[This interesting case again shows the depletion of water tanks by
unknown forces – a constant in Argentinean UFO cases since the
cattle mutilation wave of 2002 and the research into the mysterious
draining of water from swimming pools and ponds conducted by Quique
Mario since the early 2000s in Santa Rosa, Argentina – SC]Argentina:
Alleged UFO in Entre Rios By Norberto Puntonet/ La capital
A farmer from Rosario who visited a farm in the Province of Entre
Rios claimed having seen a UFO while in the company of both his son
and the owner of the “El Rancho” rural facility. The curious
event took place last Saturday some 23 kilometers from the town of
Federal and some 400 km from Rosario.
This is not the first time the witness has seen a UFO, although he
acknowledges that this time he was “very scared.” The
man, who asked to be kept anonymous, has a potato stand at the Mercado
de Concentración in Fisherton and when he has time, he visits
a friend who owns a field in Entre Rios. Luis, a native of General
Lagos, told La Capital: “I travel frequently to Entre Rios because
of my job and I made great friends. This is the fourth time that I’ve
seen strange lights in the skies over Entre Rios, but never so close
by. To clear my head a little, I went to “El Rancho” this
weekend with my son Guillermo. What we both saw, along with the field’s
owner, left us stunned,” he admits.
Luis added that as they took some things out of their truck, the saw
a light approaching in the distance. “It was nine o’clock
at night and we were taking some things out of truck to go into town
for fuel. We saw a light approaching us and we told the owner of the
property, whose name is Guillermo Jorjato, if he was waiting for someone.
He said no. The light was coming through the middle of the field and
not along the road. We stood there watching, to see what it was.”
“Some 300 meters away from us was a windmill and an “Australian”
water tank with a capacity of 125,000 liters. When the light reached
the tank, it rose and remained suspended overhead. We could clearly
see that it was a vessel shaped like an inverted platter. It was twice
the size of the tank. I figure some 25 or 30 meters. It had red, green
and gray lights that rotated but made no sound. My son wanted to run
into the house for a shotgun to fire at the vessel, but I stopped
him. What good was such a weapon against that display of technology?”
At that time, the property owner told Luis that he had never seen
lights nor anything similar, but that he had on several occasions
found the tank empty overnight, without finding traces of tire tracks
or any water spilled in the vicinity. “After a brief while suspended
over the tank, the device went straight up at an impressive rate of
speed. We only heard a slight sound, but a sound of friction, not
of a motor, like a prolonged “Z” sound. When it reached
a certain altitude that I cannot imagine, two small explosions were
heard, like rockets. I suppose this happens when the sound barrier
is broken,” he reflects.
“The next day we went to see the tank. It was full of water.
We don’t know why they didn’t take the water this time.
They must’ve read my son’s mind and felt afraid!”
Luis said ironically, although he admits to having “trembled
like a leaf” at the moment.

Uruguay: An "Imp" Over Nueva Palmira

Uruguay: An “Imp” Over Nueva Palmira
COLONIA – It is the talk of the town in Nueva Palmira. Several
local residents claim having seen an imp or an alien – opinions
vary – over an electric power line. After repeated complaints,
police officers and agents of the local Prefecture visited the site.
[Witnesses] claim it measured 25 centimeters. It arrived flying and
and would move around, bothered by flashlight beams
A colorful imp appeared in Nueva Palmira this weekend, suspended over
a high voltage line leading to the port. The phenomenon was reported
by several locals, who saw the phenomenon moving some four feet over
the surface of the wire. Police and Prefecture personnel visited the
area. The [figure] shrank until it vanished around four in the morning.
The phenomenon has caused a sensation in Nueva Palmira, after word
spread that an alleged “imp” or extraterrestrial being
had arrived, flying, to the corner of Calle Ultramar in the general
direction of the port zone.
This is how journalist Roberto Tatto told the story on Tuesday on
Nueva Palmira’s Cono Sur radio station, and how it was repeated
to LA REPUBLICA, according to eyewitness accounts. “The event
occurred last Saturday night at the traffic distributor that leads
to the port,” he explained. “A shop owner came outside
and saw a light. He was startled to see it at a given altitude. It
remained suspended from one of the wires. He summoned his wife and
some of his shop’s patrons to come out for a look. They approached
and saw from below that the figure changed colors. It had the shape
of a doll. They pointed a flashlight at it, and it started to move
around, as if bothered by the light. It was a 25 centimeter long “doll”
moving over the cable. Later on, the Police arrived with high powered
beams and it began moving more, as if becoming nervous. It moved its
head and shuddered.”
According to this story, the phenomenon was witnessed by several locals,
who according to the fellow journalist “ were afraid to come
any closer, because (the being) seemed be annoyed by the beams”
as it stood over the high-voltage wires.
Hours went by and efforts were made to photograph with a cellphone,
“but we later saw that it didn’t come out right,”
they explained. The phenomenon lasted until around 4:00 a.m., when
the figure contracted slowly until it vanished. A pearl-colored “goo”
was left behind as the only tangible evidence, the local journalist
told La Republica. He claims that the eyewitness accounts hint at
something with characteristics that were “less than mundane.”
Discussion over whether it was an “imp” or an extraterrestrial
manifestation continues to dominate the daily agenda among the residents
of Nueva Palmira.

Chile: Thoughts on the First UFO Summit Conference
Thoughts on the “First UFO Summit Conference”
in Santiago de Chile
By NOUFA – CHILE (Newsroom)
Several photographs have been submitted to our newsroom, such as the
ones we show you here. They are from the “First UFO Summit Conference”
held on May 29th (2010) at a major hotel in Santiago de Chile. These
photos show the presenters – including some major foreign guests
– whose number almost matched that of the attendees to the event.
Were these photos taken during a coffee break? Have these images been
sent maliciously?
These photos should serve as a cause for deep meditation. What really
happened? Our purpose is to report on UFO matters with the truth at
the foremost, and to say that on many occasions, what is exported
and reported to people is a false image. The harsh reality that Chilean
ufology is different cannot be denied. Moreover when it is linked
with commercial and tourist interests and the prices, furthermore,
are outrageous for the average Chilean.
Serious reflection is called for: Is it only an economic matter as
such? A lack of interest by the public at large? Are we tired of seeing
the same local faces? Do we need new premises when dealing with the
UFO phenomenon? Have we already gone as far as we can go with ufology,
and do we urgently need solid evidence of the phenomenon’s existence?
We would like to believe that the photos we received from this event
were a joke in poor taste, as we feel that efforts related with the
subject of UFOs in this country often slip out of our hands, but this
is what there is, and logically, all we are left with is what comes
out on television and public relations by the usual suspects.
