NUFORC UFO Sighting 186953
Occurred: 2025-01-16 22:44 Local
Reported: 2025-01-17 18:33 Pacific
Duration: Around 7 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: La Florida, Región Metropolitana, Chile
Location details: From a building's balcony in the 4th floor, looking to the North-West.

Shape: Orb
Color: White
Estimated Size: No idea.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: We were looking toward the North-East.
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: Eight to Nine hundred yards.
Estimated Speed: No idea. Slow.
Characteristics: Emitted beams

Bright white orb displaying varying degrees of luminous intensity, movement, and potentially anomalous behavior recorded on video.

Observer #1 spotted a small, bright, white light above a nearby building. They noted the light was unusual and shouldn’t have been there, as they pointed it out. I also recognized the light as unusual, and we both saw it move slightly downward and seemingly get bigger, at which point they started recording on their cell phone. Moments later, I started recording as well.

To our eyes, the light started small and bright and kept getting bigger and brighter. It remained stationary for about 20 seconds, and then we noticed it was moving downward, closer to the building’s top (from our perspective).

Observer #1 also noticed the light had a sort of ‘tail’ or ‘beam’ of light protruding from its otherwise round-ovalish shape, that was most clearly visible on their cell phone screen (which had the better camera and zoom). This light protruded to the top-right of the shape, from our perspective.

Moments later, the orb began moving upward and stood stationary once more for roughly 20 seconds before it started a diagonal descent to the left, seemingly going behind the buildings with only a small portion of it remaining visible (which included this ‘beam’ of light). A couple of seconds later, it began to move upward once more; still close to the rooftops but entirely visible.

The orb then began to intensify in brightness and noticeably grow in size—later, studying the video, it is rather easy to see the light ‘beam’ seemingly retracts into the orb as this happened. It then began to move upward once more. At this point, the orb looked noticeably bigger and brighter than when we started recording.

After roughly a minute and a half of slowly ascending motion, a new beam of light seemingly forms, protruding from the orb, this time down and to the right from our perspective. This was most easily appreciated on the cell phone screen (and the video later), as it was more difficult to make out the details to the naked eye due to its intense brightness. The upward and leftward motion continued for roughly another minute, and then it began moving downward once more; faster this time around (it only took about 20 seconds).

During our sighting, we thought we had lost sight of the orb behind the buildings. On closer inspection of the videos, there are some frames where the orb seemingly appears to be positioned in front of the buildings for a few seconds before diminishing in size and disappearing.

Personal notes of potentially anomalous behavior:

* The object’s or light source’s motion seemed unusual from the get-go, but it is difficult to put into words exactly why.

* The way the light emitted by the object seemed to intensify also came across as highly unusual. In my personal opinion, the videos do not do justice to how bright the object’s light was perceived by the naked eye. The difference in brightness and size increase could be described as dramatic.

* While these details were not as evident as we watched, upon studying the videos, the way these ‘light beams’ seemingly expand and retract from the object has to be considered entirely anomalous. Especially because of how this action seemingly triggered, or corresponded to, the brightness and size increase that took place as this retraction happened, as displayed between 2:20 to 2:30 in the second video captured on the Samsung A54 (labeled “Samsung A54 - 2025 01 16 - Vid 2”).

* As we saw it take place, we were unsure if the object was positioned in front or behind the buildings as we lost sight of it. After carefully reviewing the videos, I believe that confusion might be the result of the light being emitted by the orb potentially behaving “unnaturally”.

Meaning that, if it was indeed positioned in front of the building, as the videos suggest, we saw the orb diminish and disappear (instead of getting lost from our sight behind the structure). But if that was the case, I think such a bright source of light should also have affected its surroundings as well, which does not appear to be the case, neither in the video nor during the sighting event.

NUFORC Note:

No videos were included in the report.

Floating orb statically, then begins to rise until it disappears

I was about to go to bed, I went out to the yard of my house to smoke and let my dogs do their business. When I looked at the sky I saw a glow on the horizon that at first glance looked like a star, then I realized that there shouldn't be such a star in that part from the sky, when I start recording, the orb remains static in the sky, until at one point it begins to rise, without erratic movements, it passively rose at a speed that I could record it until it disappeared in the darkness of the night.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

One Chevron Shaped UFO warping light effect around it.

