Encounter in Arroyos, Argentina

On October 31, 2007, Argentina was the scene of one of the most spectacular UFO events in recent years.

In the city of Tres Arroyos two policemen had a bizarre experience.

Everything occurred that Wednesday at about 1:30 a.m.



Two officers patrolling the Oriente, near rural Irene, were astonished to see a strange unidentified flying object enhanced by a powerful white light.

One of the officers reported, using his cell phone, that he was seeing a small light, like a truck approaching but within moments the light got bigger.

At about ten meters he saw a moving figure and his first thought was that it was a dog. But it was a silhouette of a little man of about 80 centimeters in height, with a large head, prominent gray eyes and a greenish color.

Then trying to dial his partner’s phone he found that when he pressed buttons 1 and 5, his hand remained static.

He could see that from the vehicle or ship emerged three beings, two identical to the first and fourth that was a little more robust



The policemen froze at the sight of the little men.

Bracamonte has no doubts about what he witnessed in the company of Lieutenant Osvaldo Orellana,

"My partner was seeing what I was seeing as I shouted 'what is happening?' Then the four little men boarded the ship and it left swiftly, making a noise like thunder, moving northward, scattering a white light which slowly died out, leaving a green halo and a strong smell of sulfur or gunpowder."

(Many UFO encounters report sulfur or gunpowder after a witnessed UFO takes-off.)

After the encounter, one of the officers suffered some consequences:

"When I went to the van, Officer Bracamonte was silent, his hand immobilized for an unknown reason. For two hours this was an issue that made him cry "

During the same time-period, the guard post manager at Aparicio, Second Lieutenant Santiago Walter, told reporters, "We were going from Nicolas Descalzi toward Aparicio on a routine procedure when we saw a great white light that seemed to engulf us, Then we stopped the truck and tried to use the phone but had no signal. My partner Carabajal asked me to look up and I saw a bright light that seemed to be immobilized above on the truck but disappeared in a flash. "

(The close encounter of Tres Arroyos had also led to "electromagnetic interference" that prevented phone use.)

Several neighbors in Oriente, said they witnessed, at the time, strange gleams in the direction of Irene and Aparicio, and heard some mysterious explosions.

"We were asleep when a noise that seemed a tire blowing out which startled us, shakng the window panes for a while. While looking through the window, there was nothing unusual" said a woman who, at about 2:00 a.m., was frightened by the noise.

Strange Close Encounter in 1954 French UFO Wave

On October 15, 1954 at about 18:50 am, two Toulon neighbors, said they saw the landing of an artifact in the form of disk in a location near Hyeres (France).

The witnesses, the owner of a coffee shop and mechanic Jean Rapellini and Marcel Ottoviani said they were traveling by motorcycle on a road between Toulon and Hyeres when they saw a flying saucer "fall" from heaven.

The artifact disgorged a man of medium height, wearing a "bright gray suit."



"Are you a Martian?" asked a nervous Rapellini.

“No, we are French, but where am I?" said the strange man.

“Between Toulon and Hyeres,” Rapellini replied.

The stranger went up again into the strange disk which took off vertically.

About 50 meters in the air, the object began to turn, issued an orange steam and disappeared into the distance, spinning at high speed toward Hyeres.

The two witnesses went to the police immediately. The testimony of both friends matched perfectly.

Some officials of the Aeronautical Information Services, very interested in the incident, rushed to the scene of the alleged landing and found a "sort of" scorched circular track on the ground with clear ash; it occupied a large tract of land.

A Brigadier General of Air Intelligence went to Toulon to interview the two witnesses, who drew a detailed sketch of the mysterious ship.



The press speculated that the great interest of the authorities in the case of Ottoviani and Rapellini was caused by the possibility, perhaps, of a secret prototype (an airplane with vertical liftoff) that were being tested in the area.

But some reporters at the scene indicated that the landing zone was very difficult to reach and that trees impeded any freedom of movement for the hypothetical landing and takeoff of an experimental aircraft.

Some journalists, verified that the alleged landing area was visited by government agents from Paris.

The observatory of Mont Ventoux reported that the day after this encounter, about 7:30 in the morning, they saw an unknown artifact floating in the ski, heading towards Orange

The object was oval shaped with two overlapping cones joined by a kind of antenna.

THE ENCOUNTER OF VENTURA MACEIRAS: THE THEORY OF DISTORTION AND THE MENTAL FACTOR

Copyright 2012, InterAmerica, Inc.

According to the theory of distortion, the involvement and participation of the mind of the witness, is essential in "making" and "projection" of the experiences of close encounters with UFOs.

First, as "source documents", where the “external agent”, extract "information" (elements) to be used in the representation (oneiric theater) of contact with extraterrestrial beings.

And two, the mind of the witness, being attuned to this “external agent”, is the point of origin of the communication, and therefore, although there is a "stimulus" external "real" (independent, three-dimensional), such as a flying saucer landed, the "stimulus" is not through the nerves of the eye. The witness's own mind is the beginning of phenomenology.

So this would explain why many witnesses were able to recall many details of their experience, (although this was very short in time) as the "recording" of memory occurs directly on the brain of the witness (a neurological level .)

