A Similar Case

We can provide, as an example of a similar occurrence, an incident that took place 120 km from Necochea, where the Estancia La Dulce events befell the Arias family in August 1978.

It occurred in the early days of January 1988, when Leonardo Fuster and his friend Gabriel (surname unknown), both 18, residents of the La Serena district of Mar del Plata, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, were leaving a get-together at a friend's house and were walking around a corner in the cited district, when they became witnesses to an anomalous event.

The time was nearly 1:00 a.m. when Gabriel saw a white light coming from the Peralta Ramos forest. It was about 100 meters away, the light was larger in size than a star and looked much like a streetlight, according to the witnesses. The object was making circular and zigzagging movements at high speed, not making any sound whatsoever.

They were staring at for a minute until Leonardo told his friend:
"Quit staring at it."

They continued to walk and talk until a powerful beam of white light approached them and engulfed them, leaving them completely blinded. Moments later, the beam turned off and a kind of multicolored fog or smoke began to emerge; after it dispersed, a small creature appeared. Gabriel used his jacket to cover his face and not see any more, since he was frightened, while Leonardo continued to look.

The being, or "the thing" as they called it, was between 50 and 60 cm tall, brown-colored and had two square red eyes. It had no arms, legs, hands, nose, mouth ... no other feature aside from the eyes.

The creature floated in the air over the edge of the sidewalk. It moved toward Gabriel and then toward Leonardo, fixing its stare on him. The creature was some 3 meters distant.

Gabriel told his friend Leonardo: "Quit looking at it, leave it" but Leonardo's gaze was riveted. At that moment, the multicolored fog reappeared and covered the being, causing it to vanish. The white beam of light also came back, blinding the two teenagers. Gabriel reached out to touch Leonardo, thinking that his friend had been spirited away. Leonardo said no, and both saw the source of the light: a large circular, silvery object with several windows. The light that had blinded them retreated into the object. The object's windows revealed the presence of creatures moving back and forth, black in color.

The UFO was over some properties at a distance of 8 and 10 meters. It later took off at an impressive rate of speed toward the Peralta Ramos forest. A buzzing similar to the sound of wind could be heard as the object departed.

At the end of the experience, Leonardo asked Gabriel for the time and the latter replied in astonishment that it was now 5:30 a.m.! Four and a half hours had elapsed while they observed the creature, although to them, the experience had lasted only a few minutes.

Leonardo experienced painful stomachache and dark colored vomit when he returned home, according to his mother.

The next day they discussed their experience and local residents told them that seeing "strange lights" was quite common. They were startled by a powerful electric storm that took place in the area, causing power outages. A few days later, Leonardo and his mother would witness other phenomena in the sky, involving objects moving in different directions.

The similarities between this case and the experiences of the Arias family are remarkable.

• · The beams of light aimed against the witnesses as the start of the event.

• · An oval shaped object with windows in both incidents. The object is highly similar in both cases.

• · Entities having rather similar characteristics in both cases, despite the fact that Estancia La Dulce case involved two beings, while there was only one in La Serena. However, these were amorphous silhouettes lacking arms, legs, noses and mouths - only the glowing eyes in both cases.

In the Arias case "the bulbs appeared to make up the face of these silhouettes." They were two red lights. "The thing" also had two red, square eyes.

Leonardo Fuster had the impression that it was "a robot", a lifeless thing that was sent to do research. To Manuel Arias, "they do whatever they want and then leave..."

In both cases, the entities floated over the ground. Their heights were between 0.70 cm to 1 meter in the first case and between 0.50 to 0.60 cm in the other.

As far as animals are concerned no strange behavior was recorded, or at least not noticed.

We can also mention the storms as related phenomena, as they occurred during one case and hours later in the other. There is also the power outage in the Arias case and the power outage days later in the La Serena events.

Although we have records that a power interruption occurred in the Necochea-Mar Del Plata system during the first days of January, it should be noted that the witnesses are unclear as to the exact date of the events they experienced. However, they state that it occurred in the first week of January, according to Leonardo and Gabriel.

After the events in the La Serena case, both Gabriel and Leonardo felt much better, as though endowed with more energy. This lasted approximately two days. Only Leonardo Fuster had complaints after he returned home. In both cases, the experiencers became witnesses to other events, such as the UFO sightings of Mrs. Arias and Leonardo Fuster and his mother.

Other witnesses also reported various UFO manifestations in Necochea and Mar del Plata before, during and after the events described. We are faced, without a doubt, with two very important incidents that occurred only a few kilometers away from each other...two encounters with UFOs involving the presence of amorphous entities, with reliable witnesses having very similar characteristics, being recorded thus within the global case histories of the phenomenon: the Estancia La Dulce in Necochea and the Barrio La Serena cases, both of them occuring in the southeastern coast of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