It was almost dark and we could see the outline of a boomerang (chevron) shaped craft and seemed to bend or "warp" light around it to make it look translucent like , though it had an off tone gray-ish tint compared to the sky background. was moving at a slow but steady pace (slower than a plane). Completely silent, no sound of engine or jet. This made it difficult to tell if it was either very far away or just small but close. It also had 4 lights per side in the back (though it could have been the warp effect of stars shining of the edge of the UFO)

Characteristics: Left a trail

Sudden appearance of spherical object at high altitude with accompanying large sonic boom and sharp turn south to the Antarctic

At 11:43 am in the Island of Tierra del Fuego I was working with two others and another two using a percussion drill heard a large boom like sound, the guys with the drill heard it and they had ear protections on, so you can imagine the load explosion sound.

We looked around and didn't see anything amiss, then looked up in the sky and we saw a small vapour trail then sky then another vapour trail with a craft doing the trail. It would appear that it appeared out of nowhere and was the cause of this sound. It came in from the East and headed West.

Please note, in the South of Chile there are no overflying commercial flights and military activity is very low. As I'm from Europe, I know what high flying planes look like and the trails they leave.

The trail left was behind by what I could make out a spherical spinning object (caused by the reflection of the sun. I thought it maybe a plane but I had trouble seeing wings, also it was very high up in the atmosphere.

What really hit us was after a couple of minutes it took a sharp left, to the South towards the Antarctic. It it went north then I could be assumed to be military, but there again when we first saw the object, there was no trail from where it came.

After a minute, the object was too distant to be seen, I have no idea of how fast it was travelling, maybe around 1200 miles per hour, or more if it was high up. The sharp turn was not expected to be honest.

While traveling on a bus during the day I saw a motionless double white light object in the sky

I was traveling by bus halfway between Vallenar and La Serena in the north of Chile, it was 7:30 AM, it was morning already, I was looking out the window to the west, the sky was clear, blue, above the steppe, the rest of the people traveling on the bus were either sleeping or had the window curtains closed and I did not want to say anything to them because I did not feel that was so important to tell what I saw or rather I felt inhibited to speak to them about it.

Suddenly there it was: an object I estimate at 300-500 meters above, it was like two Venus stars together, but a different kind of luminosity, I could not see the body of the object but the light it casted, it was two round lights together like this: OO The double light of the object was white as the spotlight of a stadium, I saw it for about four minutes, the most incredible was that the object did not move, it was motionless there on the same spot, first I saw it to the south, then as the bus was moving southward the object was right above, then the bus kept moving south and the object was right there to the north, until the bus went on and I could not see it anymore.

The object was in the air above the ground, static and luminous.

White light darts and zig zags across sky at sea

While standing on the 10th level of the cruise ship MS Veendam south of Puerto Montt, Chile, and facing west at approximately 9:00 PM local time, I noticed two lights near the horizon. I assumed that these were distant ships but it was too dark to see any ship outlines. I then saw another light zig zag from one of the original lights to the other very quickly and erratically. It then blinked out.

Round object, changing colours from red, blue to white, with electric currents running through, releasing something into the air, blue

We saw a round object changing colours from blue to red and white, objects shot out from the object like something exploding. Using the binoculars it was clearer and we could see there were 3 in a triangle shape. Observing the closest one noted that within the circle were electric currents which also changed colours. A very strange event, I have never seen anything like it in my life. After a while noticed a 4th one in the distance. They all moved but the one we had been observing was getting smaller as if going away at a angle into the distance. Just incredible. I would love to know what it is, it had so much energy flowing.

Chile - 3 moving bright red yellow lights at midnight 1/1/2008

At around 12:20 AM local time (3:20 GMT) 1/1/2008. my wife an I saw a read light, like a star but changing brightness from very dim to very bright, even brighter that Sirius. The color changed from very dip red to orange/yellow. A few minutes after I went into the house to see if someone reported an astronomic event to explain this phenomenon. This light show up bellow the Taurus constellation (north-east), at around 20-30 digress above the horizon. During my laptop booting process I went out to verify the object, but for my surprise I found another light with the same characteristics at our north around 30 digress above horizon.

Then my wife show me another abject with the same characteristics moving from south to north that pass just above zenith to about the same location that the other lights were.

We also notice that the north and the north-east lights were moving slowly. The north-east light was moving west.

After 1am I went out several times and didn't see anything else.

No noise during this events.

Many years as an amateur astronomer and artificial satellite viewer and never saw something like this.

Any explanation?

Seven Tetrahedral UFOs seen over Chile

My eight year old son and i were out for a walk in a tremendous storm. It was morning and very cloudy with torrential downpours all day long which is extremely rare for such our location. There was no lightning or thunder.

We were walking along an old road enjoying a gap in the storm. We arrived at a small meadow and pond where we saw the first of the seven tetrahedral UFOs. It can from the west, directly behind the sun. It swooped past and disappeared. A precession of five other identical objects swooped past.

