reflected light of the setting sun. It was shaped like
a giant cigarette and flew slowly some 200 meters from
the ground.

Cigar-Shaped
UFO Spotted Along Route 33 Near Cachi
Sighting
occurred near the Tin-Tin stretch.
Three
motorcyclists from Cachi who were driving along National
Hwy. 33 informed El Tribuno that they had witnessed "a
fantastic sight."
"We
saw," said the bikers, "an enormous cigar-shaped
unidentified flying object (UFO) measuring some 100 meters
in length." Martin Oliver, Ruben Chihan and Antonio
Rodo, young bikers well-known throughout the area, claimed
that their experience occurred on May 1st as they headed
back from the capital. "We want our names to be
included, because for a long time, we've been hearing
similar stories from fellow residents who out of a sense
of shame or sheer cowardice do not want their names printed
in the paper," stressed the sportsmen.
"We
were finishing the Tin Tin stretch when we saw a strange
light from the east, in the vicinity of Payogasta. We
stopped our rides and saw it: an enormous cylinder measuring
some 100 meters in length, shining like a mirror in the
reflected light of the setting sun. It was shaped like
a giant cigarette and flew slowly some 200 meters from
the ground. We couldn't believe it but it was real. It
made no noise whatsoever and appeared to be made of a
material similar to polished steel," the cyclists
reported.
"Suddenly,
it stopped and remained suspended in mid-air. A few seconds
later, it began flying at an astonishing speed and lost
itself in space."
