So, the Chilean Navy has some strange footage, probably corresponding to some other country's secret aircraft, and they... get it published on Ars Technica and invite the literally-schizophrenic "UFO" community to take a look at it?

Where does it say that they went to Ars Technica? They published a press release [1]. [1] http://www.cefaa.gob.cl/home/en-la-prensa/noticias/casoarmada http://www.cefaa.gob.cl/home/en-la-prensa/noticias/casoarmad...

My immediate thoughts exactly (minus the schizo ad hom). Are militaries of the world so careless as to advertise their capabilities and equipments? FLIR Thermografie Kamera FLIR SC8000 Quantendetektor: https://youtu.be/doQGWcHTCG8 https://youtu.be/doQGWcHTCG8 Curious. FLIR demo video shows the (usual) color thermal imaging and the OP has grayscale output. http://www.flir.com/assets/0/6618/6729/6733/6740//9e20a2b4-4622-4402-bfd8-63c0918b47ad.jpg http://www.flir.com/assets/0/6618/6729/6733/6740//9e20a2b4-4...

If you don't have the resources as a country to investigate on your own, why not get an article published? I get the feeling information gathering in the internet / social media age is going to mess with the minds of a lot of people (and probably give some a bit of trouble).

I have a feeling that they know that this is a secret military spycraft, and this is a diplomatic way for them to thumb their noses at China, Russia, or the US and say "nanananabooboo, we see you!"
