Several unidentified flying objects were observed on Saturday evening by hundreds of witnesses in Buenos Aires and other parts of Argentina.
Between 7 and 7:08 p.m. local time, luminous objects in the shape of a saucer, cigars and triangles appeared in the sky, which could be photographed. Thus, in Rosario (320 km northwest of Buenos Aires), the newspaper "El Diario" published several photos of these objects. A Buenos Aires airport flight controller reported that an unidentified object appeared in the sky, moving along a path that should have collided with planes that were about to land or had just taken off. His statement was confirmed by a pilot who added that the object suddenly changed course and gained altitude at breakneck speed. For its part, the Air Force indicated that the phenomena observed were due to a cloud of ice illuminated by the sun or the moon.
