Into the sea? Two "UFOs that dive into the ocean": one solved, one not

Two "UFOs that dive into the ocean" in the Pentagon files.

One got solved. One didn't. Same camera trick? šŸ‘€

Puerto Rico 2013 vs DOW-UAP-PR067 šŸ§µ

Puerto Rico, 2013. A border-patrol plane's thermal camera films a hot blob racing over an airport, "splitting" in two and vanishing into the Atlantic.

The internet: transmedium UFO!

AARO rebuilt the flight in 3D. Two objects, ~650 ft up, drifting at ~8 mph with a 9.8 mph wind. They "did not enter the water" and "remained over land throughout the video".

Best fit: a pair of sky lanterns.

So why do they vanish? A thermal camera can't see into water: water absorbs infrared within a fraction of a millimetre. Filmed 94 min after sunset, the lanterns' heat matched the background and they dropped out of the picture.

Bonus: the "3 FT" on screen isn't the object's height. It's where the camera's line of sight hits the sea. The object is somewhere along that line, and parallax from the moving plane makes it look like it's skimming the water.

Now DOW-UAP-PR067, 2022. Uploader's title: "Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub ... in and out of water". AARO's notes say the objects "enter" and "leave the field of view". The word "water"? Not once.

Still unresolved.

Puerto Rico, 2013: the "UFO that dove into the Atlantic"

Black-hot IR (dark = hot). Tracked at the crosshair from 2:04; at 2:05.5 it shrinks and by 2:06 it is gone from the whole frame. No splash, no wake. The HUD's "TGT ā€¦ 3FT" is the height of the point where the line of sight meets the surface, not the object's altitude.

AARO's case resolution: two lanterns, over land

"The objects did not enter the water. Rather, the sensor could not distinguish the objects from their environment due to a lack of thermal contrast between them and the ocean." (p.5) "The objects remained over land throughout the video." (p.3) Drift ~3.6 m/s (8 mph) vs wind 4.4 m/s (9.8 mph) (p.3); assessed altitude 656 ft (p.1); sunset 7:48 p.m., recorded 9:22 p.m., thermal crossover window (p.6). "Moderate confidence that the objects were a pair of sky lanterns." (p.1)

2022: "Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub ā€¦ in and out of water"

White-hot IR near a surfaced submarine. A bright speck enters at 0:49, glides across, and by 0:55 has faded into the waves. AARO's own description lists objects entering and leaving the field of view; it never says they enter the water. Officially unresolved.
