Arnoldo Rivera is one non-scientist who has seen unusual objects descend to the plateau. The Buenos Aires native and ex-pilot was on a hiking expedition in the area when he saw something he is unlikely to forget.
'I was hiking in the foothills on Hoste island when I saw this enormous glowing object descend into the mountains.' Arnold described the object as 'brilliant blue' rather than yellow as described above. 'I don't know if it was an alien spaceship but it was not of this earth'.
'As a pilot I never saw anything strange in the sky but heard many stories. Now I believe some of them' concluded Arnoldo. What is the purpose of this UFO base? It is known that earth lies near some form of galactic highway or trajectory and that an exit off this 'highway' exists in Brazil. Is this base nothing more mysterious that the galactic equivalent of a roadside motel where weary alien travellers can rest before moving on?
