An explanation of a medieval image depicting two crusaders is provided at the end of J. Antonio Huneeus's article, referencing the "Annales Laurissenses" manuscript from the 12th century, which describes a UFO sighting in 776 AD during the siege of Sigiburg, France.

Article: "Contactado por las estrellas" (Contacted by the Stars) by Armando Tapia

This article profiles Sixto Paz, a Peruvian ufologist born in 1955, whose father was a founder of IPRI (Peruvian Institute of Interplanetary Relations). Paz was involved in the "Misión Rahma" (Rahma Mission) founded in 1974, which aimed to be a bridge for contact between humans, extraterrestrials, and intraterrestrials. The mission dissolved due to internal issues. Paz has since traveled to about 40 countries, lecturing on UFO phenomena and promoting his 16th book, "Guía práctica para tener un contacto" (Practical Guide to Having a Contact). The article also mentions an incident in October 1998 near Paihuano, Chile, where about fifteen people witnessed an object crash into a hill, causing a tremor. Paz compares this to the Roswell incident, suggesting it was a UFO crash that was subsequently covered up by authorities.

Paz discusses reasons for government cover-ups, including national security concerns and the potential economic impact of confirming extraterrestrial presence (e.g., on the arms trade and global debt). He also speculates on how such a revelation could challenge religious beliefs and the established order. He believes that 2012 marks the end of a cosmic cycle, not the end of the world, and anticipates a significant release of hidden information by governments and religions. He attributes current global events like mega-earthquakes and eruptions to extraordinary cosmic radiation affecting the Sun, leading to solar storms and impacting Earth.

Article: "Un interesante caso OVNI de la España Medieval" (An Interesting UFO Case from Medieval Spain) by Antonio Huneeus

This article investigates a historical account of a potential UFO sighting from January 5, 1433, in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain. The report originates from a letter by Licenciado Fernán Gómez de Cibdarreal, supposedly the king's physician, to the Royal Chaplain Pedro López de Miranda. The letter describes a large, yellow flame-like object moving in the sky, accompanied by a loud noise, which frightened horses and mules. The object was described as having a black interior and whitish borders.

There is controversy surrounding the authenticity of this letter and the "Centon Epistolario" (a collection of letters attributed to Fernán Gómez), with many scholars believing the 1499 Burgos edition to be a forgery created after 1600. The article mentions that Juan Antonio de Vera, Count of La Roca, a diplomat and writer, may have been involved in forging the "Centon." Vera's alleged "genealogical psychopathology" might explain his inclusion of references to his own family to inflate their historical importance.

The primary source for the 1433 event, and other historical accounts, is the "Crónica de Juan II de Castilla" (Chronicle of Juan II of Castile), a chronological history compiled by various authors. The article notes that the "Centon" likely used real historical events from King Juan II's reign as a basis, but added fictional elements.

Article: "Un extraño fenómeno Forteano en 1438" (A Strange Forteano Phenomenon in 1438)

This section, also drawing from the "Crónica de Juan II de Castilla," describes an event in 1438 in Maderuelo, Spain. Stones reportedly fell from the sky, described as "very large, like light sparrows, as light as a feather, and as large as a small pillow." The stones were hollow and soft, and despite their size, they caused no damage. The report was considered significant enough for King Juan II to send a high-ranking military officer, Juan Ruyz de Agreda, to investigate and bring back samples of these stones.

About the Author: J. Antonio Huneeus

J. Antonio Huneeus is presented as an experienced ufologist with over 30 years of international experience. His articles have appeared in numerous publications worldwide, and he has co-authored a book on UFO evidence. He has a background in journalism and has given lectures and interviews on the subject.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores UFO sightings, both historical and contemporary, with a particular focus on potential government cover-ups and the interpretation of anomalous events. There is a clear interest in historical accounts, such as the medieval Spanish sightings, and a critical stance towards official explanations, often suggesting hidden agendas or suppressed information. The publication appears to be independent, as stated in its tagline: "Sin ataduras ni conexiones oficialistas. Libre de pensamiento y acción" (Without ties or official connections. Free of thought and action).

This issue of Revista Ovni, titled "Evidencia de que intereses extranjeros quieren apropiarse del sur austral" (Evidence that foreign interests want to appropriate the austral south), delves into a complex web of geopolitical, economic, and environmental concerns surrounding Patagonia. The magazine presents a narrative suggesting a concerted effort by foreign entities, particularly those linked to Zionism, to gain control over this resource-rich region.

