00:01:42,479 lights the first thing we wondered was 30 00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,159 if it had to do with victoria 31 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:46,640 agriculture school being lit up we then 32 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,880 realized this could not be the case as 33 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:51,200 we were far away before they could make 34 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,640 sense of what they were seeing they 35 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,320 found themselves entering the town of 36 00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:56,960 victoria 26 kilometers from where they 37 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,520 were a moment ago their gps still 38 00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,200 indicated that they were in their former 39 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,520 position but then zeroed out within a 40 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,000 few blocks they didn't discuss what had 41 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,479 just happened to them until the next day 42 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,399 one of them explained was only on the 43 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,239 following day that we began to wonder 44 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,400 and recall what had happened to us it 45 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,640 was then that we realized how confusing 46 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,640 everything was but we didn't know what 47 00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:21,120 it was or what took place 48 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:22,879 lapampa has a history of strange 49 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:25,760 goings-on a case well known in argentina 50 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,040 is the reported 1983 abduction of julio 51 00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,200 plattner his story starts with him 52 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,440 leaving the ranch of antonio fisher at 7 53 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,400 30 p.m on august 9th after a day's work 54 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,239 he got out of his pickup truck to open 55 00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,160 the gate and he was hit by a blinding 56 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,080 light he then found himself in a 57 00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,080 spherical room and sitting in what 58 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,920 reminded him of a dentist chair that 59 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,160 seemed to be floating the walls were not 60 00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,080 smooth and seemed to be covered with a 61 00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,319 beige fabric there were four creatures 62 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,480 around him a male and female in front of 63 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,879 him and a male on either side of him he 64 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:58,319 wasn't sure if they were wearing 65 00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,480 uniforms or if it was their skin he was 66 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,319 looking at but they were the same color 67 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,640 as the walls he could however make out 68 00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:06,480 that they were wearing boots he 69 00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:08,959 described them as being about 1.67 70 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,319 meters tall 5.47 feet and that they had 71 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,800 five fingered hands he said he estimated 72 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,239 their height based on the height of a 73 00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:18,239 friend of his he was struck by their 74 00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,239 protruding eyes which he described as 75 00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,959 being large opaque in black they drew 76 00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:24,799 blood from the crook of his arm and when 77 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:26,799 he tried to touch the creatures he was 78 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,959 blocked by an invisible force he was 79 00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,360 then told to stand up and was able to do 80 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,599 so he went to walk and suddenly found 81 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,680 himself in his truck he turned on the 82 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:37,760 headlights and recognized that he was in 83 00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,560 an area 19 kilometers away from the gate 84 00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:42,959 concerned that he'd left the gate open 85 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:44,959 he felt obligated to drive back and 86 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,680 close it before leaving however he noted 87 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:49,280 that there was a scab on the crook of 88 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,920 his arm as he drove off he wondered 89 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,760 whether he'd had some sort of dream 90 00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:55,840 hallucination or if what he'd seem to 91 00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:57,920 have experienced had actually happened 92 00:04:02,869 --> 00:03:59,920 when he got to the gate he saw that he 93 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:02,879 had indeed left it open and he closed it 94 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:05,360 another case from lapampa was posted on 95 00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:09,200 inexplica on march 8

spoke with the local 107 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,560 press i was driving a motorcycle and 108 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,320 when i reached the wilderness area we 109 00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:42,639 called la canas i saw a red light 110 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:44,960 similar to that of a car he said that 111 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,360 when he got closer the light disappeared 112 00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:49,840 then i got off my motorcycle to see if i 113 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,400 could hear any noises when i got back on 114 00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,400 the motorcycle and was about to put on 115 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,240 my helmet the red light appeared in 116 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,320 front of me against my face and very 117 00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:01,120 strong according to him he was paralyzed 118 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,520 except for his hands the light rose up 119 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,759 and he experienced a significant ache in 120 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:08,000 his head and eyes he tried to escape by 121 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:09,919 running through the fields he then found 122 00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,400 himself being pursued by two entities 123 00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,240 that were smaller than him with large 124 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,479 heads and red eyes he said he couldn't 125 00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,720 recall whether he was walking or running 126 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,560 at that point and that he remembered his 127 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:23,039 entire life in a few seconds he said 128 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,560 that the creature seemed to be giving 129 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,039 him life tests he described one of the 130 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,440 tests for example i reached the 131 00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,000 cornfield and at a distance of some 10 132 00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:34,400 meters saw a large figure that appeared 133 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,400 to be chewing the corn cobs and was 134 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,720 breaking something i felt very scared 135 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,560 and stood there staring at it it was 136 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:42,479 getting closer and closer and that's 137 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,560 when i felt them tell me either you go 138 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:46,720 forward or backward then i stood 139 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,320 thinking and walked right past the 140 00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,240 figure and the fear sort of left me at 141 00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:52,880 that moment it seems the experience left 142 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,039 a lasting impression on pachetta in a 143 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,319 may 14 2014 follow-up posting on 144 00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,560 inexplicata the writer reports that 145
