On December 9, 2008 a series of bright lights were seen by hundreds of people over Santiago, Chile. The Chilean Air Force released the following statement on December 12th:

The strange "formation of lights" that was seen a couple of days ago in the skies of Santiago, was finally Pillan 14 aircraft from the School of Aviation Fach practicing the graduation ceremony of officers, attended last night by President Michelle Bachelet. According to the Air Force said Terra.cl, over the weekend the group of aircraft flying over a route from the El Bosque air base to San Bernardo. And though the flight is quite noisy, distance is not possible to capture it, which joined the lamps used in the opportunity for fixed and non-intermittent could have caused the confusion of the people. In fact at the base say that every time you perform this kind of night flights, receiving more than a phone call warning of the presence of foreign objects in the sky or UFOs. The alignment observed by dozens of people and caught on video, was due to the maneuvers performed for the Pillan landing.

This is not the first time these 'lights' have been seen but this is the first time that many people observed the anomalies at one time thus prompting a statement by the Chilean military. The question begs to be asked: Why would these maneuvers be practiced/performed over a heavily populated area in the largest city in Chile? There have also been reports of similar sightings throughout Argentina and Brazil the past 2 years.