Foreign Interests and Zionist Influence in Patagonia

The central thesis of the issue is that Patagonia, a vast and sparsely populated area shared by Argentina and Chile, has been a long-standing objective for global power elites, viewed as a future "refuge." The article posits that a "silent takeover" by the International Zionist Movement has been progressing through territorial acquisitions, economic infiltration, and the deployment of "fifth columns" of Israelis disguised as tourists and backpackers. This alleged infiltration is supported by global media and geopolitical positioning.

A specific incident cited is the arrest of Rotem Singer, an Israeli tourist, in Chile for allegedly setting fire to the Torres del Paine National Park. The article highlights that Singer was on a trip with other Israeli "backpackers" who claimed innocence, but Chilean authorities detained him, and President Piñera expressed concern.

The magazine traces this interest back decades, referencing a 1986 article from Argentina's "La Nación" newspaper titled "Study of the settlement of a Jewish colony in Santa Cruz." This article detailed Israeli plans for a settlement in El Calafate, Patagonia, aiming to house 10,000 Israelis within ten years. The report indicated that these individuals were surveying the area's climate, flora, fauna, and potential resources, with a spokesperson stating it was a "long-cherished project" with the backing of Argentine authorities.

Further historical context is provided by quoting Theodor Herzl, the founder of international Zionism, from his 1896 book "The Jewish State." Herzl reportedly considered Argentina as a potential Jewish homeland due to its vast territory, sparse population, and moderate climate, suggesting Argentina would have a strong interest in ceding part of its territory.

The article also points to a 2002 New York Times suggestion that Argentina sell Patagonia to pay off its sovereign debt. It identifies Eduardo Elsztain, described as the largest landowner in Argentina, as a local partner of George Soros and an executive of the World Jewish Congress, actively involved in the Chabad Lubavitch movement. Elsztain is noted for accumulating vast tracts of land in Patagonia, associating with figures like Carlo and Luciano Benetton, Ted Turner, Douglas Tompkins, Joseph Lewis, Daniel Lerner, Ward Lay, and Henry Paulson (through The Nature Conservancy).

The issue also touches upon the British interest in the region, referencing a Telegraph article from January 2002 that suggested sending a nuclear submarine to the Malvinas Islands to assert British fury over South American countries prohibiting ships flying the Malvinas flag. The article implies a connection between British support for the Malvinas and their historical role in the Zionist movement, citing the 1917 Balfour Declaration.

Environmental Activism and International Alliances

Beyond the geopolitical concerns, the magazine highlights environmental activism in Patagonia. An article on page 14, "La Patagonia en la prensa..." (Patagonia in the press...), reveals an alliance between the Tompkins family (Douglas and Kris Tompkins) and Robert Kennedy Jr. Their organizations are reportedly campaigning against hydroelectric power plants in Aysén, Chile, arguing they would cause irreversible damage to the region's resources. Representatives from Kennedy Jr.'s NGO, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), planned to visit Patagonia to assess the impact of proposed dams on rivers like Pascua and Baker. The Tompkins' organization, Conservación Patagónica, is also involved, with Kris Tompkins having founded Estancia Chacabuco, an area that could be affected by the dams.

UFOs, Extraterrestrial Life, and Cryptids

The issue also explores themes related to UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. On page 17, "El Vaticano saluda al 'hermano extraterrestre'" (The Vatican greets the 'extraterrestrial brother'), discusses the views of an astronomer from the Vatican Observatory who accepts the possibility of life on other planets, suggesting that extraterrestrials could also experience God's mercy. He likens this to St. Francis of Assisi's concept of 'brother' and 'sister' for all creatures.

Another section, "Año 2000 – Estadísticas" (Year 2000 – Statistics), notes a decrease in round or oval UFO sightings in the US from November to April 2000, but an increase in triangular UFOs, leading to speculation about their origin. The article also links solar activity, including sunspots and solar flares, to potential impacts on Earth's magnetic field, weather patterns, and communications.

Page 18 lists several reports of "Triángulos Volantes" (Flying Triangles) from May 2000 across the United States and Canada, with specific times and locations. One sighting in Miami described a triangle moving slowly across a clear sky.

On page 20, a section titled "UNA NOTA DE CRIPTOZOOLOGIA: SUPUESTA SIRENA ¿OTRO FRAUDE?" (A Note on Cryptozoology: Supposed Siren Another Fraud?) investigates the discovery of a possible mummified siren at the Buxton Museum in England. Students from the University of Lincoln are studying the artifact, which is believed to have originated from the Far East in the mid-19th century. The researcher noted that the siren's hair is human and that such artifacts were often made by fishermen to supplement their income by selling fake sirens.

