* Several witnesses were treated to the sight of strange lights. "It moved slowly and suddenly made a turn, making a rapid course change," said a local resident.
* Strange lights were seen last night over the [provincial] capital, said numerous witnesses who contacted this paper's newsroom. The incident occured at approximately 21:30 hours.

It has not been possible to determine the origin of the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) up to now, although various informants agreed in their stories about what they were able to see. "My mother saw a white, somewhat dim light that made a rapid turn and changed course swiftly," said a resident of Yerba Buena.

Non-official sources told LA GACETA On Line that airport records do not show any flights over the skies of Tucumán at that time, with the exception of a landing by Austral AU2470, although the flight did not pass over the capital.

Another witness noted that the had seen an unidentified flying object "that moved in an irregular maner" and then disappeared.
