*Date: August 1967.*

Photo taken at Aeroparque, August 1967, by Miguel Lugones, the witness did not see the UFO, the negatives were sent to the Armed Forces, but were never returned to Lugones. (https://preview.redd.it/5u0pb8x8cpj81.jpg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=…)

*It was the magazine* "2001 Periodismo de Anticipación" (https://ahira.com.ar/revistas/2001-periodismo-de-anticipacion/)*, published in Buenos Aires, who as a result of the case of* José Miguel Lugones (https://scontent.fnqn1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/1001163_187806114…) *professor at the University of La Plata,* published (https://ahira.com.ar/ejemplares/2001-periodismo-de-anticipacion-no-22/) *in its pages the incident under the title "UN FANTASMA EN EL CIELO" ("A GHOST IN THE SKY"), referring to the black and white photo of an "invisible" UFO captured on the afternoon of August 13, 1967, which led to the subsequent intervention of two military forces of the then de facto government: Air Force and the Argentine Navy, through the Naval Air Base of Punta Indio:*

*"A GHOST IN THE SKY"*

*"CASE: PHOTOGRAPH OF A UFO OVER AEROPARQUE".*

*"When on August 13, 1967 José Miguel Lugones, an amateur photographer, student of Pharmacy at the University of La Plata, pointed his 120 "Grado-sol" camera at instantaneous speed and captured the plane perched on the runway, he did not know that he had entered the frontier of mystery.*

*When developing the roll of 8 plates, in one of them appears a strange and inexplicable "stain". His hobby, that of photographing and collecting photos of aircraft, had a rare prize, capturing a UFO.*

*Intrigued, he wrote to the UFO Division of the Argentine Air Force, requesting the negative and copies for his study, and was attended by Chief Warrant Officer Roeder Moyano. In April 1968 they returned the material to him sending him a letter, from which we reproduce concepts. The text is eloquent. A flight tower operator friend recommended him to connect with the authorities of the Punta Indio Naval Air Base. They ask him for the negative returned by Aeronautics and send him the "UFO Form". In a later letter he is thanked for sending this evidence.*

*Lugones wrote twice requesting information about the results, but Marina has not answered so far. The negative is in official possession. The problem still remains, Lugones believes he has captured a UFO. As a coincidence, the "Razón" published on September 10, 1968 an article in which a photograph taken in the North appears. The object is similar."*

Villa Reynolds Airport, November 18, 2005 - While military exercises were being carried out. Captain Sergio Figueroa was able to obtain photos of the same without noticing anything abnormal.

Bariloche, April 14, 1978. (https://preview.redd.it/isgoaqjedpj81.jpg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=…)

*By 1978,* José Gabriel de Virgilio (https://elcordillerano1.cdn.net.ar/252/elcordillerano/images/68/86/68…) *, 13 years old, who was in his first year of high school, lived with his parents and his three brothers.*

*On the afternoon of April 14, the boy left school and went home. After three o'clock in the afternoon, he found himself alone and with nothing to do, so he chose to read a little. "I went to get a magazine out of a magazine rack we had next to a window, which faced the Otto. When I bend down, I look up and I find three objects, three UFOs that were there, in front of my house."*

*"They were like three inverted plates, hat-shaped and silver-colored, which were suspended in the air, forming a triangle. There was one at the top, one at the bottom and the other at the side, a little higher, and they were passing each other, changing places between them. They were rotating places in that triangle."*

*"Suddenly, one of them went quickly up and to the left, as if to the back of the hill. Two of them remained. Then one went up and there was only one left. It was about fifteen or twenty minutes, until I remembered that we had a simple camera that my parents used to take pictures of us in the bicycle races we used to run with my cousins. I looked for it, and triggered it. Then in the negative, you can see that there are two veiled photos and the last one on the roll is the one that came out".*

*"That UFO was the last one to leave, it did so in a staggered way, ascending until it was lost in the clouds."*

*Fun fact: An envoy from NASA, after doing the corresponding investigation, asked to take the negatives with him. But the request was not accepted by the De Virgilio family.*

*The UFO was coming from the West towards the Sea side (towards the East).*

*The camera used was a Praktica Pentacon camera with Kodak roll film, the UFO was silver and reflected the sunlight but for some reason, in the photo it came out black.*

*This photo had the privilege of appearing in the famous American series "The X Files".*

*In one of the scenes of the second episode of the series, agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are in a bar called "The Flying Saucer" in SW Idaho, near an enigmatic air base (the Ellens Air Base). Adorning the place are several UFO photos, one of which is the one taken at Punta Cuevas.*

Date: July 3, 1960.

Yacanto de Calamuchita, July 3, 1960. (https://preview.redd.it/svbhwqsrepj81.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=…)

It is considered one of the best documented records on UFOs in Argentina. Not only because of the photograph in which one of these objects can be seen, but also because of the technical details provided by the person who saw it. It was the captain of the Argentine Air Force, Luis Niotti. The particularity, in this case, which occurred in the mountains of this area, is that it is considered the first photograph of an unidentified flying object in this country.

In July 1960, the captain of the Argentine Air Force, Luis Niotti, was traveling north on Route 36 in the area of Villa General Belgrano, Córdoba, when he observed an object at low altitude. With his 35 mm camera he took a picture and saw the object moving away. The image was studied by the Aeronautical Information Service (SIO), which determined its authenticity.

Niotti also gave details of the shape of the apparatus:

"Object shape: conical, with a horizontal axis throughout. Size: three to four meters in diameter, by six to eight meters in height (https://codigocba.com/uploads/images/image_750x_616e3e2362937.jpg) (axis). Color: dark gray or brownish; opaque. Speed: Five to seven kilometers per hour, with a final rapid acceleration, which brought it to about two hundred kilometers per hour, in three seconds, more or less."

The Air Force itself, about the sighting and the image taken by Niotti, would explain that the gray color of the object, which the then captain photographed, "could be attributed to the sensitization of the photographic film by the influence of radiations not included in the luminous spectrum and of unknown nature."

A 35 mm camera and 21º DIN film was used, with a 2.8 diaphragm and 1/60 of a second speed, with the distance indicator at infinity.
