So, the Chilean Navy has some strange footage, probably corresponding to some other country's secret aircraft, and they... get it published on Ars Technica and invite the literally-schizophrenic "UFO" community to take a look at it?

Where does it say that they went to Ars Technica? They published a press release [1].

I have a feeling that they know that this is a secret military spycraft, and this is a diplomatic way for them to thumb their noses at China, Russia, or the US and say "nanananabooboo, we see you!"

My immediate thoughts exactly (minus the schizo ad hom).

Are militaries of the world so careless as to advertise their capabilities and equipments?

Curious. FLIR demo video shows the (usual) color thermal imaging and the OP has grayscale output.

If you don't have the resources as a country to investigate on your own, why not get an article published? I get the feeling information gathering in the internet / social media age is going to mess with the minds of a lot of people (and probably give some a bit of trouble).
