Dionisio Llanca -updated

 In 1980 Flying Saucer Review published a lengthy article on the 1973 Dionisio Llanca (alleged) UFO abduction case.

Since then bits and pieces of that article have been used online -most modern Ufologists seem to have no idea about the case.

That's it.

What happened to Llanca? Was the case ever proven not to have happened? Where is Llanca now?

If anyone has any information or links please get in touch.

Thank you.

addendum

The fact that Llanca was said to be "paid for standing by" to appear where ever a mysterious backer wanted him to should not be taken out of context.

Firstly, I need to point out that FSR and its Editor -Bowen- and conbtributor later editor -Creighton- were very prejudiced in how they described someone. In the main if you were someone from a country in Soputh America you were ill educated, semi literate if literate in any way. In report after report from the 1960s on it is over stressed just how "primitive" /"ignorant"/ "illiterate or ""introverted" witnesses were. In the case of Llanca the term "a savage" was used several times in the FSR article.  This is, in fact, a form of ethnic prejudice (I don't use the word "racism" because there is only the human race so prejudice is against ethnic or regional types).  

Oh,  how ignorant Antonio Villas Boas was. Hardly able to read, would not be able to understand anything in articles about UFOs etc etc etc.  This was a lie. It was known by Bowen and Creighton (Creighton doing the translating work) just how literate Boa was -as detailed in UFO Contact? he rose to a very prominent position and in the 1975 report on The Anthropomorphic Phenomena at Santa Isabel (FSR21/2 ) we read of the semi literate and introverted workers (all of the apparently).

Boas was no dope but this is FSRs legacy: everyone fropm a Latin American country is a dope unless they are persons of high standing in which case their credentials were fawned over and then came "Why would they lie with so much to loose?".

I think it fair to write that in Llanca's case he was not highly educated but was certainloy no dope. He would be put in the class of person who has a certain routine and life-style and never really veers from it (oh, being ill educated he is, obviously, a lazy sod as FSR points out). Why repair that tyre and make more work for yourself? He would not be the first driver I've known who did this! Llanca was/is basically an everyday working person in 1973.

It was claimed that "despite the time, he says he still wears marks on his body" and I believe that quote is from 1980 but I have no definitive source. His family shunned him because "he would not work" -he had been pulled into some financial deal that was not that rewarding for him. His personal relationship seems to have suffered. In fact, it looks as though Llancaq was sufgfering some form of post traumatic stress. This quote says everything and echoes the words of many other alleged UFO abduction percipients:

"If that night happened to me again, I wouldn't tell anyone. It did me a lot of harm, they defamed and used me,"

Was Llanca abducted by aliens (forget the alien cover story because I have never really given that credibility and some doubt was cast on early hypnosis used on him ("question that offered the answers"). The problem is that this could have been some altered state experience because there was only one percipient. Were others seeing UFOs in the area at the time? That adds some addition but coincidental evidence.

It could have been a genuine case. Only if we were there at the time could we say and that is not going to happen so we go by what we read. That doctors checked every aspect and looked at different possibilities but cxould offer no explanation is interesting.

Llancxa became a guinea pig and then an object to make money from with no real consideration for him as a human being. Genuine alien abduction or altered state the effect on him and on his life were real.
