The Aguadilla Incident and AARO's Findings

  • 🛸 The 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico UAP sighting involved a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) aircraft using FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) to detect an unidentified object.
  • 🎯 AARO, the Pentagon's UAP investigation office, recently concluded the object was two sky lanterns and never entered the water, a finding disputed by experts.
  • 🧐 Filmmaker Darcy Weir and infrared expert Dave Falch argue that AARO's explanation is flawed and does not align with the available data.

Anomalous Characteristics of the Object

  • ✈️ The object was tracked for nearly four minutes by an expensive FLIR camera system, providing substantial data unlike shorter UAP clips.
  • 🌊 The object appeared to enter the ocean without slowing down and later split into two, behaviors inconsistent with conventional explanations.
  • 🚫 Weir and Falch assert that sky lanterns or balloons would exhibit different thermal signatures and flight patterns, especially in varying environments like air and water.

Critiquing AARO's Debunking

  • 🔥 Falch, an infrared expert, states that sky lanterns have a distinct heat source (a burner) that would be visible on infrared, which was not observed in the Aguadilla footage.
  • 💡 The claim that the object's color temperature matched the ocean, causing it to vanish, is questioned, as a flame within a sky lantern should be hotter than the sea.
  • 🗣️ Multiple government agencies have offered conflicting explanations for the Aguadilla object, including sky lanterns, balloons, and even birds, suggesting a lack of a unified, credible debunking.

Puerto Rico: A UAP Hotspot

  • 🏝️ Darcy Weir's film investigates numerous UAP and USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) sightings around Puerto Rico, suggesting the island is a hub for anomalous phenomena.
  • 🎣 Local fishermen have reported seeing objects entering and exiting the water, with some ceasing to fish in certain areas due to fear of these sightings.
  • 🌊 Reports include fishermen recording blue lights and a semi-humanoid figure moving through the water, which Weir notes lacks the expected bubble trails of a scuba diver.

Broader Implications and Ongoing Research

  • 🔒 The leak of the Aguadilla footage led to a crackdown by the FBI, suggesting government agencies were embarrassed by the apparent anomalous nature of the object.
  • 🗺️ Puerto Rico's location within the Bermuda Triangle and its deep ocean trenches are highlighted as potential areas for transmedium UAP activity.
  • 🔍 Weir and Falch emphasize the need for continued scientific scrutiny of UAP cases, particularly those that official bodies attempt to quickly dismiss.
