The Aguadilla incident is a key example of a trans-medium UAP, an object observed moving seamlessly between air and water, captured on official government thermal imaging.
What does the Aguadilla video show?
On April 25, 2013, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection DHC-8 surveillance aircraft recorded a thermal video near Rafael Hernández Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The footage shows a small object flying low over terrain and the ocean, then descending into the water without slowing and re-emerging. At one point the object appears to briefly split into two.
Who analyzed the footage?
The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) obtained the video and published a detailed technical report estimating the object's speed and its transitions between air and water, concluding the motion was difficult to reconcile with known craft, birds, or balloons.
Why is the Aguadilla case significant?
It is one of the clearest publicly available examples of trans-medium behavior recorded by a government sensor, central to discussions of UAP capabilities.
