This is a rather interesting case but the biggest problem is that we have an account with names but no one that I can find has ever published images of the witnesses nor produced any actual physical evidence that they existed. If anyone in Chile, or elsewhere, has extra information please get in touch -blacktowercg@hotmail.com
In June 1966, civil servants of the S.N.S. of Serena were sent to Los Morros, a locality at 160 km from Serena and 1500 meters of altitude. One night, two of the civil servants, Astudillo and Muñoz, went to the village of Incahuasi for a medical urgency. They were on the return trip by a clear night with a full moon and without cloud. Whereas the van went up through a zone of turns of the road, having left the lower fog zone, they saw a motionless ball of fire at a few meters. It emitted a strong luminosity and was of a big size, with six protuberances at its periphery. Whereas they started to drive again the UFO moved on with them, in front of them. While arriving at Los Morros and awaking their companions, the latter could see with object which followed them in the air, without the protuberances. Its flight was ascending and at high speed.
Seven months passed, and Dr. Darwin Arriagada proposed to hypnotize civil servants Astudillo and Muñoz, who accepted.
Under hypnosis, Manuel Muñoz Carvajal described:
"There was a very thick fog. We arrive at Tres Cruces. We start to climb the slope of that way. When we arrived at the top, the fog dissipated and we saw a ball of fire cross us. It was like these pellets which one puts in wafers, but large. It crossed from left to the right, namely, from the mountain to the sea. It did that within fifty meters in front of us and turned off. My companion said it was a shooting star. I said that it could not be that, It was like a projection of light which turned off. We continue to go up and arrive towards a light, higher; my companion told me that it was a truck. I answered him that it wasn't; it made a very loud noise. We stopped the van and went down. I was alarmed. It was a large ball, it shone a lot and started to flicker. It was very close to the ground. We go up in the van and continue to advance, I was frightened, it was not a sphere. It approached us; the light which came from this ball illuminated the hood of the van. We still advance a thousand meters and this craft followed us at the same distance. Five from the twenty of us saw it. It was like a nut, it projected rays, a brilliant and then strong and orange light, of a yellow color; and it had two long cables like antennas, which came out by its top. There were changes of lights every half-minute. Under this thing, one noticed like a cabin, there were three motionless heads... I could not sleep. I dreamed that men walked by, who came from the disc. They were green with a round face, large round eyes, half protruding. They were one meter, one meter twenty tall. A very large, round head and a thick neck. They had a broad chest and a narrow belt. The legs were thin, appearing not to have knees."
The other contactee, Luis Astudillo Marin, detailed under hypnosis:
"Then this capsule, I do not know how to give it a correct name, came down a little and one noticed behind the brightness a species of cabin and one saw three heads with helmets."
He did not see these beings out of the vessel, that his companion thinks of having seen in dreams, but both saw the three members of the crew when they were in the fuselage of the ship.
Patrick Grossat URECAT is often very dismissive of these reports so I checked to see what he wrote in Explanation Category. "Extraterrestrial Visitors" -now that had me asking how he concluded this and here is what he wrote:
"I do suspect that the case could be seen as an "alien abduction" which would be "revealed by hypnosis", but it is rather advisable to make the clear distinction between the two parts, of a different nature, of the case. There is an actual description of something like a craft with three occupants inside, whose helmeted heads are seen by the two witnesses in normal state of consciousness on the one hand, and on the other, elements who significantly appear only from one of the two witnesses, following hypnosis, and he does specify that they are elements of a dream. In the conscious episode, there is no indication of the least loss of consciousness, no "missing time", no landing of the occupants, no contact. This time as in much of the other such cases, the use of hypnosis did not bring up reliable information, only invalid additional elements that blur the case, elements coming from a dream of the witness; which obviously could be caused by the impact of the real experience.
"The conscious part of the case nevertheless remains of high interest, and it is thus unfortunate that the available sources seem rather fragmentary - it can be understood that a much more complete report could have existed."
For me this would be given a Low Credibility rating since although a multi-witness case we have no proof that those witnesses existed and if you know your UFO history you'll know that too many cases looked into never happened and FSR knew this but never corrected the record.
Please, if you know of a fuller report, photographs or anything not includerd in the above get in touch!
