Leading researcher Fernando Hildebrandt exposes secret UFO cases across Argentina in an eye-opening investigation that reveals compelling evidence of unexplained aerial encounters throughout the country. From military confrontations and commercial airline incidents to mysterious encounters in rural settings, Hildebrandt's extensive research sheds light on Argentina's rich history of UFO activity.


Hildebrandt’s insights reveal a complex web of official responses, apparent cover-ups, and the establishment of specialized reporting systems for aviation professionals, while highlighting several geographical hotspots where unusual phenomena frequently occur.



Baya Blanca 2023

A dramatic and concerning encounter at Argentina’s Baya Blanca naval base in September 2023 marked one of the country’s most significant recent UFO incidents, characterized by direct military engagement and subsequent institutional attempts to suppress information. According to Fernando Hildebrandt’s detailed investigation, the event began during a routine nighttime training exercise when military personnel observed an unidentified object hovering directly above the base. The situation escalated quickly when the commanding general, facing an unknown threat in restricted airspace, issued an immediate order to shoot down the object.

The ensuing engagement resulted in at least one soldier being hospitalized for a week after attempting to shootdown the object and the object shooting back, though the specific nature of their injuries remains classified. Base personnel reported that the object demonstrated extraordinary maneuverability during the encounter, with witnesses describing unusual aerial movements that defied conventional aircraft capabilities. The incident was further complicated by reports from multiple witnesses who observed mysterious lights emerging from the surrounding waters near the base, suggesting a possible connection between the aerial phenomena and underwater activity.

In the aftermath, military officials launched what appears to be a coordinated effort to control the narrative. Their first explanation attributed the incident to a planned army training exercise. However, this account quickly unraveled when base employees, including a mechanic who was on duty that night, confirmed that no such exercise had been scheduled or authorized. When this cover story failed, military spokespersons pivoted to claim the activity was related to navy helicopter operations, but this explanation also proved inconsistent with base records and witness accounts.

América Latina por Aeroespacios Seguros (ALAS) was established in the last year as a groundbreaking initiative to provide commercial pilots across Latin America with a secure platform for reporting unidentified aerial phenomena. Founded in response to increasing reports of unexplained encounters by aviation professionals, ALAS operates under the leadership of Pablo Ducau, who himself experienced a remarkable encounter while piloting a commercial flight.

Ducau’s personal experience as a pilot significantly influenced ALAS’s formation. During a routine flight from Patagonia to Buenos Aires, he encountered an unidentified object that approached his aircraft from the right before positioning itself directly above the plane, illuminating the cabin. When he attempted to report this incident to the Argentina Air Force, he faced significant resistance and received persistent messages from an unknown source attempting to dismiss his experience as a mere satellite sighting. And according to Mr. Hildebrandt the Air Force burned the UFO report.


ALAS’s primary mission is to build a comprehensive database of pilot encounters while providing aviation professionals with a stigma-free environment to share their experiences. The organization has expanded its reach beyond Argentina, now working with pilots from Peru, Uruguay, Mexico, and Chile. Within its first year of operation, ALAS has documented numerous cases, including significant encounters near uranium facilities and instances of objects demonstrating capabilities far beyond conventional aircraft.

ALAS Case

During a routine Aerolíneas Argentinas Flight 1665, crew members reported to ALAS observing peculiar lights approximately 60 kilometers from Bariloche. The object first appeared at a distance but quickly captured the crew’s attention as it began performing precise circular patterns above a uranium processing facility. The pilots observed the object executing maneuvers that defied conventional aircraft capabilities, maintaining a consistent circular flight path while hovering over the sensitive nuclear installation. The behavior was particularly noteworthy as it aligned with a documented pattern of UFO activity near nuclear facilities. During the encounter, the flight crew attempted to establish radio contact but received no response from the object. The incident was formally reported through both airline and air traffic control channels, but like many similar cases, faced institutional resistance.

