- SANTIAGO, Chile - The former
Chilean Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jorge Martinez declared that
"UFOs are real". The ex-CNO made the shocking statement during
an interview with a Chilean television network. The interview was conducted
by journalist Rodrigo Ugarte from Teletrece, in Chile. The retired admiral
admitted that he personally witnessed the sighting of two UFOs at sea.
-
- According to Admiral Martinez, when he was a young lieutenant,
he personally saw a very luminous white object in front of his patrol boat.
When he took command of his first destroyer, then Captain Martinez saw
another similar object emerging from the water, creating a strong interference
with the navigation system and the ship's radar.
-
- Guillermo Jimenez, another former Chilean officer claimed
that the sonar system onboard his ship detected two submarine-like objects
that caused similar malfunctions with shipboard electronics. "They
displayed the same size and metallic resonant characteristics that ordinary
subs typically show; however, these objects were too fast to be submarines",
said Jimenez.
-
- Both Jimenez and Martinez described how the gyrocompass
systems were out of control. "The radar displays went completely blank
and the gyro was spinning very rapidly, as if a strong magnetic force was
present", said Admiral Martinez.
-
- Some UFO investigators call this phenomenon "UUO"
or unidentified underwater objects. Upon learning about this special report,
we contacted the Chilean journalist that conducted the interviews. Rodrigo
Ugarte, the Teletrece interviewer told us that there were many other officers
that described similar events but did not want to go on the air with their
accounts. Nevertheless, this is the first time a former Chief of Naval
Operations reveals that these phenomena are real.
