The wave of UFO sightings in Chile continues to be ongoing since
it began on mid February. On March 21, several flying objects
were observed at around noon in the area of Providencia, in
Santiago. According to many eyewitnesses and television footage,
the object appeared along with a group of lights in the
northeast part of the city.
A television camera crew interviewed several eyewitnesses.
According to them, the object was very big, circular in shape,
very bright, and it seemed to be accompanied by other smaller
objects. Some eyewitness reported seeing up to seven objects
around it. The smaller objects appeared to be spheres.
Roberto Rasse was one of the eyewitnesses. "At first, I didn't
know what to make of it. It was strange because it happened
right when the war with Iraq started. I called a friend of mine
that knows about UFOs and told him to bring his binoculars. When
he saw it using the binoculars, he said that there were many
smaller objects around it, around 50 of them. Then, it flew away
very rapidly," he said. After taking a better look with the
binoculars, Cristian Aguirre, said that the main object did not
appear to be solid.
It appeared to change shape. According to some reports, the air
force said that the objects were not seen on radar.
On the day before, another UFO was seen in the city of Calama.
An eyewitness by the name of Rodrigo Castillo reported seeing
the flying object when he was driving from Calama to the
neighboring city of Antofagasta, in northern Chile. According to
him, the object followed his truck for about two minutes.
"It was about nine o'clock at night. As I was driving, I noticed
a very bright object in the sky. It suddenly began to get closer
to my truck.
It had an intense brightness. It continued following me for
about two minutes.
I stopped the truck, and the object kept on moving in the
direction I was traveling. It did not emit any sound. It was not
an airplane because it was very quiet. After I stopped, it was
gone within seconds," said Castillo.
