The outstanding UFO image researcher Bruce Maccabee is now interested in the case of the couple of photos I got in the summer in southern Chile. He pointed out that in order for the apparent cloud to have moved, in just 4 seconds as certified by www.cefaa.cl there should have been a "strong wind in height". The CEFAA attributed the movement detected in the clouds (in only 4 seconds between photos), to the prevailing wind. And the weather forecast from three sources I sent you, does not announce any wind ... I think I will finally have a complete study of the images, which I do not have the capacity or the experience to do. I thought exactly the same, but it is different if this is pointed out by him. Despite the analytical capacity of CEFAA, in my academic record there is a course in meteorology and another in photogrammetry, so I know something about clouds and image interpretation (and climate). I think that in these matters I take the lead to CEFAA ... But it has been thanks to the report of CEFAA I think, that now Bruce is interested in the case since he considered the images as "very interesting" ... I will be informing you here!

We will await the conclusions.

I have wondered why we don't get reports from the Atacama Desert region of Chile. One would expect the high - tech astronomy equipment that is out there perched on top of a mountain to attract some attention from any visiting Aliens. HAL Just reading through this thread, ( hello everyone again btw) and I may be able shed some light on this question as an astronomer and astrophotographer ....... when we are tucked up in our observatories we very rarely ( if ever ) look through our scopes.... We point them using computers and then command the camera attached to them to take shots, again with the computer..... All we see is what appears on the screen. in order to take detailed shots we take long exposures so sometimes things fly through the exposure, satellites etc and they show on the image as a line of light..... the main reason we don't see ufo's and the like is that the scopes we use are only focused on a very tiny part of the sky and the bigger the scope the smaller the part of sky. For instance, if I was looking through my scope and the iss flew straight bang through the centre of my view, I wouldn't see it ....it would happen so fast as it is a lot closer to me then the stars I'm focusing on. I take my hat of to anyone who manages to capture the iss through a scope as it moves so fast at high magnifications, for reference if using a scope with a field of view to fit the whole full moon in the view it takes less than a second for the iss to cross the face of the moon!! basically what I am saying is that a mothership of a ufo could hover over my observatory for an hour or so whilst I'm 'astronomolising' and I wouldn't have a clue !!

Deano,
I wasn't specifically wondering why astronomers in the region don't report more. And I do understand completely what you are describing.
I was wondering why the people in general in a region with clear skies don't report seeing more things. Ordinary people who just happen to be out at night.
HAL.

The comments and concepts are appreciated, this is very useful to give a response to the general public about it.

HAL: the problem is not rooted in the lack of observations, but in the lack of reports of ufologists who are "field" that is to say they leave their offices, leaving their desks and morning TV programs to search "the face-to-face phenomenon". This does not exist in Chile at the level of known ufologists, but at the level of independent researchers who have little expertise in entering the Internet and require support. I tell you that everywhere you ask the people of the place, there are UFO testimonies throughout the country (preferably in the foothills and coastal area). In Chile there is a lack of a network of researchers like those that exist in Argentina, here each one investigates on their own as far as they can ...
