Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: ALIEN BASES RUMOURED IN ARGENTINA
In 1965, rumours of an alien base in Argentina flourished following numerous sightings of peculiar craft in the Valley of Loretani and a nearby ravine, located 60 kilometres southwest of Córdoba.
The first incident occurred at 20.00 on 15 July, when Ruben Busquets, the owner of a tree plantation, together with his wife Diana Loretani and daughter Marcela, noticed an unusual object as they were returning home from the Hotel de la Entrada. As Senor Busquets described it: The object was big and very luminous, of a bluish colour, but varying from moment to moment, sometimes to orangeish-red. Its shape was that of a truncated cone, though we were unable to see clearly where the upper part of it ended owing to the beam of light directed upwards out of the object. The lower part was circular and convex. Taking the nearby hills as my gauge, I reckon that it was some 10 to 15 metres in diameter. It was motionless and made no sound. At one moment it shone a beam of light on to us . . .
After a long pause, it dropped down vertically, and the terrain hid it from us, but we could still see the glow from it. Then finally the glow went out. We went on up to the house, but before we reached it we met one of our peones who was lying on the ground, having been thrown by his horse . . . this peasant had seen it too, and his horse had been so terrified by it that it had thrown him.
Thereafter, sightings of UFOs flying over the valley and dropping down into the ravine became a regular occurrence for the Busquets family. A circular mark, some seven metres in diameter, was discovered at a spot where one of the craft seemed to have landed. On another occasion, Señora Busquets was able clearly to see windows on one of the craft. The family was not alone: by this time, labourers on the plantation had become quite accustomed to seeing the phenomena.
One day, as Señor Busquets sat in his car beneath some power-lines watching one of the UFOs, he received a powerful electric shod Concerned that the UFO might bring down the power-lines, he move( his car away from the area. The UFO immediately turned off its light, leaving only a reddish glow that eventually faded out. On 24 July 1965, the Busquets invited a group of people to observe the strange craft. All of them saw a ‘shining cigar with a black band around it’ which remained stationary for about 10 seconds before plunging down into the ravine. The witnesses included two lawyers, Dr Felix Cochero and Dr Fortunato Columba. On 5 September 1965, Captain Omar Pagani, who then headed the Argentine Navy’s UFO investigations, observed a UFO through a telescope as it approached and dazzled witnesses (including two meteorologists), blocking out the entire field of view of the telescope as it did
so.
