Military Exercise or UFO over Chile?

Friday January 2, 2009
Still Frame, Santiago, Chile If you're like me, you probably take a look now and then at new videos over at youtube. Now and then, you see one that really stands out above the crowded skies of lights in the sky, and obvious hoaxes. There is one that was referred to me recently that originated from the city of Santiago, Chile, that you should check out.

The video is fairly long, and quite detailed. It shows several different shapes of light formations, with the most prevalent being triangular. Now, the Air Force has stated that what was photographed was actually a graduation exercise for trainee pilots. This is what I say about that, and if you don't agree, let me know.

If, and I say if, the objects in the sky over Santiago were military planes, then Chile has some craft that I have never seen before. Check out the video, and give us your opinion.

I forgot to mention, click on the link above the video. That’s a Santiago media article regarding the event with the picture of the planes in the sky that night.

looks neat, but I don’t think it’s hard to fake those things these days. But it looks interesting. Hard to beleive that incredible set of lights could remain up there and we didn’t hear it as a news story.

john, i can’t get the link above. I imagine it could be the T-35 Pillan Formation although why would it be done a night? I don’t think I’ve seen a formation that close at night. Even the formations done during the day are dangerous sometimes and result in crashes. I’d think it would be pretty unsafe, especially over a city area.
