Uritorco Mountain in Argentina: UFO base
PART ONE OF TWO
As a citizen of Argentina, I have made quite a few visits to the town of Capilla del Monte (population 8,000, elevation 3,000 feet) in the mountains of Córdoba province. The great mountain Uritorco (6,000 feet) close by the town is believed by many ufologists to be a UFO base, but it was not until January 1986 that an incident occurred which sparked off all the major interest.
Before the Spanish Conquest the mountain was considered sacred by the Comechingone Indians. Their oral tradition spoke of lights and cosmic bodies crossing the sky.
Physicist Professor José Alvarez López confirms strange events on Uritorco from the beginning of the 20th century such as:
1915 - His father-in-law don Oscar Correas when aged 12 went missing from home for two days and returned with tales of strange lights illuminating the terrain.
1928 - Mother of Romilio Rivero, 16, while tending her goats in Los Terrones nearby, saw a shining object with small windows over a period of two days.
1935 - Manuel Reina and a friend while walking from Charbonier to the neighbouring village met "a being with a shiny suit adhering to his body like plastic".
At Huertas Malas there have been experiences with "elementals of Nature" such as elves and nereids.
Geologists studying Uritorco mountain state that it is hollow and therefore must be an extinct volcano but there is no evidence to support this. Naturally such geologists can make no official comment on strange effects experienced near the mountain such as:
"In February 1988 at Capilla del Monte, the campsite was not affected by rain or wind while a tremendous storm was raging only two miles away."
"In September 2008 the uncontrollable forest fires raging around Capilla del Monte did not affect Uritorco, being extinguished there by a mysterious snowfall rare for the time of year."
Confirmed by my own experience Ruta 17, an unpaved track of two cars' width which runs east along the northern foothill of Uritorco is affected by an electromagnetic field which affects battery-operated watches, cellphones and photographic negatives while all aircraft are prohibited from overflying Uritorco.