Military Incidents and Controversies

The issue also addresses a controversial military incident. On page 5, "Senador Tuma critica 'turismo de soldados' israelíes en la Patagonia" (Senator Tuma criticizes Israeli 'soldier tourism' in Patagonia), reports on Chilean Senator Eugenio Tuma's criticism of the high number of Israeli tourists in Patagonia, calling it "abnormal." He suggested that the Israeli government might be sending licensed military personnel for tourism, possibly as a form of therapy after combat stress. The article mentions the case of Roter Singer, who was accused of starting the fire in Torres del Paine, and notes that his grandfather reported him as a good young man from the Israeli army. Senator Tuma stated that Israel should assume civil responsibility for the case.

The Jewish Community of Chile reportedly repudiated Senator Tuma's remarks, as well as those of Deputy Fuad Chain, who suggested on Twitter that the Israeli tourist responsible for the fire might have been sent by the state after killing Palestinian children. The Jewish community characterized these statements as "xenophobic" and linked them to the "Plan Andinia" conspiracy theory.

Furthermore, the Israeli embassy in Santiago informed that it would not assume Roter Singer's defense, as his family had hired a lawyer. The embassy stated it would follow the investigation closely.

On page 20, "EL CASO DEL CABO VALDES CUMPLIO 35 AÑOS, ENTRE VIAVENES DE SUS PROTAGONISTAS" (The Case of Cabo Valdés Reaches 35 Years, Amidst the Twists of its Protagonists) revisits the 1977 case of ex-Cabo Valdés, who reported an inexplicable experience with his patrol in Pampa de Lluscuma, Chile, during the military dictatorship. The article notes that MEGAVISION covered the case, referencing a book by journalist Patricio Abusleme, "La Noche de los centinelas." It highlights Valdés's changing statements, including his eventual confession that he was not abducted but merely went to relieve himself and did not respond to his subordinates' calls, suggesting it was a prank that escalated due to media attention.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Revista Ovni consistently explores themes of perceived foreign manipulation and control, particularly concerning the Patagonian region. The editorial stance appears critical of Zionist influence and international economic interests, framing them as a potential threat to national sovereignty and the environment. The magazine also engages with paranormal and unexplained phenomena, including UFOs and cryptids, presenting them as subjects worthy of investigation, often linking them to broader geopolitical or esoteric contexts. There is a clear emphasis on uncovering hidden agendas and questioning official narratives, particularly regarding events involving Israel and its perceived global influence. The magazine aims to inform readers about complex issues, encouraging them to consider alternative perspectives, even if controversial, while striving for objectivity and honesty in its reporting.

This issue of Revista NOUFA, identified as issue 21 and dated April 8, 2012, is published by IIEE Chile and focuses on themes of military secrecy, UFO phenomena, and the challenges of independent research. The cover headline, "SOBRE SECRETOS MILITARES * UNA INTERPRETACION VALIDA" (About Military Secrets * A Valid Interpretation), sets the tone for the issue.

The C-212 Aviocar Accident and Military Secrecy

The lead article discusses the accident of the C-212 Aviocar of the Chilean Air Force on September 2, 2011, near Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile. The crash, which claimed 21 lives, involved well-known personalities and military personnel. The article highlights how interpretations of the cause have shifted, citing potential issues like lack of maintenance, insufficient fuel, overweight cargo, bird strikes, and unannounced pilot changes. The invocation of "military secrecy" in response to the accident is criticized as a form of corporatism aimed at covering up errors, not just in this case but in many others. The authors suggest that if the Air Force invokes such secrecy for a civilian-military accident, it implies an even greater lack of transparency regarding the UFO phenomenon (FOVNI), which they believe is often treated as a military secret. They argue that military and official bodies, acting as protectors of security, obscure the truth about UFOs, and that true protection for the public lies in truth and transparency.

Reactions and Interpretations

Following the publication of an interpretive piece on their blog, NOUFA received various reactions. From Argentina, Luis Burgos of FAO/RADIO congratulated NOUFA, stating that someone across the Andes shares what many say locally. Sergio Albornoz, a lawyer, deemed the interpretation valid. Contributions from other countries include comments from Pepe Rojas (Journalist, Brazil), Fabricio Ortiz (Comerciante, Costa Rica), Julián Hernández (Paramédico, Spain), María Jáuregui (Traductora, Spain), and Sebastián Lara (Kinesiólogo, Chile). These comments generally reflect on the military's tendency towards secrecy and the importance of transparency.

