Pedro Araneda is a Chilean journalist, correspondent, and lecturer known for his involvement in early reporting on UFO incidents in Chile. In 1977, he received a detailed account from Corporal Armando Valdés, leader of a military patrol in Pampa Lluscuma near Arica, who claimed a five-day abduction by a UFO, including anomalous beard growth and time distortion. Araneda documented these details approximately two hours after the event, contributing to one of South America's most notable UFO cases. No birth or death years are known. His role was pivotal in disseminating the story amid widespread Chilean sightings and government restrictions on interviews by President Pinochet. No specific publications by Araneda are noted, but his testimony helped elevate the case's profile in ufology.
