Argentina: UFO Over Santa Rosa - La PampaInexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology Date: 14 January 2008 Time: 22:30 Temperature: 30 degrees Centigrade Skies: Clear Number of Witnesses: 4 Sighting Duration: 25 seconds Sounds During Sighting: None
The evening of Monday, January 14 was completely clear and as is normal for this time of year, the temperature was steady at 30 degrees C. Four people identified as MM, SS, OM and ED were in Zona Quinta in the southwest of Santa Rosa, enjoying a wading pool. One of the witnesses (SS) was lying at the edge of the pool and saw a light to the southwest that immediately drew his attention. It was far larger than any star. The witness (SS) makes the others aware of the strange light and OM, who was nearest to the house, grabbed his binoculars and went to the front of the property in order to follow the object. Once he was able to locate the target with his field glasses, he was startled to see not one light but several (a total of four, which looked like a single light without binoculars). From MM's story, satellites can always been cleary seen traveling in all directions. In his opinion, and that of the other witnesses, it wasn't a satellite, since he could tell the object was a low altitude (some 600 meters, "it passed right over our heads"). A noteworthy fact of his testimony was the halo of light that surrounded the object, an additional source of light that all of the witnesses noticed.

Argentina: Locals Claim Seeing UFO in Rio Cuarto
Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology January 16, 2007-Hundreds of local residents reported a strange flying object that traveled over the area in an unusual manner. They contacted a radio station to report on the luminous form that was visible in the sky. Carlos Oyola, a spokesman for the Argentinean Air Force, said in a radio presentation that at the time that the undefined flying object was reported there were no flights scheduled, neither private, nor commercial, nor military. Officially the Argentinean Air Force had no record of civil or military training flights at night, but the operator of the base's control tower saw an unidentified object that he was unable to identify. In fact, the operator investigated the information on the object and attempted to communicate with it to request the altitude, registration, aircraft type and advise it of the corresponding air route, but there was no reply. The object was sighted at 22:30 hours on Monday. According to those who saw it, it was a large object "with a more intensely yellow light than a satellite." It moved at high speed and flew from east to west in an elliptical manner. For more information:http://www.infobae.com/contenidos/359300-100439-0-R%C3Do-Cuarto-vecinos-aseguran-que-vieron-un-OVNI

Puerto Rico: Strange Lights in Late 2007
Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology January 15, 2008-On December 22, 2007, Wilmar and Frank were heading back toward Bayamon from the city of Ponce. Upon reaching Av. Los Filtros around 6:10 p.m., they watched the sunset and the arrival of twilight. Suddenly Wilma looked at the sky and saw what she at first thought was a jet. She quickly realized this was not the case, and that it could be a shooting star, but dismissed the possibility as the object remained in view and grew larger in size. She then thought it was a meteorite or something that had broken away and was falling toward the ground. That's when she asked Frank to look up, thinking that it was a meteorite or something similar. Frank told her it was a jet airplane. Wanda replied that those airplane left smoke in their wake, and this one had light. She added that it wasn't a normal aircraft, as it was flying forward and not the customary route followed by commercial planes. Frank agreed with this assessment, and continued driving as they kept their eyes on the object. When they passed the Military Academy, the object stopped. Judging by the way the light came down, [the object] appeared cone-shaped. Suddenly, Wanda realized that another light of the same size pulled up beside it and then over the object. Unlike the first one, Wanda did not see a descending shaft of light from this craft. It only hung above the first one for some seconds. Then the cone-shaped object made a right turn (as if heading toward San Juan) making an "L" turn. It did not turn like a commercial airliner would, rather in a perfect turn that startled the onlookers. Both objects moved in unison and the lights suddenly disappeared.
