UFO IN CHILE

[FLOOB]

What was it?

Is Chile near France?

The title has the answer: An UFO. It's unidentified, it flies and it seems to be an object instead of fog or lens flare.

Saw a big ole meteor streak across the sky last week. Long trail of sparks, then pop!
Bigger than your average shooting star, but not a gigantic one like happened in Russia a couple years ago.

Heard that a big asteroid passed between the Earth and the Moon too.. Yesterday?
They say it was the size of a 10 story building. Apparently, they didn't see it coming either!

An impact from that would have ruined things for a while!

Not really: https://www.cnet.com/news/asteroid-2017-ag13-passes-earth-moon-slooh/

2017 AG13 isn't so big it would have meant an extinction-level event had it been a direct hit. But if a good size chunk of it made it through Earth's upper atmosphere near a populated area, there might have been damage like we saw in 2013 when a bolide collided with the atmosphere over the Russian city Chelyabinsk. In that event, a fireball streaked over the city, releasing 500 kilotons of energy as it ran up against some serious resistance from Earth's atmosphere and exploded, blowing out windows all over town in the process.

It could have caused significant damage on a local level but not much more than that. To really do some major damage it has to impact earth or explode at a very low altitude, both of which are unlikely. A more likely scenario is the one above.

The meteorite that created the Barringer crater was approx 50m in diameter (and made of iron), significantly larger, and such hit on a major city would be roughly equivalent to a 10 megaton nuclear bomb.

Edit: Compare it to the Tunguska event where the meteor was 60-190 meters across (Depending on what material it was composed of) and exploded as low as 5-10km agl. A meteor made of ice or rock almost always disintegrate or explode in the atmosphere while one made of iron is much more likely to make it to the ground.

The Chilean UFO was a commercial jet. The so called experts there are really not experts at all. They love pushing the ufo button for attention.

A commercial jet with particle beam weapons that didn't show up on radar.

My guess is an airliner plus some incompetence..

That country is known as a hot spot for UGOS as they do not really investigate them.

Video I posted explains that it was a commercial jet. It did not show on dar because it was farther away than pilot had judged. So where he deemed it there was nothing on radar.

Watch the video. Well explained.

It was obviously some sort of Cthulhuoid creature, one of the Old Ones.

It finally ended up crashing near the coast of China.