"La Farsa en Acción: El gobierno de turno contraataca" by Luis Burgos

This section features an article by Luis Burgos, who collaborated on a TV program about UFOs. He recounts an interview with Comodoro Guillermo Tealdi, a spokesperson for the Argentine Air Force, who claimed only a few unidentified radar echoes were detected and not investigated due to their brevity. Burgos dismisses this, stating that numerous unidentified echoes have been detected over 64 years of ovnilogía in Argentina, citing the Punta Indio naval air base incident in 1965 as an example. Tealdi also claimed no celestial phenomenon has ever affected air safety, which Burgos refutes, mentioning visual contact and equipment interference with UFOs, citing the Bariloche case in 1995. Tealdi's assertion that an experienced pilot is different from enthusiastic youngsters is also questioned. Burgos criticizes the creation of an official commission (CIFA) to investigate UFOs, viewing it as a tactic by the government to control the narrative and discredit independent researchers. He argues that this commission, composed of individuals from meteorology, CONICET, CONAE, and official astronomy, will likely deny the existence of UFOs and dismiss evidence. He lists extensive evidence of UFO activity in Argentina, including thousands of cases, landing traces, humanoid sightings, and cattle mutilations, while noting that the term 'extraterrestrial' is forbidden within the commission.

"Entre el Chaqueteo y-o la Ingenuidad" (Between Heckling and/or Naivety)

This section discusses the challenges faced by UFO researchers, particularly in Chile and Argentina. The author criticizes those who claim to be UFO experts but have contributed little to the field, often relying on superficial knowledge or connections. In Chile, the author notes that while the military has contributed little, there's an effort to officialize the topic through organizations like CEFAA, which has incorporated national UFO figures who allegedly play along. This officialization is seen as a way to gain credibility ('cache') and potentially isolate or discredit independent researchers who have been investigating for years under difficult conditions. The article mentions that researchers have requested materials from older investigators, which were never returned, indicating a lack of original research. It highlights the prevalence of ego, hidden agendas, envy, and a focus on showmanship over truth within the UFO community. The author contrasts this with the quiet work of professionals who are not publicly known, as the national media favors sensationalism. The article also touches on the difficulty of unifying UFO organizations due to personal interests and the perception that criticizing semi-civil-military entities like CEFAA or 'scientistic' individuals is considered 'ufological heresy'.

The Paihuano Incident: An Explanation

This section details the events in Paihuano, Chile, on October 7, 1998, where residents reported seeing a grey object with an orange stripe descend and break apart on a hill. Initially, speculation ranged from meteorological balloons to UFOs. A woman with a sister at NASA reportedly said, "We already know." Research groups investigated the site, finding footprints, horse droppings, and heavy tire tracks. The explanation provided is that a small, 4-meter unmanned aerial vehicle (UCAV) from the UNITAS operation lost radio contact with a ship and crashed. The incident brought attention to Paihuano within the UFO community, but the explanation suggests human intervention rather than an extraterrestrial event. The article notes that the CEFAA did not investigate the Paihuano case.

Conclusion

Luis Burgos concludes by reflecting on his 42 years of UFO research, expressing frustration with the lack of official support and the difficulty in accessing government archives. He states he has never had official backing and maintains his independent stance. He worries about a potential division within the Argentine ovnilogía community between those who align with official commissions and those who continue independent field research. He emphasizes the importance of truth and transparency, criticizing hypocrisy and "hustlers."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently criticizes military secrecy and the lack of transparency in official investigations of UFO phenomena. It champions independent research and calls for truth and openness. There is a clear skepticism towards official bodies like CEFAA and a belief that the UFO phenomenon affects all of humanity, not just a select few. The editorial stance is critical of those who seek to control or monopolize the UFO topic, whether for personal gain or through dogmatic approaches. The publication emphasizes the importance of evidence-based investigation and the pursuit of truth, even when it is uncomfortable or challenges established narratives.

Title: Sector de opiniones
Issue: 31
Date: August-September 2006
Publisher: IIEE de Chile

This issue of "Sector de opiniones" delves into various anomalous phenomena, including UFO sightings, mysterious creatures, historical enigmas, and reviews of related literature and documentaries.

