In 2010, in Chile, a family, while on a picnic in the Andes, took an unusual photo, which still remains a mystery. In the picture taken during the day, it looks as if a huge glowing orange object hovers above them, hidden behind clouds. This picture attracted the attention of experts from the National Center for Aviation Reports on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) and attracted the attention of UFO researchers.

It happened on February 14, 2010, when a married couple and their one-year-old daughter spent a day at the El Eso reservoir. Impressed by the beauty of nature, they took 16 photos of the valley and the sky. However, an amazing thing happened later when the mother of the family found something strange in one of the photos - a glowing orange object that seemed abnormal to her.

The surveillance was handed over to the Chilean government, which in turn shared the photo with NARCAP. This organization, specializing in the study of unidentified aviation phenomena, conducted a thorough analysis of the image and published a 23-page report in July 2010.

The head of NARCAP, Ted Rowe, said that this object is an "unidentified aerial object", leaving many perplexed. However, the case was quickly closed and the report was quietly frozen.

This photo was remembered 13 years later thanks to the documentary "The Proof is Out There", in which researchers tried to solve this riddle. In this popular science series, experts analyze videos and images of strange observations, including a photo from the Andes.

Astronomer and video effects designer Marc de Antonio offered one explanation. He claims that the strange formation in the photo could be the result of a prism effect caused by the sun, which hits ice crystals in the atmosphere and creates unusual rainbow phenomena. However, despite this explanation, meteorologist Juan Hernandez and physicist Matthew Shidagis support the conclusion of the NARCAP report that the object remains unidentified.

The host of the program "There is proof" Tony Harris notes that "unidentified" does not necessarily mean an alien origin. This means that the mystery remains unsolved, and researchers continue to approach the truth. Perhaps the answers to this riddle will be discovered in the future, when science and technology move further in their development.

Original news

A giant UFO pictured over Chile in 2010 has been described as genuinely unidentified by alien hunters.

The image appeared to show a glowing orange object hidden behind the clouds and was taken by a family picnicking in the Andes Mountains in 2010.

The National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) investigated the sighting the same year, but scientists are reopening the case as part of a new documentary that attempts to prove or debunk strange phenomena. 

An expert in physics from the University at Albany said: 'This object is truly unidentified, so it is a genuine UFO.'

The image was taken during the day on a Sunday, which shows the sun shining through white clouds and a band of reddish clouds to the left, encasing a glowing 'solid' orange object with 'interesting surface details,' according to the NARCAP report.

The image's story dates back to February 14, 2010, when a couple and their one-year-old daughter spent the day at the El Yeso Reservoir.

The mother snapped 16 photos of the stunning valley and sky above, and upon returning home, she noticed the reddish clouds with the object.

The Chilean government shared the photo with NARCAP, an advisory of aviation professionals investigating UPAs and aviation safety.

Ted Roe, head of the organization, conducted a lengthy analysis of the image, publishing a 23-page report on July 2, 2010.

Roe was featured on 'The Proof is Out There' where he said: 'This study resolves that this is in fact an external anomaly.

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").
