- Man claims seeing lights; says one object was round,
30 mt. in diameter and generated heat.
-
- There is commotion in Macachin and Doblas over the sighting
of UFOs. Ufologist Fabian Romano, member of the Centro de Estudios UFO
en La Pampa (CEUFO) furnished details to this newspaper yesterday regarding
two cases recorded on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, one in Doblas
and another in Potrillo Oscuro.
-
- The first UFO case occurred at approximately 21:00 hours
on Wednesday, November 7 in Bajo de Salinas, located between Kms. 51 and
52 on Provincial Route 18, in the vicinity of Doblas. The main protagonist
of this story is Juan Bautista Menna, a known chiropractic surgeon from
San Nicolas, Province of Buenos Aires, who told his story to several people
minutes later after arriving in Macachin. Later, visibly excited, he contacted
with CEUFO's local representative, to whom he not only retold his experience,
but also asked him to accompany him on a return trip to the sighting location
that very evening, around 23:00 hours. Romano showed this newsroom the
film of strange lights over the area.
-
- Menna, says the ufologist, stated that as he traveled
on Route 18, [his vehicle] apparently experienced a power outage, causing
him to pull over to the roadside. When he tried to get out of the car,
he noticed a powerful source of light above him. "It was over my head,"
he declared. The man claims it was round, some 30 meters in diameter and
gave off intense heat. Menna stated that it was a starry, moonless night.
The object, he added, moved over a lagoon and headed north. Then it decreased
its size and luminous intensity and began engage in a "light show"
with horizontal and vertical swinging movements.
-
- Subsequently, the object moved with a constant luminosity
toward a hill and vanished behind it, although a strong glow indicated
that it remained static. At a given moment, the glow vanished. But suddenly
two cone-shape objects with bases reappeared, issuing intense, intermittent
flashes (lighting up the entire field) to the front and above. These UFOs
headed off toward Santa Rosa (northwest) and went away, turning into a
glow until vanishing.
-
- Menna started his car again and resumed his journey to
Macachin. Shortly after, he noticed a light behind him which he took for
another car. He looked at it through the rear view mirror noticing a strange
maneuver. He stopped again, made a U-turn, and noticed that the light was
intermittent, with a glow that didn't burn. He estimated that this phenomenon
lasted some 40 minutes.
-
- At that time, two truckers who worked for the Gutierrez
silo factory reached the site, confirming that they too had been witnessing
the phenomenon toward the west. Almost immediately, two police officers
from the Doblas Rural Patrol arrived, answering calls that reported vehicles
on the roadside. After a brief conversation, [the officers] also admitted
seeing the luminous phenomenon.
-
- The next day - November 8, at approximately 22:00 hours,
a couple from Macachin had a similar experience. They were driving from
Santa Rosa to Macachin along Provincial Route 14 in the vicinity of Potrillo
Oscuro. They suddenly became aware of an intense light approaching the
road from the right, that is to say, from the south, believing it was another
vehicle. However, the light rose into the air in front of them, "made
two pirouettes" (two circles) and vanished. They were still stunned
by this when two minutes later they witnessed a similar sight. Coinciding
with the Doblas case, the distance between both routes is the same and
the shape of luminous object is also similar: a cone with a rounded base.
