Quote from the article (translated by Google

“On November 11, 2014, a helicopter from the
Chilean Navy (Airbus Cougar AS-532), equipped with an infrared FLIR
high-definition camera, was patrolling in the coastal sector between the port
of San Antonio and Quinteros a At 16.48 UTC, when the camera operator detected
an unknown object, apparently flying at a constant speed similar to that of the
helicopter, and moving forward.
The sighting was visually confirmed by the two
officers who made up the crew (pilot and camera operator) and lasted more than
10 minutes.
Officers questioned Air Traffic Control whose radar
failed to detect the object.
They also received no response from the unknown
traffic when trying to interrogate it in the frequency prepared for these
cases.
The DGAC’s radar control system failed to capture the
object but confirmed, in turn, the absence of authorized traffic in the
vicinity of the helicopter.
On two occasions, the object seems to throw a trail of
some element that could not be specified.”
