A video uploaded by  La Tercera,  Chile’s largest daily newspaper, containing several clips of audio communications between pilots and air traffic controllers released by the Chilean government’s Committee for the Study of Aerial Anomalous Phenomena (Spanish acronym CEFAA), was recently picked up by several American and international UFO websites. The material was actually released back in late  January 2011 by CEFAA under the Transparency Law and the full audio communications of four UFO cases were posted in  CEFAA’s own website  shortly thereafter.

I outlined the history and background of CEFAA in the  current issue of Open Minds magazine in the article “South American Governments Open New Official UFO Agencies,” which also covers the Uruguayan Air Force project CRIDOVNI and Peru’s OIFAA. A second part covering the recent launching of the Argentinean Air Force commission CEFAE and the official studies undertaken in Brazil and Ecuador will be published in the next issue of Open Minds. It looks like most of South America is currently taking a very proactive official and publicly open effort to tackle UFOs.

The tape from La Tercera is a bit confusing since the cases are not titled or dated, and so I had to figure it out based on my own first-hand knowledge of Chilean ufology. I also contacted by email Gustavo Rodríguez, a retired air traffic controller (ATC) who is CEFAA’s Executive Secretary, to clarify some details. I’ve known Mr. Rodríguez for several years and I interviewed him once at length in the late 1990s during a trip to Santiago.
