Over a decade ago, a family from Chile saw an unidentified flying object (UFO). They panicked at the unexplainable sight, and an expert claimed that they were "getting closer" to the truth behind the said incident.

Sighting Is Indeed A UFO

On Feb. 14, 2010, a mother, father, and their 1-year-old daughter were on a trip to the El Yeso Reservoir when they purportedly saw an eerie aerial occurrence. An unidentifiable object over 200 feet long that emits orange light from behind the clouds is depicted in the witness-captured image. The Andes Mountains are where the sighting is said to have occurred.

The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), which conducted the study, believes the images obtained in broad daylight are accurate.

According to a report, a University of Albany physics expert believes the item is a "genuine UFO" because it is "truly unidentified."

The UAP case 2010 is being reviewed for documentary, and experts think the inquiry could shed light on the mysterious sighting. Even though the first investigation came to a halt, the in-depth examination of the object in the photograph led to NARCAP's chief determining that it was, in fact, an "external anomaly."

Ted Roe, executive director of NARCAP, stated that they were left with an inexplicable aerial phenomenon because it doesn't seem to have been added to the photo. Experts today have provided a similar response to the recently reopened case. They are hopeful that the alleged sighting in Chile would bring them one step closer to learning more about extraterrestrial life.

"The Proof Is Out There" host Tony Harris said many things can be explained, and their program does the job by removing the absurd claims. He believed they were closer to what they were looking for by examining the UAP sighting in the Andes, and the conclusion that it was a UFO was a "ding ding" moment.

UFO Doesn't Confirm Aliens

Although experts think the Chilean UAP sighting was probably authentic, they can't say for sure that aliens or extraterrestrial life were involved.

Juan Hernandez, a meteorologist, noted that although he was not a specialist in photography, it didn't seem like they were seeing a camera artifact effect. Even though it is midday, a setting sun would be the most likely cause of any crimson tinge in a cloud.

He agreed with the NARCAP report's conclusion that the item is genuinely unidentified, meaning it is a real UFO. Tony, however, clarified that this does not imply that the studies have established the existence of aliens in the UFO.

"It means just what it says 'undefined,'" he stressed.

Everyone is thrilled to find evidence of extraterrestrials. In September, an Israeli mentalist released photos believed to be aliens in a basement in Mexico. Uri Gelle shared naked photos of a purported alien on social media and noted that the shots were "probably real." The snaps were from writer Whitley Strieber, who famously claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1985.

Meanwhile, Amazon is offering $1 million to anyone who can provide them solid evidence of aliens using its Ring camera. The challenge is open to all U.S. citizens of legal age, and submission of entries is open until Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. ET. A space and extraterrestrial expert will reportedly review the proposals.
