Bolivia

The Bolivian city of Tarija, where this phenomenon occurred, is known for frequent UFO sightings and other unexplained phenomena. Moreover, this region is considered one of the main "hot spots" of UFOs in the country.

One notable case occurred in May 1978, when hundreds of people living on the border of Bolivia and Argentina claimed to have witnessed the crash of a spaceship in Mecoya.

Described as "the most reliable case of a UFO crash in South America," this unsolved mystery has attracted the attention of not only locals, but also the US military. The cylindrical object that crashed into the mountainside aroused curiosity and speculation, plunging eyewitnesses into awe and fear. Corporal Natalio Farfan Ruiz, a military man from Bolivia, even admitted that at that moment he thought that "the end of the world had come."
