Argentina - UFOs Over Doblas And Macachin


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.

Argentina - UFOs Photographed Near Site Of Police Incident

The photos were taken by a young woman while she focussed on lights on the horizon. The next day, while playing the digicam's zoom, her father ascertained that they were vehicles similar to the Unidentified Flying Objects seen on the Internet.

A teenage girl from Tres Arroyos photographed a group of UFOs while she spent a weekend fishing with her family at a a lagoon near Oriente. The sighting took place on Wednesday, October 17. However, her father detected the vehicles in the image the next day, while playing with the zoom on his daughter's camera.

Yesterday afternoon, Carlos Fabian Sapag approached La Voz del Pueblo with his wife Marta Daniela Arias and his daughter Carla, 12, to share the images and his experience with our readers.

"It took place on October 17 at the Norrild Lagoon, some 30 kilometers from Oriente heading toward Irene, where the police officers had their experience on Wednesday," Carlos recalled as he thought back to an episode that he is certain he will never again see in his life.

"We were fishing, stopped doing it, and started to boil water while the girl took photos of the horizon. She likes photography a lot and snaps the shutter at everything that moves," explained her dad, whose own experience took place the next day, when he reviewed the images taken by Carla. "The next day, toying with the camera's zoom, we saw there was an airplane in one of the photos. In the measure that I enlarged it, I saw a bunch of little things that were unknown to me. We checked on the Internet and were able to see that they were all lights of the same kind."

Their curiosity ended there. Several days went by without the photo being deleted from the camera's memory until a family friend suggested that they share the image with the press. "We decided to approach the press at a friend's recommendation. Besides, we didn't want this to end up in limbo," he remarked.

Displaying the detail of his images on a computer, Sapag discussed what he felt after the experience. "I don't know what I would do if I experienced something like [what happened] to these policement. I can't imagine. I believe in life in other planets, since there's life here, there must be life elsewhere." He also stated that he had informed himself about the presence of UFOs in the region. "All of the UFOs seen around here appear in bodies of water like lagoons, such as the one at Sierras de los Padres in Mar del Plata. That's where they're usually seen."

Meanwhile, his daughter Carla, who took the images, acknowledged having done so by pure chance and that when she did so, she did not pick up any noises or strange odors, unlike what was described by the police officers from the Oriente station. "I didn't see anything moving. I took [the photo] because I like the combination of colors, and I like photography," she said.

Before saying farewell, Carlos referred to the way that this experience will influence his life. "I didn't feel like fishing again. I felt fear and the sensation that something's watching one. Yesterday (Sunday) I was going to go, but changed my mind in the end."

The sighting reported by the Sapag Family to thes newspaper took place 4 weeks before the contact experience reported by the police officers from the Aparicio station. The difference with this latter case consists in the chance to see the occupants of the strange vessels."
