Uruguayan Air Force X-Files disclosure June,2009
After UK, Denmark, Sweden nowThe Uruguayan Air Force (FAU) high command has declassified its files
and allowed EL PAIS (The National Newspaper) to access its UFO records
and eyewitness accounts.. While the Air Force commission that studies
these cases has been operating for only a few decades, the UFO
phenomenon in Uruguay began in 1947, and continues a rich history of
seeing UFOs, according to Col. Ariel Sanchez, an Air Force officer with
33 years of active service and who presides over the UFO commission.
The agency operates out of a small office in downtown Montevideo and
has a computer database and print archives.
are hundreds of files in green binders under the heading
“Confidential”, containing eyewitness accounts, photographs, sketches,
drawings, documents and evaluations made by officials. The files
consist of reports that accrue at a rate of 100 cases per year with
2100 solid reports the commission has researched and dismissed many for
various reasons. Thirty years after research began, forty cases remain
unexplained. These files have been kept open, and range from sightings and landings of alleged craft to abductions, where people claim to have been kidnapped by extraterrestrial entities.
The
military commission’s task is to compile a record of cases and draft
guidelines or conclusions regarding their veracity and origin. They
have obtained solid results: “The commission managed to determine
modifications to the chemical composition of the soil where landings
were reported. It could be a phenomenon that occurs in the lower
sectors of the atmosphere, the landing of aircraft from a foreign air
force, up to the extraterrestrial hypothesis. It could be a monitoring
probe from outer space, much in the same way that we send probes to
explore distant worlds,” stated the officer.
“The
UFO phenomenon exists and I must stress that the Air Force does not
dismiss an extraterrestrial hypothesis based on our scientific
analysis,” said Col. Sanchez. The Uruguayan Air Force has now
declassified all of its information and only the identity of the
witnesses remains undisclosed. In a case in the Department of Durazno,
a witness reported a UFO landing and
soil analysis showed an increase in the values of minerals such as
chrome, manganese, phosphorus and carbon, enabling researchers to
conclude that the event had indeed been real.
In
another case two reddish spheres, flew silently over the heads of two
teamsters driving cattle. The objects moved at high speed in opposite
directions and the vanished toward the west at high speed. UFOs are
most likely to be seen in February, March, July and October in Uruguay.
In February of 2009, the commission received numerous reports
accompanied by digital photographs.
Unsolved
cases have a considerable high strangeness quotient for example, the
1986, pursuit by two Pucara jet fighters over the Palmar Dam in
response to the maneuvers of a luminous sphere. The pilots chased it
and were about to intercept it, when the sphere flew off at a dizzying
rate of speed toward Argentina. When the pilots returned to their base,
the sphere reappeared over the dam. They chase it again and it vanished
from sight, changing colors from red to yellow.
A
similar case occurred to a group of military pilots in 1996, engaged in
exercises over the Santa Bernardina Base in Durazno. They saw two
luminous spheres at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), whose presence was
corroborated by the airport’s control tower. When the objects flew
away, they maintained their shape and luminosity, which enabled the
spherical shape to be confirmed. Minutes later, the pilots noticed
their glow diminished, and only their outline was illuminated.
In
1979, a crew of a commercial airline was pursued by a powerful light
that was photographed by passengers and remains unexplained. The Air
Force also has visual reports of a dozen mutilated animals that may be
related to Argentina, where 700 mutilated animals were found. FAU does
not dismiss the possibility of an extraterrestrial event. Military
statistics show that most people reporting sightings involve young men
up to 45 years of age. They also indicate that cases occur in the early
hours of the evening, 49% of statistics are made up of reports of
luminous spheres; barely 2% include occupant sightings. Also several
cases of the abduction of humans remain unexplained. One of them
occurred in Playa Pascual in 1980 and involved a camper, who was
suddenly taken by surprise by short beings who immobilized him and
conveyed him to a vehicle, where he was subjected to a medical
examination. Another “missing time” case involved a family that was
driving along the road when an aircraft flew over their vehicle and
landed in front of them. They were unable to account for what had
occurred to them for several minutes.
