On Monday, March 11, 2024, an Aerolíneas Argentina passenger plane was flying over the Argentinian city of Neuquen when the pilot noticed something abnormal in the air.
He immediately contacted the coordinator at President Perón International Airport in Neuquen and asked if there were any other flights in the air near his plane. They said no, which made the pilot very worried.
This happened with flight AR1652, which departed from Buenos Aires to Neuquen that evening at 8:30 PM. At approximately 10:30 p.m., the pilot saw four UFOs in the sky.
“I’m asking you… do you see any lights around level 4-5-0 or 5-0-0 that keep moving? It seems that there were two transits, they look like four moving celestial bodies, but they are too high,” the pilot said in a dialogue with the operator of the control service of President Peron Airport.
“No sir, I can’t see anything from my position and I have no reports of flights in the area,” the woman replied.
However, the pilot continued to insist that he clearly saw something, and objects or one object with multiple lights flew much higher than the level of his aircraft.
“No, no, that is much higher than our flying level. We are going for 3-8-0, and it will be at least 5-0-0.”
After this, the coordinator advised him to simply deviate from the route: “For your safety, you can go north if necessary, there will be no inconvenience.”
The pilot continued to insist on the presence of strange lights near his aircraft. He clearly wasn’t happy with what the dispatcher told him: “It’s going about a 0-9-0 radial, further south.”
But the woman only repeated to him that there were no other flights in this sector: “Acknowledged, I repeat that I have no reports of transits in this area. If it continues in a straight line or deviates, there is no problem.”
After this, the pilot replied briefly “Thanks” and disconnected the call.
What he observed remained a mystery.
