OCTOBER 7, 1978, SAUCHE HUACHO, TUCUMAN, ARGENTINA, JUAN CARLOS TORRES, JOSE A. BUSTOS:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Short and late ufology sources indicate that on October 7, 1978, at 09:45 p.m. or 10:00 p.m., in Sauche Huacho, state of Tucuman, Argentina, Juan Carlos Torres, José A. Bustos, with two other people were in their court barbecuing when they suddenly or successively noticed two small figures standing in the shade.

One of the witnesses, thinking that the small men were neighbors, reportedly approached them to suddenly see them disappearing and reappearing at another place. They reportedly disappeared and reappeared once again at an unspecified distance.

In one of the versions, the two beings approached the barbecue.

The frightened witnesses fled into the house, looked outside, and then saw both small humanoids being "absorbed" into a red circular object which rose up from a nearby field and disappear over the nearby mountain.

A version says that scorched brush was found at the site.

A ufologist commented on that it was a "probable" illusion due to the acoholism of the witnesses.

[Ref. pc1:] "PROYECTO CATENT":

258.- Sauce Huacho, Tucumán.

7-10-1978

A group of witnesses was eating a roast when one of them detected the presence a being of small size to which was then added another with the same characteristics. Both approached to inspect the table and the grill and the witnesses fled from the place frightened. They then managed to observe how they were absorbed by a red light which emanated from an object which disappeared while rising towards the mountain.

Location. Sauce Huacho, Tucuman Argentina

Date: October 7 1978 Time: 2200

A man named Bustos and another one named Torres were outside in their yard operating a barbecue when they suddenly noticed standing only a few meters away two short figures that were standing in the shadows. One of the witnesses, thinking the figures were neighbors approached them to see them suddenly disappear and appear at another location nearby, the figures then disappear again and appear some distance away. The frightened witnesses ran inside the house, and looked out to see the two short humanoids being “absorbed” into a red circular object which rose up from a nearby field and disappear over the nearby mountain. Scorched brush was found at the site.

[Ref. ar2:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Famailla, Tucuman, Argentina, on mid October 1978, at 2200, a man named Bustos and another one named Torres were outside in their yard operating a barbecue when they suddenly noticed standing only a few meters away two short figures that were standing in the shadows. One of the witnesses, thinking the figures were neighbors approached them to see them suddenly disappear and appear at another location nearby, the figures then disappear again and appear some distance away. The frightened witnesses ran inside the house, and looked out to see a red circular object rise up from a nearby field. Scorched brush was found at the site.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Fabio Picasso."

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indique dans son catalogue qu'à Famailla, Tucuman, Argentine, à mi-octobre 1978, à 2200, un homme appelé Bustos et un autre appelé Torres étaient dehors dans leur cour faisant un barbecue quand ils ont soudainement remarqué positionnés à seulement quelques mètres de distance deux personnages courts qui se tenaient dans les ombres. Un des témoins, pensant que les personnages étaient des voisins les a approchés pour les voir soudainement disparaître et apparaître à un autre endroit tout près, les personnages disparaissent alors encore et apparaissant à une certaine distance au loin. Les témoins effrayés ont couru à l'intérieur de la maison, et regardé dehors pour voir un objet circulaire rouge monter vers le haut d'un champ voisin. De la broussaile roussie a été trouvée à l'emplacement.

Albert Rosales indique que la source est "Fabio Picasso."

[Ref. lb1:] LUIS BURGOS:

That the vision of Sauce Huacho humanods, Tucuman (1978) is due to a PROBABLE ILLUSION UNDER the EFFECT OF THE ALCOHOLISM OF THE WITNESSES...

Points to consider:

The report appears quite anecdotal (see List of issues) and an explanation is put forward - although only as "probable" so it may be just speculation.
