Кордильера-де-лос-Андес

Chile

We were with a friend inside our tent, telling jokes and talking about anything, when suddenly a large light, accompanied by a hum, illuminated the entire interior of our tent. We stood motionless, speechless with fear, for it was impossible to see anything like this in the place where we were.

We didn't see the alleged UFO, but it was something we don't comment on anymore to this day. The next day, going down to Coya by the river, we found a man who we thought was dead in the river, we did not want to approach, it was scary, and on arrival at Rancagua, we alerted the Carabinieri.

The next day, the news (tvn red o'higgins) reported that they had found the person they were looking for three months ago. I don't have any more information, that's all I know.

My name is ((name removed)), he studied commercial engineering at the University of Concepcion, Concepcion, Chile.

Summary: Estabamos con un amigo en el interior de nuestra carpa, contando chistes y hablando de cualquier cosa, cuando de repente una gran luz acompañada de un zumbido iluminó todo el interior de nuestra carpa. Quedamos inmóviles, sin habla, muertos de miedo, ya que en el lugar que estábamos era imposible ver algo asi. Ahora, el supuesto ovni no lo vimos, pero fue algo que no comentamos mas hasta el dia de hoy. Al otro dia, al bajar hacia Coya por un río, encontramos a una persona que creímos que estaba muerta en el rio, no nos quisimos acercar, nos dio miedo y al llegar a Rancagua dimos aviso a carabineros. Al otro dia aparecio en las noticias(tvn red o’higgins), que había encontrado carabineros a una persona que buscaban hace tres meses. Mas información no tengo , es todo lo que se. Mi nombre es((Nombre delteted)), estudió Ingeniería comercial en la Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile.
