The sighting of a powerful light over an abandoned house in a field of the town of Gobernador Ugarte, similar to an unidentified flying object (UFO), has prompted Luis Burgos, a representative of the Argentine Ufology Federation, to visit 25 de Mayo today, possibly at noon, for a detailed study of the light seen by residents and policemen from Ugarte. He will even make a copy of the images filmed by a local rancher, according to a spokesman for the local cable channel.
On July 15 and last Wednesday, residents and policemen of Ugarte claimed having seen something strange that irradiated a powerful white light from its lower section, making it impossible to see what was above the light source. The strange light was seen by Manuel González, José Benavides and his wife Rosa Gutiérrez and subsequently reported to the police in order that agents of law enforcement, among them senior officer Rafael Aragones, could witness the strange event.
