Mariners aboard the merchant vessel San Matías I reported a UFO sighting off the coast of Península Valdés, Chubut province, Argentina.
The incident occurred around 4 AM when two crew members observed eight orange lights emerging from the sea, moving in illogical directions.
The witnesses described the lights moving up, down, and at unusual angles, causing alarm as they initially feared an attack. They confirmed that the lights did not match any nearby aircraft or vessels.
Despite attempts to capture images, the crew could not document the sighting due to the rapid nature of the event. Following the sighting, authorities confirmed no naval or aerial activity in the area, adding to the mystery.
The incident has prompted the Comisión de Estudio del Fenómeno OVNI de la República Argentina (CEFORA) to investigate. A captain noted, “I have spent over 320 days at sea and never witnessed anything like that night. They moved independently, resembling flares that dazzled the eyes.”
