Argentine truck driver Dionisio Lanza was hospitalized in a state of amnesia. A few days later, his memory returned and Dionisio told him what happened to him on the day he disappeared. According to him, he met with the aliens, was on board their ship, where a blood sample was taken from him.


Dionisio L.:

On the night of October 28, 1973, I got into my truck loaded with building materials and drove them to the city of Rio Gallegos. The journey was supposed to be two days. On the way, when I stopped at a gas station, I noticed that one of the tires was lower than the others, I decided to check it when I arrived in the city of Medanos (after 30 km), since I didn't want to waste time on it. I drove 19 km before I noticed that the wheel began to lose air very quickly and went down completely. I had to pull over to the side of the road.


It was cold outside, the clock showed 1:15 a.m. There was a deserted, quiet area around. I took out my tools, jack, keys and started changing the tire myself.


After a while, I noticed a bright yellowish glow in the distance and thought it was the headlights of a large truck. I continued to fix the wheel, not paying attention to the light.

But soon the light flooded all around and became very bright. I wanted to get to my feet to look at the light source, but I realized that my body was not listening to me, I could not move. Looking back with difficulty, I noticed a huge disk-shaped object hovering 6 meters above the ground and three humanoid creatures standing under it and looking at it. He was completely paralyzed and couldn't even speak.


They just stood and looked at me for a few minutes, then one of them came over and helped me up. I wanted to speak, but I couldn't move my tongue. Then another one came up to me with a razor-like instrument, took his index finger and I noticed a few drops of blood that the instrument drew in. I don't remember what happened afterwards.



On November 5, 1973, Dionisio Lanza underwent a course of regressive hypnosis in which he recalled more details of that meeting. He said that after blood was taken from him near the truck, the aliens took him aboard their ship. The room into which he was taken was round, he saw a woman handling a number of instruments that looked like medical ones. One of the men, whom Dionisio identified as the pilot, was sitting at the front of the room in front of the panel, in his right hand was a lever that looked like a kind of joystick. Another man was watching the starry sky through a large monitor on the floor of the room.


The woman wore an orange glove that had spikes on the palm. When she approached Dionisio, she made an incision on the right temporal region. When they finished the operation, they anesthetized and healed the wound. After that, I was brought back, where I walked for several hours in a state of amnesia, until passing cars noticed me. Next he remembers how he ended up in the hospital.

Description of the aliens:


According to Dionisio Lance, the aliens were described as people of the Nordic type. There were two men and a woman. They all had shoulder-length blond hair. They were all about the same height from 1.8 – 2 meters tall, dressed in tight-fitting gray suits, they wore high boots, and gloves on their hands.


Their facial features were like those of humans, only distinguished by a particularly high forehead and elongated slanted blue eyes. They spoke to each other in an incomprehensible language that sounded like the chirping of a bird.

_____________________________

The case of alien abduction of Argentine truck driver Dionisio Llanchi has left a noticeable mark in the history of UFOs. Almost 50 years ago, he experienced a life-changing event involving a flying saucer and three Scandinavian-looking aliens who spoke in a high-pitched voice and took a blood sample from him. After the incident, he calmly arrived at the hospital in Bahia Blanca, but could not learn much due to partial memory loss.

Meeting day

On October 27, 1973, Dionisio Llanca was vacationing at his uncle Enrique Ruiz's house on Chubut Street, just a few minutes from the center of Bahia Blanca, Argentina. Since he had to drive for a long time at night, he took a nap during the day. He woke up in the evening at 6 pm local time and watched TV until 10 pm.

He left the house at half past midnight on Sunday, October 28, 1973, saying goodbye to his uncle, and got into his Dodge 600 truck loaded with construction materials that needed to be transported to the city of Rio Gallegos. For Dionisio, it was an ordinary two-day trip to the south of the country. He had 12 years of driving experience, which allowed him to comply with the conditions even in the dark.

After a 45-minute drive, he stopped at the Esso gas station on Don Bosco Street to refuel. There he noticed that one of the tires was a little short of gas, but he ignored it and decided to check when he got to the city of Medanos to buy time.

While driving on route 3, approximately 11 miles (19 kilometers) away from the city of Bahia Blanca, he realized that the tire was rapidly losing air, so he urgently had to stop to replace it. He regretted that he had not changed it at the Esso gas station, where he had stopped 15 minutes ago to buy some gasoline.

At about 1:15 a.m., he stopped on a dark and deserted roadside on a cold night. He started taking out tools, wrenches, a jack and changing a tire alone, and no one could help him. The road was completely deserted in a wooded area surrounded by complete darkness.

