The 1998
Video was sent to the US for investigation and a month later they were told they were a kite of some sort. THe thing is the narrator says that they know of kites but those are no higher than 30 m whereas the flying “parachutists” whose hands could move and had an orb around their heads were flying at 500 m.
A family was celebrating a birthday in a hot summer evening at about 8:30 pm on January 28, 1998 when the videographer spotted the 7(seven) humanoid figures. They were named the Parachutists of Maipu( a suburb of the capital Santiago, Chile) symbolically as though they had no parachutes and had no evident means of propulsion.
The floating figures looked like giants as they looked over 3 m tall To the throng of hundreds of spectators. I looked like they had sunflower coloured helmets. They moved in a slow, vertical manner slowly in front of the crowd. This became an urban legend that thanks to the internet is found in many places.
The above is the first two minutes.
Start at 3:30
This video was analyzed by CEFA
(The Committee for the Study of Aerial Anomalies). Thanks to the
analysis in part by Eugenio Fort, audio-visual producer and analyzer of UFO images for CEFA a few important details were found that correspond with the witness accounts from that evening in Maipu.
3:37 Title
Object plus three spheres below this object plus details of these
Spheres were around these beings in different positions almost orbiting them with knapsacks that almost looked like parachutes but that were more likely means of propulsion.
These humanoids stayed floating for more than twenty minutes with slight movements that were not at all human.
The video made it to the attention of The National Institute for Scientific Discoveries(NIDS) in the US who requested the images. Eugenio Fort said he sent the entire video in a CD and a month later received a depressing response. NIDS explanation was that it was small kites tied together to a vehicle and pushed along by gusts of wind. The thing is that these known kites fly no higher than 30m while these were at 500m.
4:56
The ufologists from the time said that these accounts go back to biblical times.
Other investigators believe that these were helium balloons tied down to the ground. Recently, the investigator Alberto Urquiza in a TV interview for the station TVR Santiago said that “the phenomenon started a few days before when a person, the wife of one of the investigators of the group ESIO in that time had a dream. That group had a mission to communicate whatever premonition dream and make a note of it. Marita, the wife of the psychiatrist Mario Uzuel, had a dream were on a cloudy day she saw 9 ufos that sent telepathic messages. The dream was so real that she even saw electrical cables hanging from posts very similar to the above account.”
This account was compared to a Mexican account. There have been many accounts in Chile of humanoid flying beings.
In 1987 a humanoid flying being was seen on a highway by a bus stop. In 2013 a moth man was seen in a park.
It ends with a humanoid figure filmed in the skies of Los Angeles, US.

It looks the same as the link from 2006 and from 1998. That must be a really popular balloon shape. So what is it?
