Background

Zeuge und anfängliche Sichtung At 6:45 a.m., Juan O. Perez, aged 12, was riding to collect horses near Venado Tuerto, Argentina. He sensed an object above, then saw multiple crafts maneuvering and emitting beams of changing colors. His horse bolted in panic, forcing him to return home; his father sent him back.

Landung und Begegnung Returning, he found a large domed object with windows on the ground. A door opened, revealing a 7-foot-tall entity in gloves and cylindrical helmet, connected by breathing tube. It gestured for Perez to enter. He tied his panicking horse to a protruding ladder, but it injured its leg kicking the craft.

Im Inneren des Objekts Inside, Perez observed button panels and tables. A robot-like figure processed animal bones. An invisible barrier blocked touch attempts on the being or items. He exited; the tall entity followed.

Interaktion und Nachwirkungen Perez requested a glove for proof; the entity revealed a green claw-hand with blue metallic nails, then pricked his right arm, drawing blood. En route home with the glove, two objects appeared, deploying a slab and sphere that magnetically reclaimed it. The arm wound seeped fluid for years, leaving a scar; at age 18, it led to military unfitness due to his account. Post-event, he experienced prophetic dreams of disasters. The case featured in 2018 documentary 'Witness of Another World' by Alan Stivelman.
