UFOs in Chile: Chronicles of real encounters with unidentified flying objects and their alleged occupants

Chile is a long, narrow country in South America that is often associated with ufology, or the study of reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Television reports, the release of videos of seemingly strange phenomena in the skies, and the existence of the Section for Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (SEFAA, formerly CEFAA) -the government agency responsible for investigating those reports- have fueled that image of the country for decades. But which are some of Chile's most significant close encounters with UFOs? Are there any chronicles in the Chilean press that covered that kind of stories? What do witnesses of those incidents say several years after the events? Taking these questions as a starting point, Chilean journalist and UFO buff Patricio Abusleme compiled an exhaustive collection of documentary and testimonial material, gathering accounts of 13 highly relevant Chilean UFO cases that were covered by the local press. In this book, Abusleme rigorously examines UFO incidents that took place in Chile between 1956 and 1998, and that were witnessed by scientists, military personnel, pilots, artists and ordinary citizens from the far north to the frigid Antarctic latitudes. This groundbreaking work, brimming with information, data and precise references, is set to become an essential resource for anyone wishing to seriously study Chilean and South American ufology.
