Initial data
Felipe Flores reported the observation, which occurred on Wednesday, September 12 in Saldungaray, in the southern part of the province of Buenos Aires.
That night he went hunting with his stepson, 17 years old. They drove for about twelve kilometers up hill in the region.
At 21:30 they both could see a strange yellow light to the South. This light was static and just a few degrees above the horizon. Within a few minutes it changed to a reddish color and then disappeared altogether, making a few flares before.
Because of goustaro humana they concluded that the object was only a few miles from their location.
They studied the place with the help of astronomical software, and the only star visible at 21:30 o'clock on the southern horizon, was Canopus, but with the value of 0.9. Her observation because of the fog is unlikely.
At the same time, but in the region of Puerto Madero, capital Federal district, Walter Ruiz Diaz and his girlfriend witnessed a similar phenomenon in the Rio de La Plata.

Original news
Once again our contributor Felipe Flores, the protagonist of the event that took place on August 1st, has informed us of a remarkable sighting that occurred on Wednesday, September 12 in Saldungaray, a locality in southern Buenos Aires province. That night, he went out hunting with his stepson, 17, and traveled some twelve kilometers to a hill in the region.
At 21:30 hours both were able to see a strange, yellowish light toward the south. This light was static and only a few degrees over the horizon. Over the course of several minutes, it changed to a reddish color until it vanished altogether, not without giving off a few flashes before doing so.
While the witnesses were unable to specify the distance, the night, covered in a fine layer of fog, helped them tell the aerial body was only a few kilometers distant from their location.
Astronomy software packages were consulted and the only star visible at 21:30 hours on the southern horizon was Canopus, but with a magnitude only -0.9, added to the prevailing fog, made it unlikely as the possible cause of some confusion. At that same time, but in the region of Puerto Madero, in Capital Federal (Federal District), Walter Ruiz Diaz and his girlfriend were witnessing a similar phenomenon toward the Río de la Plata.
