" I 2.5 San Carlos de Bariloche (July 31, 1995) I Source SEPRA Aerolineas Argentinas flight AR 674, a Boeing 727 en route from Buenos Aires, was 140 km from San Carlos de Bariloche, a tourist resort in the central Andes where it was I preparing to land. I At that precise instant, a power outage plunged the town into darkness, and the pilot received the order to stay on standby for a few minutes before making his final approach. When he began his approach, the pilot noticed a strange star. At the same time, the I control center put a second airplane that had arrived in the sector on standby. Flight AR 674 continued its approach, but when it had completed its tum and was in the ax.is ofthe runway, an object resembling a large aircraft appeared on its right side and flew parallel to I it! This object had three lights, one of which was red, in the middle of it. The airport lights failed again, and the runway and approach ramp lights also went out. The airplane on standby observed the same phenomenon from its position. I Since the pilot could not land, he pulled up and turned again in order to reposition himself in the ax.is of the runway. At that moment, the object, which had become luminous, moved behind the airplane, stopped, ascended vertically, and once again stopped. It moved back in front of the airplane before finally disappearing in the direction of the Andes Cordillera.

I - This case is interesting in more than one respect: ·1 the sighting was corroborated by multiple independent observers both in flight and on the ground, - the phenomenon lasted several minutes, I - there were different trajectories, some ofwhich closely followed those of the airplane, - there was an observation ofan electromagnetic phenomenon (the lights of th~ town and the airport went out) directly related to the presence of the object. I Chapter 3 - Sightings from the Ground I This chapter deals with sightings from the ground, two of which were reported to the committee by direct witnesses of the phenomena observed. Here agai~ their testimonies are all the more interesting since they pertain to the aeronautic world and the phenomena were observed during the day. I I 3.1 Phenomenon Observed by Numerous Witnesses at Antananarivo (August 16, 1954) Testimony before the commitlee Edmond Campagnac (C), a fonner artillery officer and former chief of technical I services for Air France in Madagascar who is now retired, came to testify before the committee.
