Because many fake UFO photos are submitted by Americans, UFO Sightings Daily editor Scott Waring believes a video clip provided by a Costa Rican has slim chances of being the product of computer enhancement techniques.
Chron notes that the UFO initially look like a photography drone which the submitter spotted on March 22. However, the Costa Rican submitted it to the Mutual UFO Network on Aug. 29. The unidentified object looked like a manta ray with no visible propellers.
The UFO was spotted near Ciudad Colon. The submitted said the craft was visible for 11 minutes. The witness said even if the UFO was spotted on a bright morning, the sunlight was not reflected on the object.
Meanwhile, in Australia's Gold Coast, a series of alleged UFO sightings were made over the weekend above Varsity Lakes. Herald Sun reports that Tarina Callanan, a local, spotted lights over her house which she described as "out of this world."
"Its colour changed from green to yellow and finally to red and my housemate and I saw what looked like a plane going down and waited for news of a plane crash but nothing came," she recalls. Callanan went back to her house and returned to outside her house. When she looked up in the sky, she saw smoke and then the light became as bright as an evening star which flashed again and then disappeared.
However, the Gold Coast Airport, Airservices Australia and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) did not receive any reports of unusual activity within local airspace. But the CASA ruled out drones which are not allowed to fly at night.
UFO Research Queensland will look into the UFO sighting, said group president Sheryl Gottschall who notes a lot of reports of sighting across Queensland the past few weeks. One of the sighting was at Banora Point on the New South Wales border.
