CALETA OLIVIA 1974:

At 7:30pm on March 23, 1974, Sr. Cesar Elorda, senior employee of Y.P.F. in Comodoro Rivadavio, was 16 Kilometers out of Caleta Olivia in the region of Santa Cruz, when he noticed a strange circular aircraft approaching from the ocean to the east. It was travelling in a westerly direction, across the highway. It continued its course and passed over his car. He could clearly see that it was not an airplane. He stopped the car, got out with his camera, and was able to get one good photograph before the object was too far away.

At 09:15 A.M. on January 3, 1975, Sr. Francisco Moreno was on the second floor of a borrowed cottage in the region of Rio Negro reading a novel when his attention was called to a buzzing sound outside his window. He looked out the window and saw a dark gray sombrero-shaped object hovering in the sky. After he remembered his camera was in the room downstairs, he shouted to his wife and daughter to come up and bring the camera with them.

PEHUENCO BEACH 1976:

At 06:30 P.M on May 9, 1976, Ms. Silvia Marie Weber was walking along Pehuenco Beach in Buenos Aires Province, about 60 kilometers northeast of Bahia Blanca, when she saw a number of people watching an unusual luminous yellow-orange capsule-shaped object flying slowly above the surf in the late afternoon sky. She went and got her camera and returned in time to snap one color photograph of the object before it flew away.

DIAMANTE, 1976:

At 10:00am on July 11, 1976, Sr. Eduardo Gizzi and his family, driving their automobile from Victoria to Diamante, in the province of Entre Rios, noticed a very strange flying object approaching at low altitude from the West. At first they thought it was a helicopter because of its compact appearance and low-level altitude, but as it came closer and they could see it in better perspective, they could see that it had no rotor on top and was not shaped like a helicopter. The object took up a position to their right and for some 15 or 20 seconds paralleled the Gizzy automobile. This allowed the witness to take one good color photograph of the flying craft without stopping the automobile. Here is a larger photograph.

BALCARCE 1976:

Sr. Gonzalo Luis Heuer, watching storm clouds over the city of Balcarce on December 23, 1976, saw a pinkish-orange lenticular luminosity flying in and out of the clouds. He obtained a camera and snapped two pictures of the object before it disappeared.

ALBERTI, MAY 28, 1977:

At 05:45 P.M. on May 28, 1977, a Comodoro in the Argentine Air Force, was driving his automobile about 20 kilometers south of Alberti in the Province of Buenos Aires. His son was riding along with him. The teenage boy first spotted the brightly luminous orange-colored object flying slowly from north to south beneath the low overcast clouds. The father tried to see the object as his son made him aware of it, and finally stopped the car to try to see better. He got out with his camera, a Practika Pentacon 35mm hand-held model with a 50mm lens attached. They could clearly see the object moving along under the low clouds. Before the father was able to take the first picture, two brightly luminous yellow-white objects came out of the larger capsule-shaped "mother-ship" and started to fly around it. The Comodoro tried to snap pictures as fast as he could, but almost immediately after launching the smaller craft, the larger ship disappeared into the clouds above followed in quick order by the smaller objects. Here is a larger photograph.

CENTENO, SANTA FE, JUNE 21, 1977:

At 2:00pm on June 21, 1977, a witness who declines identification snapped a color photograph of a shiny circular disc-shaped metallic flying object that had a high raised cupola on its top side. It was flying high above the trees, and above the lower scattered puffy white cloud level, but well below a higher cirrus layer of thin clouds. The brushed-silver disc had a smooth unbroken lower surface and a three-tiered dome. The lower part of the dome had a red-orange color, with a light yellow colored part above that which was topped by a reddish-gold knob at the uppermost level. No seams, joints, ports or projections of any kind marred the unbroken finish of the shiny craft.

CENTENO, SANTA FE, JUNE 21, 1977:

Shaped like a giant sombrero, this UFO hovered outside of Centeno for an unknown period of time, and was photographed by an anonymous source. A similar object was witnessed in Ontario, Canada two years earlier.

ENTRE RIOS, JUNE 1, 1978:

Sr. F. Alzaibar, a nuclear physicist of the Argentine Atomic Energy Commission, his wife M. a senior professor of exact science, and a second couple, owners of the river yacht they were all travelling on near Carmelo, snapped two photos of this disc.
