would still be interested to actually see the alleged video. I remain open to real evidence.
