February 7, 1963

At 6:30pm on February 7, 1963, Sr. Felix Carrizo and his wife were driving their NSU Prinz automobile westward on Route #5 from Buenos Aires toward La Pampa. They had been driving steadily for some time and pulled off the road for a short rest stop near Alberti Heights. It was then that Senora Carrizo noticed a strange aerial vehicle drifting their way. It was a stupendous craft, floating at a steeply inclined angle to the horizon. It was inclined at about 80 degrees above the horizon, sloping only ten degrees from zenith, and was drifting in the air about one hundred meters above the trees. Carrizo estimated the slender cigar-shaped object to be about 200 meters long and 20 meters in diameter. As it got closer he could see that it had a silvery-gray color, and was cylindrical in shape, with a row of six rectangular "windows" along the side which were brightly lighted from inside. The second and third "windows" from the upper end glowed brighter than the others. The light from these panels was so intense that it hurt the eyes to look directly at them. Remembering that his camera, an Alpha-Alnea, was in the trunk of the car, Felix ran to get it, readied it and took one photograph of the machine.
