The Chilean Navy released a video taken by a Navy helicopter in 2014 that depicts a craft with "two thermal spotlight-like discharges" flying at 4,500 feet. UFO skeptic Mick West has explained this to be flight LA330, a Boeing C-40 Clipper, operated by commercial airline LATAM. There is not universal agreement on this explanation.

Mick West, renowned UFO skeptic and debunker, created a one minute "Metabunk Minute" video that explained that the UFO was flight LA330 - a LATAM commercial flight. He recreated the infrared shots with a primitive scale model of a C-40 aircraft like the one flown by LATAM, and researched flight paths and times to conclude with a simple, earthly explanation.

However, Twitter user Omega Click Official, who claims to represent "the largest UAP community in Italy" asserts that newly released documents from the Chilean Navy refute West's explanation. The Black Vault, a website that documents and analyzes UFOs, paranormal activity and FOIA requests, states, "The Black Vault holds no view on what the object is."[1]