Gigantesca Franja Oscura Sobre el Cielo (Gigantic Dark Strip Over the Sky)

This article recounts the experience of Rigoberto Tadeo Catalán Labraña, a 64-year-old professor from Angol, Chile. On a night in March 2000, while walking home, he observed a peculiar phenomenon: a wide, black, perfectly straight strip across the sky that completely blocked out the stars in its path. He estimated its width to be about 25 cm from horizon to horizon, with very defined edges. He watched this for approximately 20 minutes, and as it showed no variation and offered no logical explanation, he continued on his way. He emphatically stated that the sky appeared divided into two parts by this phenomenon.

¿ET EN EL SUR DE CHILE? (ET in the South of Chile?)

This section reports on the discovery of a dead creature with an extraterrestrial appearance in Hualpén, in the Biobío Region of Chile. Gabriel Torres, nephew of the man who found the creature, explained that his uncle discovered a small body near a grass fire while traveling by car. Intrigued by its strange form, he took it home and preserved it in a liquid. Hugo Mazuela, an investigator of paranormal phenomena in the area, suggested that investigations were needed to determine if it was a human fetus, an animal, or something with an alien DNA.

LA FOTOGRAFIA: ¿Un OVNI desmaterializado? (The Photograph: A Dematerialized UFO?)

This article discusses the phenomenon of UFOs appearing and disappearing, suggesting they might shift to another dimension. It details an event on September 9, 1957, at Fort Belvoir, USA, where a witness photographed a UFO as it appeared to dematerialize. The images show the UFO initially camouflaged within a cloud, which then gradually disappeared. The article questions the technology behind such an event. It also mentions other historical photos from 1957 and includes images of Ramón Navia-Osorio and Osvaldo Muray, along with a UFO that appeared to materialize in stages.

Curiosidades anómalas: LA BESTIA DE VOSGES (Anomalous Curiosities: The Beast of Vosges)

This section explores the mystery of wild, predatory animals, such as panthers and leopards, sighted in European forests over centuries. It highlights the famous case of the Beast of Gévaudan in France (1764-1767) and mentions more recent sightings in England, Wales, Scotland, and Germany. The article references a documentary titled "La Bestia de Vosges. Autopsia de un rumor" (The Beast of Vosges. Autopsy of a Rumor) by Robin Hunzinger. The documentary investigates a series of animal attacks in the Vosges region in 1977, exploring collective psychosis, rumors, and the potential involvement of a German man named Reinharts who allegedly kept trained wolves. The article notes that despite extensive investigations, the identity of the beast remains unconfirmed, and the legend may have distorted an initial reality.

HUMOR UFOLOGICO (Ufological Humor)

A humorous cartoon by Silver depicts a couple reacting to a partner's absence, with the caption "TWO NIGHTS AWAY FROM HOME... HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE..."

BIBLIOGRAFIA: LIBROS EXTRAÑOS Y FUERA DE CONTEXTO (Bibliography: Strange Books and Out of Context)

This section reviews the book "Los Ovnis del III Reich" (The UFOs of the Third Reich) by Nuno de Ataide. The book, edited by "Ultimo Reduto" and distributed by Nova Suevia, is described as semi-clandestinely produced and focuses on documents found concerning German UFOs after World War II. It includes texts from Christof Friedrich, Raymond Bernard, Saint-Loup, and Miguel Serrano, and is written in Portuguese. The review notes the book's national socialist tendency and its emphasis on UFOs and the Hollow Earth theory, quoting that "If there is anything that escapes the control of the rulers of the Earth, it is surely the UFOs."

Sector de opiniones: La información que recibes (Sector of Opinions: The Information You Receive)

This opinion piece discusses the overwhelming influence of mass media and the constant barrage of alarmist news that can create subconscious anxiety. It addresses public inquiries about journalist Salfate and contactee Sixto Paz Wells, suggesting that some information is deliberately confusing and benefits established powers. The author argues that ufology is in decline, becoming institutionalized and requiring scientific validation, potentially marginalizing intuitive or spiritual aspects of human experience. The piece advises readers to be critical of information from "the idiot box" (television) and the internet, urging them to maintain composure and serenity amidst the confusion.

IN MEMORIA - OSVALDO MURAY QUIROZ (In Memoriam - Osvaldo Muray Quiroz)

This section is a tribute to Osvaldo Muray Quiroz, a collaborator of NOUFA and IIEE de Chile, who passed away on May 8. Muray, 80 years old, was known for his research, particularly his conviction about Adolf Hitler's possible survival in Chile and the location of his tomb. He had also collaborated with IIEE Spain on an investigation involving unidentified phenomena. The tribute highlights his pioneering work in national criminology and his dedication to investigative journalism, promising to publish his extensive writings posthumously.
