A mechanical engineer took several photographs of the phenomenon
The Center of Studies of the Abnormal Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA) of the General Management of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC) will study the recorded strange aerial phenomenon at 07:20 in the morning.
Several unidentified flying objects (UFOS) flew over the place and made manoeuvers, before sunrise yesterday, at some 60 kilometers in the North-East of Santiago, at the level of Llay-Llay and of Chilcas, places where they were photographed by Juan Serey, aged 37, whereas he was driving a small van towards the capital.
The witness said to La Cuarta that he has been using this same road nine years long, at least once per week, and that he had never seen anything similar.
"It was incredible, when I initially saw several powerful lights, coming from the south and which moved quickly and were hovering in the sky. That was spectacular", commented on the mechanical engineer. The phenomenon lasted roughly ten minutes, this gave him time to grab his 3.2 megapixels Sony Cibershot camera, with which he took several photographs, of which Cuarta publishes a part.
"The lights were suspended at some 50 meters on the top of the hill. It began with a great light and seven to ten then gathered. They adopted all kinds of formations, came all together and then, one of them spouted out at a fantastic speed, towards the sky, while making zig-zaga, until being lost of sight in one second", reported Juan, which in the next hours will send the photographs for the study of this subject.