Air traffic control recordings and radar data from the time of the incident reportedly corroborated the crew’s observations, though official attempts were made to explain away the encounter as satellite activity. The incident’s proximity to the uranium facility and the object’s precise flight patterns have made it a cornerstone case in Argentine UFO research, demonstrating the intersection of aerial phenomena with sensitive infrastructure.


Hotspots in Argentina

Argentina’s UFO hotspot activity centers primarily around three interconnected states: La Pampa, Neuquén, and Río Negro. This triangular region has garnered significant attention from researchers due to its unprecedented concentration of unexplained phenomena. Locals and investigators report frequent sightings of aerial objects, time distortions, and missing time experiences. A particularly intriguing aspect of this region involves the unusual behavior of local wildlife, specifically carrier pigeons. According to pigeon handlers, these birds consistently avoid certain areas within the hotspot, taking longer routes around specific zones even when it means extending their journey time significantly.

The region is characterized by diverse terrain, featuring plains, hills, and mountains to the west, creating a unique geographical setting for these phenomena. Fernando Hildebrandt has documented numerous cases of time anomalies in the area, including one notable incident where witnesses traveled what should have been a 15–20 minute journey in just four minutes, with one participant’s watch mysteriously stopping at their departure time. This should also be noted that the gas tanks lost no gas during the travel.


The Men in Black Encounter

During a sweltering Argentine summer day, a peculiar visitor arrived at Fernando Hildebrandt’s family home. The man, dressed in an unusually thick black suit and tie that seemed entirely inappropriate for the season’s intense heat, stood at their doorstep appearing oddly composed. Despite the temperature that typically left locals seeking shade and water, the visitor showed no signs of discomfort — no perspiration, no flushed face, and notably, never requested a drink during his lengthy stay. Initially, Fernando’s father assumed the man was a traveling salesman, common in during the time. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn as the visitor began asking detailed questions about the family’s UFO encounters, particularly focusing on the incident at their ranch years prior. The man and Fernando’s father talk for hours. His unnatural comfort in the stifling heat, combined with his specific interest in their extraterrestrial encounters, left a lasting impression on the family, marking their first experience with what they would later recognize as a Men in Black phenomenon.

Years after his father’s death, Hildebrandt’s mother encountered what appeared to be the same man at a marketing convention in Buenos Aires. The man was dressed identically to their previous appearance, carrying the same style briefcase, and approached her in a crowded setting. This encounter particularly disturbed her due to the exact similarity to the man who had interviewed her husband years earlier, right down to their same suit, mannerisms, and no signs of aging.


Through his own research, Hildebrandt discovered potential connections between these mysterious figures and CIA operations in Argentina. In conversations with researcher Fabio Zerpa, who had written extensively about Men in Black phenomena, Hildebrandt learned that many of these encounters likely involved intelligence operatives rather than the more fantastical descriptions often associated with Men in Black legends. This was further corroborated when Hildebrandt uncovered documents suggesting CIA presence in Argentina during the periods of these encounters.

The intimidation pattern continued into recent years. When a chief of security at Buenos Aires airport, shared UFO incident information with Hildebrandt, he received persistent messages from an anonymous source attempting to discredit the sightings and discourage further communication with researchers. These modern interactions suggested a shift from physical visits to more contemporary methods of discouragement and information control, though maintaining the same goal of suppressing UFO-related discussions.


Hildebrandt’s investigation led him to conclude that while the traditional image of Men in Black driving Cadillacs and wearing strange hats might be exaggerated, the reality was potentially more concerning — suggesting a network of well-positioned officials within government and security services working to manage and suppress information about UFO encounters in Argentina.


The Rich History

Argentina’s rich history of UFO phenomena continues to unfold through the diligent work of researchers like Fernando Hildebrandt, who has dedicated his career to documenting and investigating these mysterious encounters. From military engagements and commercial airline sightings to the enigmatic presence of Men in Black figures, Argentina stands as a crucial yet often overlooked center for UFO research. In his extensive interview with Cristina Gomez, Hildebrandt delves deeper into his personal experiences, including childhood encounters that shaped his investigative path, and presents numerous untold cases from across Argentina’s diverse landscape.