My son and I were frightened and left immediately. We returned home and passed my wife's grave, who died nine years ago, on the way. This is where we saw the final object. It hovered over the church and rotated rapidly then sped away. It was shiny greenish and almost seemed to be made of glass. The objects appeared to be the church is bankrupt and rarely used so there was no one there.

At this point we were very scared, but it began to rain so we hurried home. I have been too scared to tell anyone about this until if found this anonymous service.

Thank you, and I hope this helps you better understand this dangerous phenomenon.

Very bright red-orange "blinking" light in northern horizon (west of Pleiades) - brighter than Mars, two sightings, Santiago, Chile

For about ten minutes, approximately 23:15 hours Santiago, Chile time (21:15 hours EST time)a very bright orange-red light, way too big to be a planet, and certainly not in the right place or time for Mars, at approximately half-way between the horizon and the Pleiades (but further west) stood still but shining on and off. At first I thought it may have been related to early New Year's celebrations, but there were no noises, no fireworks at all. I ran into the house to get my wife and three of my children. All of them saw the strange sight, but did not give it much importance. I ran into the house a second time to get my binoculars, and remained focused on the bright light for a few minutes. The light then started moving for the first time, and disappeared, turning white. Even my children could see it fading with the naked eye. There is no way that this could have been a plane, or a satellite, or a helicopter. It was stationary for too long, and then disappeared too fast, turning white as it faded. This is the first time that I have seen such a strange object. Despite being New Year's Eve, I have to add that I have not had a drop to drink, and neither have the rest of my family! After I wrote the above, my children called me, just before midnight (Santiago time) to report that the light was back! We all rushed outside, and just before the official midnight fireworks, there was the bright orange-red light again, in the same place! At about 24:05 Santiago time (22:05 EST time), the red-orange light started fading again, turning white at the end, as before. This was not in the place of the fireworks, and was completely unrelated.

Red, Green and Yellow lights over the Pacific in Constitucion, CHILE.

This was my first sighting, I was travelling in my car and just out of curiousity I pulled the car onto the side road facing the ocean which there were strange lights hovering over the horizon, they were red, green, yellow and white lights moving in all different directions. We observed these lights for over a span of 10 to 15 minutes, I happened to look up into the night sky and saw more than a couple of stars move, like when you see falling stars, except that these did perfect circular movements and just disappear afterwards. After witnessing this we noticed that over the horizon of the pacific, quickly a kind of mist or clouds covered these lights and we could no longer see them. After getting to our destination, as we got out of the car and as I looked up into the night sky, I saw behind the hills a kind of lightning or flash, this was on a clear starry night.

Previously, the day before this, it was around midday. It was a clear blue sky day, I saw a metallic object cross the sky, it looked like it was far since it was just a small dot, it was round and metallic, the speed of this craft was quite normal and just eased it's way across. From these sightings I was told that this area in Chile, Constitucion, there are quite alot of sightings and it's very common to see events like this. Since then I have not gone back, every night I look up and hope to find something interesting.

1998.12.10.-21.30 horas. Desde el cenit, 10 grados al Este, sobre Santiago, vi un puro luminoso blanco con un borde dorado, aproximadamente a unos 8 kilometros de distancia. Creo que tenia unos 64 metros de largo por unos veinte de ancho, y despues del avistamiento estuve tres dias con una mancha en la vista, producto de los rayos que emitio ese objeto, al que vi solo por unos dos segundos: menos mal que fueron dos segundos, o quedo con los ojos quemados. Era muy brillante, como aviso neon, pero de un centimetro de largo por la distancia. Nunca habia visto algo asi. Despues de 5 minutos aparecio un avion monomotor a helice de la FF AA y patrullo el area por media hora, con todas sus luces encendidas y girando una y otra vez por este sector norte de Santiago de Chile, a mucha menor altura. Ademas ,a los diez minutos de haber visto esa luz, comenzaron a pasar satelites artificiales por el sector,en cantidad de 14, cosa inusual, ya que al dia siguiente a esa misma hora pasaron dos, y despues he seguido mirando y no pasa ni uno !

