Strange Object Caught on Cellphone in Argentina

Sep 4th in UFO Phenomenon by

ovnimendoza-tri

A man living in the village El Nihuil in Argentina reported seeing a UFO and took photos of the object with his cellphone.

UPDATE: reader lonstrickler has pointed out that this looks very much like a crack in a vehicle’s windscreen. I for one agree – Ben

The man, who wants his identity kept secret for fear of public ridicule, sent the images to a local publication after it promised to safeguard his identity.

According to the report the sighting occurred last Saturday near the local Nautical club when the witness went to the coast to check on fishing conditions

He claims that while trying to photograph the object, it began to emit a buzzing sound as if blowing against the water, before continuing to rise. No mention is made of whether the object continued to hover there, flew away, or simply disappeared.

More pics after the jump.

Lon from Phantoms and Monsters has made some enhancements of the images (seen above) and added the following update on the blog:

I attempted to enhance the images…too bad the quality wasn’t better. Hard to tell the size of this object and there was no mention in the report. There was a later story in Diario San Rafael today and it seems an investigation is being conducted…Lon

    military test gone wrong probably

    This looks similar to the drones reported in California , USA. The pictures here are not as sharp as the ones posted online a couple of years ago.

    But the buzzing noises are similar. It is thought by some to be some kind of electrostatic propulsion.

    Somehow UFOs attract people with shaky hands and crappy cameras.

    This thing looks like it's something really small, really close to the camera lens.

    Unfortunatelly videos ontinue to be crappy.

    I agree. It does look very close to the lens. It looks like an object thrown momentarily and then snapped while in the air…. but wouldn't the motion cause serious blur from a cell phone camera?

    Thats the first thing I thought as well.

  • bluealien

    It looks a bit like a dog running along the beach…but moved up a bit.

    It's so hard to tell…it is very pixelated.

    Hmmmm… not convinced by this, looks likely to be a kite or hand-glider maybe???

    dontbelieve put: 'Somehow UFOs attract people with shaky hands and crappy cameras'

    the same could be said for how they filmed the last Bond movie – all shaky cam / cant see a thing :-D

    Looks suspiciously like a bad angled shot of the BD-5J similar to that used in a James Bond movie.

    …after looking at these images off and on since last evening, I have a sense that these were close-up shots of a cracked car window. Notice how the object stays on the same plane and the details don't vary regardless of the background. Any thoughts?

  • refresher

    Got to agree with Ionstrickler looks like a chip in a windscreen that has caused a few eminating cracks, I have the same in my car!

    Good call! I was looking for a pic of a kite that would match this design but the crack in a windscreen seems so obvious now.

    i am personally a believer, in ets that is. i really whole heartedly believe they are out there. still images such as these do not support this belief and in fact do little more than discourage me. it is too bad so many people out there find so much pleasure in posting images that are dubious at best and mostly just mockable. these images make the whole world of ufo / et enthusiasts look like clowns. clowns are cool in their own right. they dress up, put on the funny (or sad) faces and drive around in overstuffed small cars. you know as tom robbins points out in 'half asleep in frog pajamas' there is an unusual tendency for really really large people to drive really really small cars. well it is sort of the same thing with clowns. they all get together, like 10 of 'em, and pack their asses into a ford feista and drive around until they find some poor unsuspecting crowd. at which point they pull over and all emerge from the car and do fancy tricks to amuse and amazing the startled individuals who happen to be being visually assaulted by these rouges in dashing colors. really it all comes full circle bask to the aliens and ufos which really, if you think a bout it, are not that much different.

    wow, really keen observation and i almost agree. however, i am sticking with my 'clown' hypothesis.

    I agree , you can see a small spec of dirt on the glass at the 5 O'clock position, that stays with the “UFO” regardless of the background. It is a stone chip on a windshield/windscreen,that is beyond repair as well. I hope the photographer profited enough to replace it. :)

    I think the crack-in-the-windshield theory is probably the closest to the truth. Also, I am sooooo happy MU is back! My life has been missing something without it. <3