While changing the tire, he noticed that the road was illuminated by an intense yellowish glow about a mile (2 kilometers) away Because of the color, he thought it might be the headlights of some car (“Peugeot”, - he said) and continued to work, not paying more attention. As he knelt down to change the tire, suddenly a light appeared behind him, above the treetops, which became so bright that it illuminated the entire area and changed color to bluish, similar to electric arc welding.

“A few seconds passed, and I put my shoulder to the light, but it became so bright that it covered the entire area. Now the light has changed to a bluish color, similar to electric arc welding. I tried to get up, but I couldn't get up, I didn't have the strength, and the strange thing is that my legs wouldn't obey. I was on my knees. I wanted to stand up and look towards the forest that grew along one side of the road,” Dionisio said.

Looking over his right shoulder, he realized something unexpected: behind him was a huge disc-shaped object suspended about seven meters above the ground, and three standing humanoid creatures were looking at him. He was completely paralyzed and couldn't even speak.

According to Dionisio, they stood and looked at him for about five minutes. Then one of the humanoids grabbed him from behind, holding him by the collar, and lifted him firmly, but not aggressively. He tried to speak, but his voice wouldn't come out. While this humanoid stopped him, another put a razor-like device to the base of the index finger of Dionisio's left hand and took blood from him. He believed he lost consciousness shortly after seeing drops of blood on his finger.

Description of the aliens

The aliens have been described as Nordic-type creatures. They were two men and one woman, whom he recognized by the shape of her breasts and long blond hair that reached to the middle of her shoulders. The men were also blond, but with shorter hair. They were about the same height, 4 to 5 feet (1.70 to 75 centimeters), and wore a very tight one-piece gray uniform, orange shoes and long orange gloves that reached half of their hands. They had no belts, no weapons, no helmets, or anything else. Their facial features were similar to humans, except for high foreheads and elongated eyes. They were talking to each other in a strange language that sounded like a badly tuned radio with screeching and buzzing.

Dionisio could not remember when he woke up, but it is believed that it was between two or three on the same Sunday morning. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was between cars in the courtyard of the rural settlement of Sociedad de Bahia Blanca, about 9 kilometers from the place where the meeting with the aliens took place. He was in a state of amnesia, as he could not even remember his name, episode, truck or his house. He started walking down the road and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he continued on Route 3 and reached the intersection with route 35. One driver noticed him and took him to the police station, from where he was later transferred to a hospital in Bahia Blanca.

It is still a mystery what happened between the moment of the meeting and the moment when he woke up in the “Rural Society of Bahia Blanca”, about 9 kilometers from here, and when Dr. Ricardo Smirnoff treated him in a Spanish hospital. Dr. Altoperro stated that this was a curious case, since Llanca, a young man of about 25 or 26 years old, was in a state of complete amnesia.

At the hospital, he still couldn't remember anything about his past. He didn't know who he was, where he was born, or even who his parents were. He had absolutely no memory of his past. He was constantly crying and asking what city he was in. When his head or hands were touched, he instinctively recoiled, as if it hurt him. He had a severe headache in the area of the right parietal-temporal lobe. The police were notified and he was later transferred to a municipal hospital.

Dr. Ricardo Smirnoff treated him in a Spanish hospital. He said:

“The subject has no visible injuries, but he refuses to touch his head, as if he has a deep illness there. There is also a barely noticeable abrasion on his left eyelid.”

On October 30, at 10:00 pm, when he woke up in his bed at the Municipal hospital of Bahia Blanca, his memory returned, and he recalled this experience in detail, right up to the moment when he lost consciousness. His clothes were intact. He felt the urge to smoke and find out what time it was. His watch, lighter and cigarettes were gone, but he still had his 150,000 pesos. He asked for his truck, he was more worried about his truck than about the UFO and its passengers. He was told that the police found him parked on the side of the road in Villa Bordeu, about 18 kilometers from the city of Bahia Blanca.

Hypnotic regression

Fabio Zerp, a Uruguayan UFO researcher who lived in Argentina, investigated the case of Dionisio and published his book “The Underground Reynaud". After several days and intensive investigations, some information came out, but not much, so they decided to conduct hypnosis sessions as well. Dionisio underwent three hypnosis sessions, which were conducted using pentothal. With the exception of the first one, Dionisio seemed to repeat the same thing at each of the sessions.

On November 5, 1973, Dionisio was hypnotized, which allowed him to tell about events that he could not remember when he was on board the spacecraft for more than an hour. He explained during hypnosis that when they approached the truck, they did a biopsy. A small piece of skin tissue was removed from his left index finger using a razor-like device. Then a yellowish ray of light came out of the ship, which led him into the oval interior of the ship.

