UAP Stops Aircraft over Bariloche, Argentina

What was reported

Reported by Ruth Gerstel; the year is not printed but this is the well-known 1995 incident. On approach to Bariloche at 20:25 a Boeing 737 had to break off as the airport lost power; ten minutes later, lined up again, all four men in the cockpit were dazzled by a dish-shaped object turned upside down, an orange light pulsing on top and green rays from either side. It raced at them and halted about 100 metres ahead. The tower knew only of a Gendarmerie aircraft 200 metres above, whose pilot said he could see it too and it was following them. On the next approach it sat 40 to 60 metres to the right as if escorting; a second blackout then hit the whole city and radio contact died. Polanco climbed to 1000 metres; the object rose at 90 degrees in under two seconds, hovered, then on the next descent crossed beneath and vanished. The 737 landed at 21:10. Major Oviedo confirmed the tower saw the light; the Air Force and civil aviation said nothing.

In their words

• We saw something like a reversed flying saucer, as large as a Boeing 737, and with an enormous light that dazzled us.

• It was nothing corresponding to the laws of physics we know

• In the 15 years I've been flying, I've never seen anything like it.
