On September 14, 2017, an anonymous post appeared on the "Facebook" page of the "LT7" radio station of Corrientes in Argentina.
The post claimed that "last night", staff of the 4th precinctt went to the area of Parque Mitre, more precisely near the abandoned boats, after having been alerted by a group of young people about a strange person of strange behavior in this area.
Upon arriving, officers in patrol car 612 allegedly saw the character and took a picture of him with a mobile phone, but when they wanted to approach, the being threw himself into the water and disappeared from the surface .
The message was accompanied by a photograph of the "being" - visible below in this file.
On September 21, 2017, the fraud was exposed: the image came from a Spanish independent movie titled "OVNI" ("UFO").

Monday, September 18, 2017 Argentina: An ALLEGED Alien in Parque Mitre (Corrientes)Source: Planeta UFO, Diario Primera Linea, Radio LTAM900 (Editor's note: News items of this sort are titillating and often disappointing. Approach the subject matter with caution. Updates will be published as they appear.) Radio station LT7AM 900 in the neighboring city of Corrientes published an event on its Facebook page that took place on Tuesday night in Corrientes's capital city. Close to where the abandoned ships can be found, personnel belong to the 4th sheriff's office reported to the location after having been tipped off to the presence of a 'strange person' in the area, behaving oddly. Reporting to the scene, officers aboard police cruiser 612 managed to "see the subject and when trying to identify it, saw a strange creature that was photographed with a cellphone camera." It subsequently dived into the water. The photo attched is the same one that appears on the radio station's social media page. We have no way of telling whether it is true or falke. What we do notice is that the being was captured perfectly in the middle of the night. (Translation (c) 2017 S.

Monday, September 18, 2017 Source: Planeta UFO and Misterio TV Argentina: Further Details on The Parque Mitre "Alien"(Editor's note: News items of this sort are titillating and often disappointing. Approach the subject matter with caution. Updates will be published as they appear.) On Tuesday, September 13, the Argentinean media published the story of an event occurring in Parque Mitre, where a group of police officers attached to the 4th sheriff's office reported to the area where a group of teenagers reported the strange behavior of an "individual" prowling the surroundings. When police cruiser 612 arrived on the scene to make contact with this alleged person, they were able to see a strange being that was immediately photographed with a cellphone camera. When police officers tried to approach the 'extraterrestrial being', they said it escaped, jumping into the water and vanishing from sight immediately. This isn't the first time that beings of extraterrestrial origin have been photographed in Argentina, a country that appears to be a 'hotspot' for alien encounters and contact. What is striking about the police report concerning the being's behavior is that it leaped into the water, leading us to believe that could be perfectly deployed under the sea, from which many people have seen UFOs emerging. The photograph is of very high quality. We can perfectly make out the humanoid details - it is a bipedal being, without any apparent clothing, with eyes characteristic of the 'tall Greys' and with good musculature, possibly developed in our gravity. One could suppose this being has lived on our planet for many years to develop such muscles. We are sharing this image so you can draw your own conclusions from what appears to be seemingly irrefutable evidence.

Thursday, September 21, 2017 Source: Orbita Cero Mendoza (Argentina) Date: 09.21.2017 HOAX: The Corrientes HumanoidAs could well be expected, the photo of the humanoid entity supposedly photographed by police before it took a plunge into the Paraná River has turned out to be less than meets the eye. Argentina's Orbita Cero Mendoza reported in its blog that the CIFAD center of the province of Corrientes had "uncovered the fraudulent nature of the video" from which the image was taken. The image had a viral effect on social media and the Internet at large. It turns out to be a clip from the horror movie "O.V.N.I." Orbita Cero Mendoza gives us the following information, which is translated below: "Production company Decar Films reports that the Spanish independent film "O.V.N.I." is the story of an incredible experience recorded by four people who went to a forest in Robledo de Chavela to shoot a documentary on the UFO phenomenon. Their cameras picked up something unusual. The screenplay was written and directed by Diego Carballo & Daniel Carlón, starring Peio Arzak, Sergio Torres, Diego Carballo and Daniel Carlón. The CIFAD report not only highlights the spurious nature of the Parque Mitre alien, but also the viral effect it exerted [on the Internet]." Finding the party responsible for the hoax, says the blog, will be up to CIFAD. They also suggest the possibility that this might be part of some sort of "psychosocial experiment" which could be even more disquieting. This brings to an end the story of the Corrientes Humanoid. The CIFAD video is available at: https://youtu.be/yzFgr1X34_w The Spanish production (1hr 26min) can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/SUbo77Q0vVU Our thanks to Luis Emilio Annino. |
Needless to say, the text and image posted on the "Radio LT7" Facebook page was copied on countless of UFO websites or blogs. There is no sense in reproducing what they published, as it is just copies and translations of the sources provided here, without any other information.
The original image file from the "Radio LT7" post is below:
The image contained absolutely no EXIF information. Not date, time, no information on the camera or any software used. This means it was removed. This is no proof of hoax but it is highly suspicious.
Just like the "Inexplicata" blog, I think that this image is only an ALLEGED image of an alien; and there is no reason to discard that this is just one more hoax.
I found no trace of any police involvement in this, and no report in any local media so far.
"Radio LT7" (www.radiolt7.com) is really a radio station in Corrientes, but a search on their news articles brings no result about any such incident.
On September 21, 2017, I add to the above: the image came from a Spanish independent movie titled "OVNI" ("UFO") (See [in3] above.).
