Several locals claim to have seen a demon or an alien (opinions differ) above the power line. After repeated complaints, the police and agents of the local prefecture came to this place. [Witnesses] claim that his size was 25 centimeters. He flew in and began to move, disturbed by the rays of the lanterns.


This weekend, a colorful imp appeared in New Palmyra, suspended over a high-voltage line leading to the port. This phenomenon was reported by several local residents who saw the phenomenon move about four feet across the surface of the wire. The area was visited by police officers and the prefecture. [The figure] shrank until it disappeared around four o'clock in the morning.


The phenomenon caused a sensation in New Palmyra after information spread about an alleged "imp" or alien creature flying to the corner of Ultramar Street in the general direction of the port area.


So the journalist Roberto Tatto told this story on Tuesday on the Cono Sur radio station in New Palmyra and how it was broadcast in Los Angeles, according to eyewitness accounts. 

"The event occurred last Saturday evening at the traffic distributor leading to the port," he explained. "The owner of the store went outside and saw the light. He was amazed to see it at a given height. He remained suspended from one of the wires. He called his wife and some of the customers of his store to come out to watch. They came up and saw from below that the figure had changed color. It had the shape of a doll. They pointed a flashlight at him and he started moving as if the light was bothering him. It was a "doll" 25 centimeters long, moving along a cable. Later, the police arrived with a high-power beam, and she began to move more, as if nervous."

According to this story, the phenomenon was witnessed by several local residents who, according to a fellow journalist, "were afraid to come closer because (the creature) seemed to be irritated by the rays" when it stood over high-voltage wires.


Hours passed, and attempts were made to take pictures on a mobile phone, "but later we saw that it did not work out," they explained. The phenomenon continued until about 4 o'clock in the morning, when the figure slowly shrank until it disappeared. 

The pearl "slime" remained as the only material evidence, a local journalist told La Republica. He claims that eyewitness accounts hint at something with characteristics that were "less mundane."


The debate about whether it was a "demon" or an extraterrestrial manifestation continues to dominate the daily agenda of the residents of New Palmyra.

Uruguay: An “Imp” Over Nueva Palmira

COLONIA – It is the talk of the town in Nueva Palmira. Several local residents claim having seen an imp or an alien – opinions vary – over an electric power line. After repeated complaints, police officers and agents of the local Prefecture visited the site. [Witnesses] claim it measured 25 centimeters. It arrived flying and and would move around, bothered by flashlight beams

A colorful imp appeared in Nueva Palmira this weekend, suspended over a high voltage line leading to the port. The phenomenon was reported by several locals, who saw the phenomenon moving some four feet over the surface of the wire. Police and Prefecture personnel visited the area. The [figure] shrank until it vanished around four in the morning.

The phenomenon has caused a sensation in Nueva Palmira, after word spread that an alleged “imp” or extraterrestrial being had arrived, flying, to the corner of Calle Ultramar in the general direction of the port zone.

This is how journalist Roberto Tatto told the story on Tuesday on Nueva Palmira’s Cono Sur radio station, and how it was repeated to LA REPUBLICA, according to eyewitness accounts. “The event occurred last Saturday night at the traffic distributor that leads to the port,” he explained. “A shop owner came outside and saw a light. He was startled to see it at a given altitude. It remained suspended from one of the wires. He summoned his wife and some of his shop’s patrons to come out for a look. They approached and saw from below that the figure changed colors. It had the shape of a doll. They pointed a flashlight at it, and it started to move around, as if bothered by the light. It was a 25 centimeter long “doll” moving over the cable. Later on, the Police arrived with high powered beams and it began moving more, as if becoming nervous. It moved its head and shuddered.”

According to this story, the phenomenon was witnessed by several locals, who according to the fellow journalist “ were afraid to come any closer, because (the being) seemed be annoyed by the beams” as it stood over the high-voltage wires.

Hours went by and efforts were made to photograph with a cellphone, “but we later saw that it didn’t come out right,” they explained. The phenomenon lasted until around 4:00 a.m., when the figure contracted slowly until it vanished. A pearl-colored “goo” was left behind as the only tangible evidence, the local journalist told La Republica. He claims that the eyewitness accounts hint at something with characteristics that were “less than mundane.”

Discussion over whether it was an “imp” or an extraterrestrial manifestation continues to dominate the daily agenda among the residents of Nueva Palmira.