Once inside, he watched as the woman handled a number of instruments that he identified as medical and surgical equipment, possibly preparing to inspect it. One of the men, whom Dionisio thought was the pilot, seemed to be sitting at the helm of the ship, holding something like a joystick in his right hand. Another humanoid was watching the starry sky through the same large glass, an image that was repeated on a series of color monitors to the left of Dionisio.

In addition, he explained that the aliens used some kind of translation device to communicate with him in Spanish. At some point, several hoses and cables were thrown out of the ship. The hoses plunged into a small stream, and the cables came into contact with a high-voltage tower located nearby.

He saw a woman, probably a nurse, who made an incision in his right parietal bone. Then, inadvertently, she hit him on the left eyebrow, causing a hematoma (or bruise), which was later examined and cured by human doctors.

Having finished examining his head, the aliens began to anesthetize his wound. At that moment, he was released from the spaceship in a completely unconscious state, and later found wandering the streets in a state of amnesia, and his next memory of the incident was when he woke up in the municipal hospital of Bahia Blanca.

On the other hand, the truck was found in the place where Dionisio claimed to have parked it. A few meters away, it was discovered that a high-voltage tower was damaged. After consulting with the company that supplies electricity to the city, the team led by Fabio Zerpa confirmed that on Sunday, October 28, 1973, between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning, there was an unusual increase in electricity consumption, coinciding with the report of Dionisio Llanchi.

As the days passed, the case became widely known in the district. People and the media started to annoy Dionisio to find out more about this incident. Subsequently, he disappeared from the media, and also left his family and lived a life incognito.

Only in 2013, local journalist Sergio Prieta was able to contact him and remember much better what happened some time ago. He managed to contact Dionisio and headline his note with a rather shocking statement:

“Si me volviera a pasar, no se lo contaría a nadie (If this happened to me again, I wouldn't tell anyone)". 

With these simple words, Dionisio expressed himself in the face of what happened and all that he had to go through, telling about his traumatic experience many years ago, which was not so often heard then.

In addition, in an interview, the trucker commented that he was defamed and used. Despite the fact that many anecdotes told in a state of complete sincerity coincided with what happened that morning, Dionisio's story was rejected ten years after the event. For his part, Prieta, who again heard an amazing story that continues to influence the world of ufology today, commented that “today people are more predisposed to recognize this as an opportunity, since governments have begun to open declassified files.”

The story was finally published in the newspaper La Nueva Provincia on December 8, 2013. It was translated into several languages because the impact and consequences were so great that the international media began to compare the versions that occurred in Argentina with very similar events in other countries.

Original news

On Sunday, 28 October 1973, in the first hour of the morning, truck driver Dionisio Llanca had a fantastic experience. Dionisio, a calm and quiet bachelor arrived at a hospital in Bahia Blanca in a state of total amnesia. Three days later as he regained his memory he related his extraordinary experience – – a night encounter on route H3 with a flying saucer and beings that talked with “chillidos” and who took a sample of his blood.

Dionisio Llanca got up late on Saturday, 27 October 1973 and put on old pants, shirt and dark sweater and lounged about the modest painted cottage on Calle Chubut, only ten minutes from the center of Bahia Blanca. He ate lunch early and napped during the siesta period because he would have to drive all night long.

