- Talk of tornadoes, fallen satellites and saucer
crashes...
-
- The forest woke up on the ground. That simple, that
strange.
All of the trees occupying a space equivalent to a city block in that
forest
near Ushuaia had been uprooted, piled from north to south as if pointing
toward the same location. Of course, speculation on what could have caused
the strange phenomenon commenced immediately, according to
INFOBAE.com
-
- According to the first explorers to reach the site, it
seemed as if an aircraft had collided, with the exception that there was
no fuselage lost among the branches. Locals told of having seen fireballs
plunging from the sky days earlier, which--according to them--could have
been the answer to the mystery. But none of the trees is burned.
-
- In the northern part of the now-mysterious site, the
tree trunks had been severed at a height of six to seven meters, which
validated for several witnesses the theory that the impact had been
something--meteorite,
UFO, satellite-- falling from the sky.
-
- The Centro Austral de Investigaciones Cientificas tried
to appease the excitement saying it could have been a volteo (overturning),
in other words, "a kind of tornado that uproots trees," according
to the explanation given by Rogelio Acevedo. But Acevedo acknowledged that
research must go on, since the winds in the area weren't strong enough
to uproot the trees.
