A group of tourists undertaking a catamaran excursion through the Beagle Channel in Ushuaia claimed to have captured images of an unidentified flying object (UFO) soaring in the sky. The photographs show a round, metallic, bronze-colored object floating over the waters of the channel, which sparked intense debate on social media.
One possibility is that the supposed UFO was actually a visual illusion caused by an insect that intervened between the camera and the landscape, resulting in a moving oval shape. The theory that it could be an austral dolphin, capable of jumping up to two meters out of the water, was also mentioned, which could explain the reflection and positioning of the object in the photos.
UFO researcher Luis Burgos, head of the Argentine Foundation of Ufology (FAO), suggested both possibilities and pointed out that in the era of Artificial Intelligence and Photoshop, it is important to maintain a certain skepticism. Burgos highlighted that the images show relatively close objects that stand out from common photos, and noted that the reflection of the object in the photos is a detail that detracts from the phenomenon's credibility.
Despite the speculations from some users who suggested it could be a craft of unknown origin, Burgos chooses to analyze each case separately and reminds that a false case does not mean that all phenomena in Patagonia are. The expert mentioned that the mystery remains open as the photographs continue to generate curiosity and skepticism, since the figure in question appears in different positions in various shots, suggesting it could be a physical object, thus eliminating the possibility of a defect in the image or an optical phenomenon.
In summary, the case of the supposed UFO in the Beagle Channel has not yet been resolved and continues to generate interest and debate in the community.