He arose about six P. M. and watched a television serial, which it should be noted was realistic and direct, and without fantastic elements. About 10:00P. M. he ate a dinner of beef, salad, and two glasses of Cepita, a non-alcoholic beverage, with his uncle Enrique Ruiz. A few minutes after midnight Llanca said goodbye to his uncle and got into his truck, a Dodge 600, loaded with construction material to be delivered to Rio Gallegos, a two day trip. After 12 years of driving the eyes become accustomed to observing conditions, even in the shadow of the street. He discovered that the right rear tire was low. He was of a mind to change it but decided to leave instead. When he left the house it was 12:30. Sunday had already begun. The truck began to roll down route #3. The tire got lower and there was nothing to do but change it. Dionisio regretted not having changed it at the ESSO service station on Calle Don Bosco where he stopped at 15 minutes to 01:00 to get gasoline. Now he would have to get out on the dark and desolate shoulder in the cold of the morning and change it. It was now 01:15 and he was removing tools, wrenches and jack with no one to help. He began changing the tire. “I braked the truck on the shoulder, got down, took out the jack and the tools and began to change the tire. The road was completely deserted. All at once the road was illuminated with an intense yellow light that seemed to be about 2,000 meters distant. Because of the color I thought that they might be the headlights of a Pugeot and continued with my work. A few seconds passed and I had my shoulder to the light but it became so bright that it lighted the whole area. Now the light had changed to a bluish color similar to an electric arc welder. I tried to get up but could not rise; I had no strength, and a strange thing – – my legs would not respond. I was on my knees. I wanted to get up and look towards the woods that grew along one side of the road. Then I saw a great thing in the form of a plate suspended in the air at some seven meters altitude, and three persons at my shoulders looking at me. I tried once more to get up but could not. The paralysis became total and I could not even talk. The three beings stood looking at me for a long time, perhaps five minutes. They were two men and a woman. The woman was between the two men. I believed it was a woman because of the form of the breast and the long hair, blonde, reaching to the middle of her shoulders. The men were also blond with shorter hair in back. The three were about the same height, one meter and 70 or 75 centimeters, and dressed in the same manner: single piece smoky gray coverall suits well fitted to the figure, % yellow boots and long gloves reaching to the middle of the arm of the same color. They had no belts, nor weapons, nor helmets nor anything else. Their faces were like ours except for high foreheads and elongated eyes, like the Japanese and a little tilted. They talked among themselves in a language impossible for me to inderstand. They had no vocal inflections but sounded like a…… like a radio badly tuned with chirps and buzzes. One of them grabbed me by the neck of my sweater and lifted me firmly but without violence. I tried to talk but my voice would not come out. While the one held me up another put an apparatus in the base of my index finger on the left hand. They looked closely at the apparatus. It was like a razor but had a small tube. They applied it to me for several seconds. It did not hurt. When they left I had two drops of blood on my finger. I believe I then passed out because I can remember nothing else.”

Dionisio could not remember when he a-woke. The time is calculated to be between 2 and 3 A. M. on Sunday. When he opened his eyes he was among the rail cars in the yard of the Sociedad Rural de Bahia Blanca, exactly 9 kilometers 600 meters from the point where the encounter took place. He could remember nothing, not even his name, nor the episode, nor the truck, nor his home. He was nauseated and cold. He began walking toward the road guided by the lights of the vehicles. Recently, on the 30th when he awoke in a bed in the Municipal Hospital of Bahia Blanca he remembered the experience in detail. His clothes were intact, folded in the drawers of the bed. He felt a desire to smoke and to know what time it was. He went to his clothes and discovered that his watch was missing, and also his cigarette lighter and cigarettes in a meta! box were missing. The pockets of his pants still contained the 150 thousand pesos that he carried upon leaving home. He asked about his truck which worried him more than the UFO and its occupants. He was told that the police had found it parked on a shoulder in Villa Bordeu, some 18 kilometers from Bahia Blanca, with the jack in place and one tire ready to change. His papers in the glove compartment had not been disturbed.

It is still a mystery concerning what occurred between the time Dionisio awakened among the rail cars, some 10 kilometers from where the encounter took place, and the time when he was treated by Doctor Ricardo Smirnoff at the hospital. “I am a forensic surgeon. I had rotating duty on Sunday the 28th. About 9:30 Dr. Altaperro at the Spanish Hospital called me and said that he had a curious case. I arrived at the hospital about 10:15 and saw a young man of about 25 or 26 years of age in a state of total amnesia. He could remember nothing of his past. He did not know who he was, where he was born, who his parents were or anything about his past. He cried continually and asked what town he was in. The doctor told me that a man had left him at the hospital after encountering him wandering in the center of the city, like a robot, and asking everyone he met where a police box was. At first he thought that he had had an automobile accident on the road. He changed this as he had no injuries. When I touched his head or came near his hand he drew back instinctively as though it would produce pain. He had a bad headache in the right parietal temporal area. I notified the police and had him admitted to the Municipal Hospital.”

Dionisio Llanca is a simple, almost primitive man. In two days of interviews he remained withdrawn and did not even smile. He is serious with a remote sense of humor. One of the doctors characterized him as “innocent.” When he is asked what he thinks about UFOs, he says “Nothing, It doesn’t interest me.” In reality, there are few subjects that -Interest Dionisio except his town, his parents and his work. He does not like to think about the events of that night.

False memories

A person remembers an event, a fragment or a detail that did not actually happen.

They can be formed independently or under the influence of methods of memory recovery therapy (Recovered-memory therapy or RMT), such as regressive hypnosis, guided visualization, drug therapy for memory recovery, etc .In this case, there is an effect called imagination inflation.
