A massive luminous craft appeared over Campamento Vespucio, Argentina in July 2002, shutting down cars and phones while dozens of residents watched from the streets. The object, which witnesses described as matching the size and shape of a rugby ball, hovered motionless above the San Antonio mountain range for forty minutes before accelerating westward at speeds that left observers stunned.
The event, which occurred between 8:50 and 9:30 PM on Monday July 15th, impacted the entire community of Campamento Vespucio, located 350 kilometers north of the Saltan capital. This small town, once a major hydrocarbon production center, experienced widespread electronic disruptions as the UFO maintained its position over the tropical forested hills.
“The brightness was stunning,” reported one local resident who asked to remain unnamed in official statements. “When it first appeared, we felt amazed rather than frightened. That changed quickly once we noticed our phones had stopped working and cars throughout the neighborhood wouldn’t start.” The witness described how multiple vehicles experienced total electrical failure, with neither engines nor lights responding to attempts to activate them.
Three kilometers from the town center, in an area known as Tablillas, a small community of former oil workers and their families had already documented similar craft appearances dating back to 1999. The Olima family, with their thirteen children, has maintained detailed records of these incidents over the years.
Gabriel Olima, 22, worked as a beekeeper and mechanic after economic hardship forced him to leave his engineering studies. He described the predictable nature of the appearances: “Since 1999, we’ve tracked these objects appearing consistently. They show up specifically during July and August – never in other months. People dismissed our reports at first, but the patterns became impossible to ignore.”
The timing followed strict schedules, according to Gabriel’s brother Fabian, 24. “These objects operate like clockwork, arriving between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. They stay in position for exactly forty minutes before leaving at speeds we can’t even comprehend.” The brothers emphasized how the July 2002 event marked a significant change, with the object approaching closer to populated areas than ever before.
