ARGENTINA: STRANGE SPHERE SEEN TWICE OVER SANTA ROSA
by Raul Oscar Chaves

Two eye witnesses-Julieta Pereyra and Cristina Diaz-walking along downtown Santa Rosa (La Pampa, Argentina) noticed the movement of a spherical object of a light grey color that stood out for its shape: presenting two protrusions or extensions shaped like a bow or a "U" on its upper section, with its tips pointing upward.

The witnesses stated that the strange object was seen some seventy degrees over the horizon and to the northeast of the city, descending vertically. Their view of the object was hampered by the city's buildings.

Regarding its size, they said that it was "as wide as a hand, with the arm outstreched", specifying that the sighting took place "at 12 noon on April 11, 2005 on a very beautiful and clear day."

On April 15, 2005 at 1600 hours, Lorena Urban and Matias Bonifacino witnessed a spherical object moving east from the west over Santa Rosa, and some 30 degrees over the horizon.

They noted that the object "was shaped like the full moon and had a glassy or shiny appearance, with two projections shaped like an open "U" , remakring that the base of this sphere was flat.

The witnesses added that some sort of "belt" could be seen in the sphere's midsection and some sort of opening or "door" on its side, also having a glassy appearance but darker grey in color.

The Mothman Prophecies
  - John A. Keel

West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare that culminates in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel, arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery...Translated into over thirteen languages, John Keel's unsettling account of what he encountered in Point Pleasant has long been regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained and is now the basis of a major motion picture.
