Initial data
One of the most famous UFO sightings in the country happened in San Miguel de tucumán. The incident occurred on the ranch of a family Moreno just a few miles from Trancas. According to their history, October 21, 1963, they became witnesses of falling of flying objects from the night sky above the railway line General Belgrano, located just a few metres from the family farm. The ship radiated light, until he rose into the air and disappeared in the direction of the Sierra de Medina.
This event was investigated by the National University of Tucuman (UNT) and was the inspiration for one of the scenes in Steven Spielberg's film "Close encounters of the third kind."
Jolie Moreno is the only living witness of this event, and he remembers it all, despite the fact that he was 77 years old.
That night was very cold. "Too cold for October," says the woman who at the time was 21. Dora Guzman, one of the maids of the family, was going to wash the dishes after dinner and changed my mind because of the "strange lights outside the kitchen". It was then that sister Jolie, Yolanda Moreno who was sleeping, woke up, threw on a robe, grabbed a 38-caliber pistol and went out to the servant to open the gate leading to the farm.
Strange lights were seen above the railway tracks of Belgrano, just a few metres away and looked like "when the fluorescent lamp goes off," explained Moreno.
"There was a pipe that encloses the entire track, and you could see silhouettes of people walking from one light to another. Silhouettes could be our own. In the distance you can see the arms, legs, and head."
Later she said that when her sister wanted to turn on the flashlight to open the gate, the light "like a flamethrower" knocked her and the servant to the ground, causing "burns of the first, second and third degree" on the face.
"A pistol shot was heard in the garden, and my sister ran into the house, desperately shouting "Mom, dad! Wake up! We don't know what's going on!", - says jolie.
She explained that flying saucer that was near the garden, and those that were on the track, took off like a top.
"Siege lasted more or less 45 minutes. They then released another light that reached Trancas. They climbed, slid 80 degrees to the North, and it was a sign of their retreat to the Sierra de Medina, which were lit for two hours," she explained.
Carlos Burgi, UFO OVNI from Tucumán:
"This is a significant case because the ship was seen not only Moreno sisters, but their parents, the servant and neighbors."
Furthermore, the estimated vehicle left little white balls and stains on the grass and train tracks, adds Burg.
UNT researched and analyzed one of the smaller balls, which was 98% pure calcium carbonate (chalk).

Argentina: Tucumán, UFOs and the Story that Inspired Spielberg
One of the country's most notorious UFO sightings occurred in Tucumán. The incident took place at the ranch of the Moreno family only kilometers away from Trancas. According to their story, they witnessed the descent of flying objects from the night sky on October 21, 1963 over the General Belgrano Railroad Line located only a few meters from the family farm. The craft emitted lights until they rose into the air anew and vanished in the direction of the Sierra de Medina. The event was investigated by the Universidad Nacional de Tucuman (UNT) and served as the inspiration for one of the scenes in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Jolié Moreno is the only living witness to the event, and remembers it all in spite of being 77.
It was very cold that night. "Much too cold for October," says the woman, who was 21 years old at the time. Dora Guzmán, one of the family's maidservants, was about to wash the dishes after dinner and changed her mind, on account of the "strange lights outside the kitchen." It was then that Jolié's sister, Yolanda Moreno, who was asleep, woke up, threw on a robe, grabbed a .38 Colt and went outside the house with the servant to open the gate which led to the farm.
Strange lights were visible over the Belgrano railroad tracks, only meters away, looking like "when a fluorescent bulb has gone out," Moreno explained. "There was a tube covering the entire track, and you could see the silhouettes of people walking from one light to another. The silhouettes could have been our own. One could see arms, legs and heads in the distance."
Later, she said that when her sister wanted to turn on the flashlight to open the gate, a light "like flamethrower" knocked her and the servant to the ground, inflicting "first, second and third degree burns" to the servants face.
"The gun wound up in the garden and my sister ran into the house, frantically screaming 'mother, father! Wake up! We don't know what's going on!'," Jolié recalls.
The flying saucer that was near the garden and the ones on the track took off like a spinning top, she explained. "The siege lasted more or less 45 minutes. Then they issued another light that reached as far as Trancas. They went up, slid 80 degrees to the north, and that was the sign of their retreat to the Sierras de Medina, which were illuminated for two hours," she explained.
"The Trancas Case represented a before and after, especially in those days, when talking about UFOs was considered deranged," reflects Carlos Burgi, a ufologist with Tucumán OVNI. "It's a landmark case because the craft were seen not only by the Moreno sisters, but also by their parents, the servant, and neighbors." Furthermore, the alleged vehicles left some small white orbs and spots on the grass and the railroad tracks, Burgi adds. "The UNT came to investigate and analyze (one of the small orbs) which proved to be 98% pure calcium carbonate.
What happened that October evening changed Jolié's life. "Not many have seen what I saw," she stated.
