Argentina: Marcos Barraza of Nuestro Pasado Extraterrestre shares with us this document from 1972 - the first official report by Argentina's "Gendarmería Nacional" concerning a UFO incident.

He writes the following in his blog: "It was on January 2, 2010, during the inauguration of the Nuevo Museo del OVNI (the New UFO Museum) in the city of Victoria that the research staff of VISION OVNI startled the authorities and the public with what is the FIRST OFFICIAL UFO DOCUMENT from Argentina's Gendarmería Nacional. It is important to examine this document with care. It includes the information, names and surnames, places and details of an encounter between a Gendarmería Aircraft and a UFO, but [particular importance must be given] to Page 4, which explains: "This form... and has the purpose of informing the senior ranks of the Institution for the preparation anf an orderly and updated file of phenomena of this nature (!!!)." Today, thanks to the VISION OVNI team, we are sharing with you this first document, corresponding to the Gendarmeria Argentina. Stay tuned for more!"

We would like to extend our thanks to Marcos Barraza for making us aware of this development on his Facebook page and to SYLVIA AND ANDREA PEREZ SIMONDINI for their tireless work toward ending UFO secrecy in Argentina.

Without further ado, here is the translation of this landmark 1972 sighting:
