Greetings. My name is Pablo and I’m writing to tell you of a UFO sighting that took place on 17 January 2009 along National Route 40.
I was vacationing in the city of El Calafate, a tourist destination in Patagonia known for its natural beauty. I live in the town of Gobernador Gregores, the provincial capital of Santa Cruz, some 200 kilometers distant from Puerto San Julián and Comandante Piedra Buena, and some 440 kilometers from the provincial capital of Rio Gallegos. I’m stating this so that you can place yourselves on the map.
And this was our sighting: on 17 January at 5:00 a.m I was heading out of El Calafate toward Gdor. Gregores, a 380 kilometer distance, along Route 11 and then some 32 kilometers along National Route 40 toward Tres Lagos, where a fueling stop is mandatory. We reached this location at 6:50 a.m., starting the journey once more at 7:00 a.m. We had covered approximately 4 kilometers when we began to see on our left, on the Cordilleran side, a shining form that was closing in on us very slowly. At 7:15 a.m. we thought it might be an Australian tank (water storage tank) or something similar, but we progressed, it became closer still.
It was at that point that I asked my partner what she was seeing, and she told me it was a bird. We kept driving, and the object was no longer anything resembling a tank or much less a bird. In a matter of minutes it was near us, and that’s when we realized it was nothing known to us at all. The object was aluminum-colored and it was shaped like a cigar. It had neither windows nor wings nor turbines, made no strange noises or smells. This was a truly unique thing for us, since never in our lives had we seen anything similar, nor did we believe in these devices.
