Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 Time: 9:00pm Local Time Location: Just North of La Loberia, Coastal Village on Atlantic Ocean, Northern Patagonia, Argentina What was observed: My wife and I both saw a dark grey boomerang shaped aircraft flying due East over the beach toward the Atlantic Ocean and eventually disappearing into the horizon over the ocean. It was a clear, calm night about one hour after sunset and I was the first person to spot the craft directly over head (90 degrees above the horizon) and my wife was the second to see the object seconds later in front of us (about 45 degrees above the horizon) while we were walking due East on the beach toward the ocean. I saw the dark boomerang-shaped object for approximately 8 seconds and my wife saw it for about 4 seconds. The object was completely silent and was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed but did not appear to be accelerating. The object completely disappeared into the horizon very quickly and had two, very dim red lights on the bottom-side of what appeared to be the wing-tips or “ends” of the boomerang. It was difficult to assess the altitude of the vehicle,! but we both estimated it could have been between 250 to 500 meters above the ground. The size of the object was also very difficult to ascertain but it was quite large as the event happened so quickly. I don’t think many people really understand how difficult it really is to approximate altitude or size of objects when these events occur so quickly during the night like a flash in time and with no time to react to perhaps take a photo or video with our phones. I am not sure even if we had the wherewithal to snap a photo if it would have even registered due to the darkness of both the night and the object and the remarkable dim red lights of what might be described as a nearly dead battery powering these two points of light at both ends of the object. I am an engineer and a former surveyor and I have had previous training in distance, angles, measurements, and orienteering prior to the use of the most modern technology, but I still am having difficulty with the size, altitu! de and velocity of what we saw that night flying through the s! ky. What ever it was, we both thought it was not of this world. It is also worth mentioning that the night sky was completely clear and star-lit, with the milky-way starting to become visible toward the East over the Atlantic Ocean; however, there was still a small amount of light over the western horizon from the recent sunset. There was no moon or artificial light present during our sighting and we were truly amazed at what we saw together as this was the first type of observation of this nature for either of us. It is important to note that we live in a village where we see almost no commercial air traffic and due to the coronavirus pandemic almost all flights have been grounded in Argentina due to government restrictions. When we do see aircrafts, this may occur once per week (or sometimes once per month) and they are typically flying at cruising altitude maybe at 8000 meters (very, very high above sea level) and what we saw that night was nothing like a commercial aircraft with ! exhaust trails taking minutes to traverse the sky and only observable during daylight.
