First Peru, then Brazil, then Australia--now Chile is the latest
country in our planet's southern hemisphere suffering an invasion
of unidentified flying objects. Recent sightings have taken place
around the city of Valdivia, 900 kilometers (565 miles) south of the
nation's capital, Santiago de Chile.
Promptly at noontime on Tuesday, July 9, 1996, a UFO appeared in
the sky over Chillan, a city of 200,000 about 400 kilometers (250 miles)
south of Santiago. The object was described as "very bright" and
"remained motionless for a few minutes and then disappeared at high
speed toward the southeast."
On Thursday night, July 4, 1996, a UFO appeared over the airstrip
at Pichoy, 32 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of Valdivia. "We saw a
large light, accompanied by another small one," the airstrip manager
said. "The luminous UFO went at great speed over the airport, flying
from west to east. In spite of the mist (sea fog), the intensity of the
light was very noticeable and called everybody's attention."
Radar sets at the Pichoy tower did not register the presence of
the UFOs. The objects were seen by the tower staff, the baggage
loaders, plus the crews and passengers of two airliners, one from
Ladeco Airlines, the other from Alta Airlines. The Ladeco jet was
taxiing for takeoff at the time of the sighting. The Alta plane was just
getting its luggage loaded aboard when the UFOs appeared.
On Saturday, June 29, three UFOs flew over the village of
Huellehue (population-240). Among the witnesses was Sgt. Romeo
Ojoda Carrasco of the Chilean Army. He said the three UFOs "seemed
to be flying inside something that looked like a bubble, or perhaps
their own atmosphere. I don't believe in UFOs, but what I saw, with my
companions, does not have a logical explanation. Those objects
moved very fast."
