Initial data
32-year-old mechanic Eduardo Fernando Dedeu was returning home after visiting a diner in Medanos.
After driving a short distance from this city, he noticed that someone waved to him to give him a ride. It was a man in a coat with the collar turned up and a cap covering his head. His face was somewhat longer than usual (according to other versions, he wore a rounded hat, and his chin was so large that it almost reached his chest).
Dedeu decided to stop for him, and the man silently entered the car and sat down next to him. The mechanic asked him if he was going to Bahia Blanca, and he said something unintelligible. Then Dedeu asked him if he was not from Medanos, and the stranger gave an incomprehensible answer.
Dedeu thought it must be a local peasant who didn't speak well, and who might have been too shy to Express himself loudly and clearly.
Then the ride continued without further conversation. But when they reached the 710 km mark, the car's lights went out and Dedeu had to stop. Then he noticed what he initially thought was a bus that had overturned on the highway.
There was a large blue light in the center of it, and two smaller, whiter ones on either side. Dede went on to tell how he got out of the car when a powerful white flash blinded him and he felt very hot.
He took cover behind the car door and when he could look up, he saw an object with white lights in the Windows and a green light below moving to the left. He says it all happened in a matter of seconds, and when he returned to the car, he found that the seat where the unknown traveler was sitting was empty. The door was open and the handle was on the floor of the car.
At the same time, the car's extinguished headlights came back on.
Nervous and trembling, he drove to Bahia Blanca and reported the incident to the police.
On the same night, several other reports were received in the same area, including the testimony of Roberto Meisterrena, who reported that at approximately 03.00 am on the same day, he saw a strange vessel emitting flashes of white light and motionless over a hill near national highway 3.
He described the car as "similar to a bus", including also the detail that it had holes similar to Windows.

A 32-year old mechanic, Eduardo Fernando Dedeu, was returning home after attending a diner in Medanos. After traveling a short distance from that town, he noticed someone flagging him for a lift. This was a man wearing a coat with the collar turned up, and a cap covering his head. His face was somewhat more elongated than is normal (other versions state that he wore a roundish hat and that his chin was so large that it almost reached his chest). Dedeu decided to stop for him and the man stepped into the car in silence and sat down beside him. The mechanic asked him whether he was going to Bahia Blanca, and the man answered with something unintelligible. Then Dedeu asked him whether he was from Medanos and the stranger made some sort of incomprehensible reply. Dedeu thought that the man must be a local peasant, who could not talk well, and who possibly was too shy to express himself loudly and clearly. The trip then continued without further conversation. But when they reached the 710km mark, the car’s lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. He then noticed what he at first took to be some kind of bus overturned on the highway. It had a large blue light in the middle and two more lights, somewhat smaller and white, at the sides. Dedeu went on to relate how he had got out of the car, when a powerful white flash of light dazzled him and he felt intense heat. He took shelter behind the door of the car, and when he was able to look up he saw that the object, which had white lights in its windows and a green light on its underpart, was moving towards the left. He says that all this happened in a few seconds and that when he stepped back into the car he found that the seat where the unknown traveler had been was empty. The door was open, and the handle was on the floor of the car. At that same moment the car headlights which had gone out, came on again. Nervous and shaken he drove on to Bahia Blanca. Dedeu made a report of the incident to the police.
That same night there were several other reports in the same area including the testimony of Mr. Roberto Maisterrena who reported that at approximately 0300am on the day in question he saw a strange craft emitting flashes of white light and stationary above a hill near National Highway no. 3. He described the vehicle as being ‘like a kind of bus’ including also the detail that it had opening similar to windows.
