00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,040
argentina by charles lear

4
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,039
in last week's blog we looked at a

5
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,039
recent report from the pompous region of

6
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:49,360
argentina that involved a missing woman

7
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,520
who was found the next day in a town

8
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,160
around 65 kilometers from where she was

9
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:56,800
last seen she reported being in her yard

10
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,359
in jacinto arroyos seeing a light and

11
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,280
then suddenly finding herself sitting in

12
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,440
the road in the town of gettrache with

13
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,920
no memory of how she got there the case

14
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:07,680
caught the interest of a local ufo

15
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:10,000
researcher as it bore a resemblance to

16
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,159
an alien abduction case reported in the

17
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,880
area in 1983 the researcher was

18
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,799
interviewed in connection with the story

19
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,040
in the local paper la arena and the

20
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:20,960
woman's disappearance was presented in

21
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,600
the paper with the alien angle in mind

22
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:25,759
since the last blog was posted the woman

23
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,680
has come forward and was interviewed for

24
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,000
a video segment posted on the web-based

25
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,720
news site chronica tv in case there

26
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,320
might be any question of whether the

27
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,320
presenters had any sort of bias towards

28
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,240
the alien explanation for the woman's

29
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:40,880

her house and a man and a woman in the

37
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:01,119
studio at this point she still had no

38
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,560
memory of what had happened to her

39
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,399
between seeing the light in her yard and

40
00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,880
finding herself in gethrache rick tells

41
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,479
the interviewer that her husband had

42
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:10,879
gone to look after another property and

43
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,959
that she had gotten up that morning had

44
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,879

described that there were lines

49
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:24,480
crisscrossing it and then she heard a

50
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,959
buzzing noise outside like when the wind

51
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,959
whistles against the window she thought

52
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:30,319
her husband might have forgotten

53
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,239
something and was coming back so she

54
00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:34,640
went outside she then heard what sounded

55
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:37,519
like an incredibly powerful wind and saw

56
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,080

57
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,080

studio brings up the abduction idea with

00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:40,720
this question irma evidently this is the

83
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,879
first time you're telling your story the

84
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:45,200
possible abduction is that how you say

85
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,440
it by a ufo in the enormity of the

86
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:50,080
province of la pampa now surely you've

87
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,920
told this to your friends relatives

88
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,159
acquaintances how did you say it and how

89
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,560
was it received did they believe you or

90
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,799
not the interviewer points out that this

91
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,560
is the first time she's spoken about

92
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,480
what happened to her with anyone other

93
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:04,480
than her husband and rick corrects him

94
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:06,879
saying she discussed it with her husband

95
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,680
and her kids the man in the studio asks

96
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,680
what they had to say about it and rick

97
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,840
replies what were they going to say

98
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,920
they're just as startled as me i would

99
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:17,680
like to know what happened to me but i

100
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,000
still don't know anything the man in the

101
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:22,079
studio and the interviewer started

102
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,080
discussion with rick about the fact that

103
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:25,919
her clothes were clean in spite of the

104
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,400
long distance she traveled she confirmed

105
00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:30,400
that her clothes were clean but that she

106
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:33,440
was told that she was very dirty smelly

107
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,840
the interviewer asks if she walked 60

108
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,160
kilometers and she replies i don't think

109
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,000
i could walk such a distance in that

110
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,800
time the woman in the studio asks if

111
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:45,280
rick had any marks on her body and rick

112
00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,040
tells her that there is a mark on her

113
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:49,520
head the camera zooms in on a small mark

114
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:51,759
on her scalp and the man in the studio

115
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,960
says look at that cut so weird this is

116
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,120
incredible marco it's a meticulous

117
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,199
incision and a tough one to do am i

118
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,600
right the interviewer asks if rick can

119
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:03,680
walk with him to the spot where it

120
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:06,160
happened and they do so she points out

121
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,039
the location and the interviewer asks so

122
00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:11,280
the abduction took place right there

123
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:13,919
rick replies i don't remember but i know

124
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,160
i got that far the interviewer attempts

125
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,320
to rule out a conventional vehicle being

126
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,400
involved by pointing out that the road

127
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,639
is about a kilometer from the house and

128
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:24,880
says if there was a vehicle involved she

129
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:26,960
would have noticed right irma rick

130
00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,840
replies yes i suppose i would have aside

131
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:31,919
from that take a look all i could hear

132
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:34,240
was the wind a very strong wind that

133
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:36,320
seemed to suck you in but that's where i

134
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,960
lost consciousness the man in the studio

135
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,720
says that the staff is checking on the

136
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:42,639
weather for the day in question and that

137
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,440
there was no call for strong winds at

138
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:47,600
least from what the records show the man

139
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:49,520
in the studio brings attention to some

140
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,160
indentations and asks would those be the

141
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,479
mark the record of the event am i saying

142
00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,160
it right or not there's some

143
00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:57,919
interference and the man in the studio

144
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:00,240
gets back to his question and asks i was

145
00:06:04,070 --> 00:06:02,080
saying that those indentations

146
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,080
depressions on the soil could they be

147
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:05,759
the record of the event could it be a

148
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,319
key to this investigation he brings the

149
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:10,400
interviewers and rick's attention to a

150
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,120
specific depression and she explains

151
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,680
that's something the dog does the man in

152
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:17,680
the studio asks if rick would be willing

153
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,400
to tell her story to an agency tied to

154
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:22,720
the research in these matters she tells

155
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:25,520
him no i didn't speak to anyone the man

156
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,080
asks but would you be willing to do so

157
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:30,960
rick replies yes yes

158
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:34,000
ufo researcher luis burgos posted his

159
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,160
take on the case in a blog titled a

160
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:38,800
contrarian viewpoint argentina's alleged

161
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:41,919
abduction in lapampa on the blog site in

162
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,039
explacata the journal of spanish ufology

163
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,360
there he presented his views on the case

164
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,280
is criticism of the way in which it was

165
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:52,240
handled by the sensationalist media and

166
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,440
accused chronica tv of engaging in its

167
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,280
own ufo circus

168
00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,840
burgos laments that no proper on-site

169
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:02,080
investigations were done and that rick's

170
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:03,680
phone which could have been used to

171
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,440
track her location during her missing

172
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,280
time was never turned over to

173
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:09,759
authorities turning to rick burgos

174
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:11,919
points out that she had reported another

175
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:15,120
sighting in 2002 he considers this fact

176
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:16,880
to be something that works against

177
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:19,599
rick's credibility according to burgos

178
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:23,280
rick reported that on june 19 2002 she

179
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,840
was awake at around 4 30 a.m when a

180
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,599
bright blueish light shone into the

181
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:29,759
house she opened the door and saw a

182
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,639
brightly lit device floating over a silo

183
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:34,880
she said a creature descended that

184
00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:37,120
looked slender and had a sort of head in

185