This cause may also be an effect of tuning (communication or data transfer) between the two participants in the construction of anomalous experience (the human mind and the “external agent”).

We must remember, that the involvement of the “external agent” helps maintain a structure "consistent" in the final result of experience (extraterrestrial visitation), avoiding the involvement of elements certainly extravagant and "anachronistic.” For example, that inside the UFO, the witness observes his father-in-law or his boss.

Moreover, the “external agent” inserts into the internal structure of the close encounter, certain common elements that are unknown by the various witnesses but are repeated throughout the world.

Here is an example:

On December 30, 1972, in Tres Arroyos, 500 kilometers from Buenos Aires (Argentina), about 22:30 p.m, Mr. Ventura Maceiras, 73, was having a drink on the outside of his isolated home, close to a fire and with his pets, a dog and a cat and their young ones.


Maceiras

Suddenly the radio started having interference, until it stopped working. At that moment he heard a loud noise, like a swarm of bees that increased its sound level.

The witness observed a bright light, which came from an object about 20 or 25 meters in diameter and was disc-shaped, the color of red /orange.

The artifact floated about 10 or 20 meters above the ground.

At the top of the disc was a luminous dome with windows. The object emitted sparks from the bottom. The disk was tilted toward the witness,





Ventura Maceiras observed a humanoid with a transparent helmet (like an astronaut’s),
wearing a dark gray suit inflated like the Bibendum/Michelin Man).



From the top of the helmet came a tube joined to a "parachute" on the back.

Behind this humanoid, there was another being, looking over the shoulder of his or her companion.

Both had slit eyes, the mouth was a simple line; the witness remembers nothing of a nose or ears.

On the back wall of the object, Maceiras saw, perfectly, a flag with an emblem.

In the emblem was a "seahorse" with a "crown" on its head.

The emblem also had several signs that Maceiras did not recognize.



The upper half of the emblem was light blue with gold lower on the lower half.

The witness also told investigators that he also saw an impressive number of instruments and "watches.”

Then the flying saucer launched a very powerful beam of light that blinded Maceiras.

The cat that was also in the path of the light disappeared immediately. The artifact changed color from red / orange to blue/ green and started to move until it was lost in the distance.

The experience lasted about 20 seconds

The cat re-appeared on February 16, 1973, with "burned" fur and acting jittery. Shortly afterwards both the dog and cat died.

During the experience, the witness noticed a tingling sensation in the legs. After the encounter, the researcher Peter Romaniuk interviewed Maceiras.

Maceiras told Romaniuk that he (Maceiras) suffered physical symptoms; headaches, diarrhea, nausea, hair loss, and had difficulty speaking.

He also had burning eyes (emitting strange tears, with very fine threads in their interior, such as hairs 2 to 3 cm long).

Later, his vision improved considerably, and he stopped wearing his glasses.

Ventura Maceiras was practically illiterate, lived alone and had no television.

He had never been to the cinema and did not know anything about the UFO phenomenon.

The researchers were amazed by the ability of Maceiras, in just 20 seconds, to memorize a lot of information (in an anomalous situation) about the appearance of a flying saucer, its occupants, and interior (including colors and sounds).

The symbols observed inside the UFO, especially the "seahorse with the crown" indicate the product of the unconscious of the witness, as determined by the researchers who interviewed Maceiras,

It is also very strange that, for example, the distance at which the witness was from the object, he was able to observe that the tube on the helmet, joined with the "parachute" -- because physically, it would have been impossible for him to see it. Unless, we admit, as maintained by the Theory of Distortion, the "vision" is produced directly in the brain (such as dreams and hallucinations) and therefore the human eye is not limited to the conditions of reality.

In dreams we see “inexplicable" forms of tiny objects, or things in the distance, appearing clear, or even things that are behind us.

Even stranger is that Ventura Maceiras perfectly saw through the window, the controls of the object and in the background, a "flag" with a sea horse, which had a small crown on its head.

Also, Distortion Theory explains why the details would be easily remembered because the stimulation and direct production in the brain facilitates the assimilation and recall.

FROM PRUNIO TO THE MIND

Subsequently, on February 24, 1973, Ventura Maceiras said he again saw the crew of the UFO (not flying saucer).

He was inside his house when a tall-statured humanoid with wavy hair, slanted eyes, wearing a one-piece suit with a belt containing a small box with button-like protrusions appeared.

The humanoid called himself "Arnoil" and said he came from the planet "Prunio", located in the center of the Milky Way.

After a long conversation, where they talked about different issues, from the propulsion of ships, to the religion practiced on "Prunio,” the alien pressed a button on the box and disappeared, totally in an instant.

After his encounter, Maceiras started talking about different issues involving the universe, the operation of flying saucers, philosophy, et cetera.

Without doubt, the side effects of such interactions with the "outsider" during the experience connects with the brain, resulting in multiple sensory phenomena (hallucinations) that develop later as part of the effects of the distortion process.

This would explain the "quaint" and "insane" claims and statements of some witnesses after their close encounters.

This does not mean that some of the secondary experiences are the products of a subsequent contact with the "external agent" but is in another area, away from the "physical" occurring on a mental level only.