Estabamos con un amigo en el interior de nuestra carpa, contando chistes y hablando de cualquier cosa, cuando de repente una gran luz acompañada de un sumbido ilumino todo el interior de nuestra carpa. Quedamos inmoviles, sin habla, muertos de miedo, ya que en el lugar que estabamos era imposible ver algo asi. Ahora, el supuesto ovni no lo vimos, pero fue algo que no comentamos mas hasta el dia de hoy. Al otro dia, al bajar hacia Coya por un rio, encontramos a una persona que creimos que estaba muerta en el rio, no nos quisimos acercar, nos dio miedo y al llegar a Rancagua dimos aviso a carabineros. Al otro dia aparecio en las noticias(tvn red ohiggins), que habian encontrado carabineros a una persona que buscaban hace tres meses. Mas informacion no tengo , es todo lo que se. Mi nombre es((Nombre delteted)), estudio Ingenieria comercial en la Universidad de Concepcion, Concepcion,Chile.

Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Santiago (Chile), , Chile

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

A light went up into the sky, hoovered around for awhile, changed color, and moved around. The light was bright red and eventually faded.

I was sitting on the balcony of the apartment. I was looking up into the sky and observed, at first, what I thought might be a flare or a rocket. But the object was travelling upwards. I got my video camera to tape the object. The object changed from a bright white to a very red color. I zoomed in and out to get some reference as to the relative location of the object. It travelled upward and then seemed to hoover. I taped it moving around in a small area bounded by some stars or planets. There was no noise or any other phenomena associted with the event. I was certain that the object was some type of UFO. The video tape is not as clear as what I witnessed, but the object and stars are visible. I tried to make a copy of the video, but the copy quality was not good. I still have the original video tape and would make it available for reproduction.

UFO Santiage, Chile 1989

At first the object appeared to go up like a rocket, but then slowed down. I watched it for awhile before actually getting my video recorder.

The light went straight up in appearance and seemed to be a rocket. It lasted a seemingly long time. Then it hovered and moved relative to a planet or star. It stayed that way for a long time, just moving slowly and eventually fading out but still moving. It was the middle of the night, summer and hot. The air was calm. I looked out to the west and nearly straight up as that is the only direction the light travelled.

I recorded 3 minutes of the light as it moved relative to a planet or start. I have video available.

Mass sighting of a shiny metallic sphere

The event occured when I was a child. I came out of my home with my mother to visit my aunt up the street. As we stepped out of the house, we noticed right away in the north sky (direction we were walking towards) a static shiny metallic silver sphere. It was a clear, sunny day so that this object seemed out of place and as a result there were lots of people on the street pointing and gazing at this object. My mother and I did not stop walking, and on the way to my aunt's house, my mother ran into a friend, who was also looking at this strange object. He happened to have a pair of binoculars, and my mother took a look, and so did I. No more details of the object could be discerned through the binoculars, though it seemed to give certain off colours as light reflected off it, kind of like a disco ball. Now, after a half hour of looking at this seemingly still object, we went over to my aunt's house. We walked back home later on that night, and the object was no longer visible. I had been thinking about this object all day and later on that night we saw a news report on it on TV. Apparently the same object had been and filmed not only in my home city of Valparaiso, but also in Santiago, Punta Arenas, Buenos Aires and other cities and towns in Chile and Argentina all within one day. They showed clip of the object, which looked the same as the one I had witnessed. It was said on the news that it was not a weather balloon as many that had seen the object suspected, and that it had been witnessed by thousands of people. Nothing else was made of this event, and I never heard of it again. Even though I was a child at the time, I can still remember the object looming in the north sky, and I'm sure that it could not have been explained by any natural phenomenon.

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects, Changed Colo

First: One Object, Second: Few colorfull objects, Final: Again One object

Returning from a trip, we were near Santiago (a the east): Suddenly we saw a object looking to the west. It was a little white but brilliant point. It moved fast great distances (about 2 kilometers) to the north, south and again to the original position, maintaining the altitude. Suddenly it exploded showing a lot of coloful lights (red, blue, yellow dots). Some minutes after that it was again only one object like at first. The sight was at night so the light were well seen. The distance between us and the object was maybe approx. 5 to 10 kilometers. At the end the object appeared to flight towards us, so all of us were exited and more or less frightened. Finally the object made a fast change of trayectory and dissapeared.

Shocking experience in north Chilean Desert "The Sphere"

One sphere,size of a house,moving slowly west to east crossing the road,at an estimated distance from our car 200 yards and not to high 50 -70 yards. We where in the midle of the desert returning from Tacna the border of Peru to Arica the city we use to live. the most amazing thing was that the sphere was changing colors from blue to green,to red yellow and the colors where moving on the sphere like floating on its surface and giving a look of a gaseoous and solid object at the same time.Look like liquid metal. We saw it disapear slowly to the east and after that we start the car without saying word at least for 15 minutes after the observation,there wasn't anything to say it was an extreme shocking experience.
