Declassified UAP Video from 2013: Eight-Pointed Infrared Object Probably a Parachute Illumination Flare; Case Remains Unresolved
To the point
The declassified 2013 UAP footage is most plausibly a military parachute illumination flare rather than extraterrestrial craft, and officials say none of the thousands of reviewed cases shows evidence of alien life or tech, with most sightings explained by drones, weather balloons, sensor glitches, or military pyrotechnics, while the PURSUE declassification effort aims to increase transparency despite lingering uncertainties.
