Vista Alegre (It is a municipality of the Confluencia department in the province of Neuquén, Argentina.)

The journalistic chronicle abounded in details from the first moment. The witnesses made the essential contribution to define the appearance of “something” different in the sky of the Neuquén riverbank: “From the ground it seemed that it continued to illuminate since the rays of light pointed to the sky in different directions”, said Hipólito Manqui, while trying to delineate with his hands the strange movement of the lights given off by the object. Manqui was one of those who, surprised by what he was observing, tried to notify the police. This was not necessary since troops mobilized in a patrol car of the Vista Alegre police unit that also shared the observation, so a few minutes later a notice of “reinforcements required” ran through the force’s communication network. Another witness, a young man who was with other friends, contributed his story to the police who arrived at a farm next to the river, a place that was indicated by several of the residents as the point where the UFO seemed to fall. But the darkness, the limited range of the vehicle lights and other resources that were used when searching the area were not enough to find any clue of the contact of the strange object with the ground.

Fear and perplexity

At the intersection of Malvina Reyes and Jofré streets is the Neighborhood Commission of this town. Erika Lira, 27, breastfeeds her little son. She was one of the people who saw the strange phenomenon.
“We are tired of being laughed at. They called us from different radios and laughed at our testimonies. But those who laugh were not here, witnessing what we witnessed to be absolutely true,” she emphatically indicates.
Along with her, Belén Bascur (17) and Miriam Bascur (23) coincide with her testimony, the existence of a strange celestial phenomenon for the inhabitants of Costa de Reyes and Costa Verde.
“The island was fully illuminated. We saw an object that went up and down accompanied by some rumbles that made the windows vibrate. It was very early in the morning, so only those of us who were awake at that time and those who were awakened by the screams of the neighbors were able to observe, like us, what was happening “.

Reactions

“It was like a yellow satellite that suddenly fell. But it has nothing to do with Rear Admiral Cordero’s party, because every year they celebrate and something like this never happened. Besides, what we saw was on the opposite side, I could see it clearly from the windows. I confess that we were very scared, I called my mother who was extremely surprised by what we were seeing.”

In addition to the events reported by Erika, there is also the testimony of Miriam Bascur who observed: “Grandmother Luz, who lives with one of her children, left her house, and when she saw this rare phenomenon she was so scared that she entered her home again and he immediately closed doors and windows. The next day he confessed to us that he did not want to know anything about what was happening. He believed that it was the presence of ships from another planet.”

Erika, indignant, says: “Laughing at us, the mayor of Rear Admiral Cordero sent us a note in which he disparages our joint vision with a” The residents of Costa de Reyes, are innocents who do not know what they saw.

But one of the key witnesses to the strange appearance is Carlos Manqué. Crossing a path of almost two kilometers from the Vista Alegre Neighborhood Center, we find the house of the main witness.
It is about a young man, known and loved in Costa de Reyes, who is dedicated to repairing bicycles. From his modest home, located by the river and facing the island, he approaches walking slowly: “I don’t want to talk anymore. They laugh at us. I’m a sick man,” he says, “and the doctor advised me not to do more. statements to the press. I have dialysis in Neuquén three times a week. I don’t want to remember more of everything I saw. And I saw it from my house, as soon as we walked out the door. I was with two other people who can attest that it is It was an unusual event, going through the trees of the island. It will have lasted an hour, but I don’t want to talk any more, because I already testified on television, the radio. The only thing I can say is that everything was true. that we live and that everyone who was awake at that time was part of the same experience. There was one or more UFOs.”

More testimonials

“The workers who changed shifts in Moño Azul — affirmed Ernesto Zalazar, from Costa Verde — were also able to observe everything that was happening in the sky. Here, the windows moved and for two nights the dogs did not stop barking. They said it indicates that the dogs detect aliens, and I am afraid that one of them has come down and is walking through the plantations.”

Another witness to the UFO phenomenon that occurred in Vista Alegre was Mrs. Agustina Arenas, whom we interviewed at the school in the center of the town, where she develops her work.
“It is true what happened, but they did a lot of propaganda,” he affirmed while he made a aside in his usual tasks. “It was a circle that was as if suspended in the sky. It appeared and disappeared. My granddaughter warned me, and we were looking at it with my husband. But we didn’t give it importance. At times it seemed to change color. My husband, “Agustina added,” told me it was the star, but no. The star was bright as always and this circle had a different brightness, it also appeared and disappeared. And The following night we also saw it, so we no longer gave it importance, because it was the same, in the same place, appearing and disappearing.”

Shining green

The fertile land of Vista Alegre appears, with the rain, a brilliant green. Many of the witnesses to the UFO phenomenon assured that a young man living in the city, Mauricio Urrutia, had taken a photograph of the event.
When we could not find him at his home, we consulted with his grandmother, Mrs. Felisa Villagra, widow of Urrutia, who actively participates in the María Auxiliadora chapel, in the laborious Hands of the elderly group of this locality.

“My grandson works in Centenario. He took photos of the event. Even from my house — indicated Doña Felisa — which is in the center of Vista Alegre I could see what everyone saw, far away, in the sky. It was a circle, it was “It looked like a white circle,” she affirms, and then continues her story. “We didn’t pay much attention to it, but I think these things cannot be taken for a joke. Perhaps it is a heavenly warning so that we behave better,” concluded Doña Felisa, smiling -. This phenomenon remained in the sky for about an hour. It did not scare me because about twenty years ago I also had an experience of this type. I was going to Mendoza with my husband and we saw in the sky a luminous sphere that at first was like frozen in one point and then it followed us until it disappeared in an instant. I am convinced that Unidentified Flying Objects exist and that there is also life on other planets.”

Almost fifty residents of Costa de Reyes and Costa Verde, as well as some from the town of Vista Alegre, are certain of having seen a phenomenon strange to the nature of the place. No one can say with certainty that they were visitors from other worlds, but they did have the opportunity to observe a UFO.
It is not the first time that events of this nature have occurred in the province. In this case, the abundance of matching testimonials leaves no room for doubt.

La Otra Campana news portal

The president of the Council of the town of Rear Admiral Cordero raised his point of view.

Vista Alegre

The lights that the residents of Vista Alegre saw last Monday morning could be part of a laser beam show that took place on the other side of the river, about 600 meters from the riverbank.
The president of the Council of Cordero, Fabián Galli, clarified that “I am not saying that the neighbors could see a different situation than the one they described, I am not saying that they are lying or anything similar; he raised that there could be a confusion, “he said.
Fabián Galli did not deny the existence of a UFO sighting observed by the inhabitants of Costa de Reyes and Costa Verde last Monday morning.
Galli described that at the time the neighbors claim to have seen lights over the sky in a circular way, they could have been laser beams that from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Monday were used as part of the Cordero anniversary celebrations.
Fabián Galli described that the rays produced lights in eight concentric circles that rotate “at great height” and that the device emitted the lights until 1.30; when the job was finished with six minutes of fireworks and colored bombs “that would explode high up and then come down.”

Argentina UFO Network

The Red Argentina de Ovnilogía (RAO) was created on June 24, 1991 as a non-hierarchical and non-profit organization.
At present it brings together more than thirty research groups and researchers of the UFO phenomenon, individuals from the Argentine Republic.
They have a very clear objective: to keep all their members in communication, exchange information and serve as a basis for joint projects. Those who compose it, according to what is stated on its website, tend towards a serious, methodological and scientific study of the UFO problem. They define themselves as “far from charlatanism, fraud, mysticism and commerce.”
