One witness managed to capture the moment: it was renowned aviator Tony Galvagno, the protagonist of the 1990's incident near the town of Joaquin V. Gonzalez promoted as the "Argentinean Roswell", with domestic and international repercussions. According to accounts of what happened, the "vessel" remained suspended in the air for nearly half an hour – between 7:30 pm and 8 pm. On Saturday afternoon, during prayers, we saw a strange formation between the mountains, similar to a massive UFO. Being dark, because the sun was behind it, we did not pay it much attention, supposing that it was merely a cloud, says Galvagno. However, he explains that after a few minutes went by, and as daylight fade, metallic flashes began to emerge from the object, making Galvagno and his family – and hundreds of tourists walking the town square – certain that it was not a plain and simple cumulus nimbus, but a vessel. I commented it with other people, as the object remained suspended in the sky, and we all agreed that at nightfall, it revealed the perfect, well-defined and metallic lines of a UFO. And it vanished thus, before the eyes of hundreds of onlookers, said the pilot.' | Location: Cachi, Salta Province, Argentina | Date: April 30 2011 - 7:30 PM | Duration: 30 minutes | UFO Shape: Saucer | Photographer: Tony Galvagno / Aviator | Source/Credit: www.contexto.com.ar / www.eltribuno.com.ar
