It is when I read this news item on a TV text service from a Swiss TV channel back in 1995 that I became interested in investigating UFOs. Here is more information on the Bariloche case.

In Argentina, a pilote in landing approach
of the Bariloche airport
did not believe his eyes.
But several observations
confirm his testimony
A "flying saucer" of "white color," moving at high speed, disturbed the traffic of the airport of San Carlos de Bariloche 1800 kilometers in the South-west of Buenos Aires, during about fifteen minutes, in the night of Monday to Tuesday, indicated a dozen eyewitnesses.
It all begun whereas a flight from Aérolinas Argentinas, coming from Buenos Aires with 102 passengers and 3 crew members, finished his landing approach to the airport of Bariloche, a winter sports resort located on the first buttresses of the Andes.
"The pilot had to make a desperate manoeuver to not enter in collision with a UFO," stated several members of the Argentinean air forces. According to an officer, who also saw the UFO, "a power outage occurred at the same time in the entire city and the airport's electronic systems became wild."
Several inhabitants also say that they have seen the craft, right before the power outage. "At fifteen minutes of flight from Bariloche, the control tower normally authorized us to start our landing approach, "explains the pilot Jorge Polanco.
"At the moment when I started the last descent, I suddenly saw a white light which came directly on us at full speed in front of me, before instantly stopping at a hundred meters. When I started again the manoeuvers, the object made an odd turn to accompany our descent turn and to pace us at a hundred meters of us," he indicates. "After a while, the saucer, the size of an airliner, changed color, two green lights appearing at the ends with an orange gleam in the center which ignited intermittently," the pilot continues.
At the time when I started my last approach, the lights of the track of the airport turned off in a blow. I had to go up to 3 miles, by taking an evasive manoeuver, still accompanied by the UFO who went up at a supernatural speed" and suddenly disappeared. "This craft did not move according to known physical and natural laws known. I did not believe my eyes!" adds Polaco, who acknowledges that after the landing, he was "five minutes in the cabin with my heart throbbing wildy."
