Glowing oval objects from power lines in Venezuela on the morning of 12 October.1966 around 1 am.

Francisco Arrieta was driving on the highway between El Guapo and Barcelona, East of Caracas (Venezuela). The high voltage cables are almost parallel to the road leading to the sprawling oil industry in Caripito, Maturin, El Tigre and Anaco. Arrieta got myself a new camera and photographed various objects to test the camera and its accessories.

Arriving at the area of the highway halfway between El Guapo and Barcelona, he stopped the car to explore the scenery and take a picture of the electric tower. Then he heard a faint but insistent buzzing sound intensified. He, looking around to see what could be the cause, he saw a strange object of a definite oval shape, although a little transparent at the edges, which seemed to be pulsating.

Looks like he followed the path of electric wires on the towers, which shone as he passed. Arrieta was nervous, but remembering that he had in his hands was a camera, he focused it on the object that stood upon the tower, and took a picture. At the same time a truck approached the tower, suddenly stopped, and he saw the driver trying to start the engine.

Then lit pulsating object continued on his way along the route in the direction of Barcelona, a truck engine started, and the driver continued on his way, and Arrieta was left standing, stunned. When He got to Barcelona he heard that for two nights in a row people have reported seeing lighted objects in the sky, and that the city of Cumana and Barcelona were subjected to repeated power failures which have been associated with overloading power lines.

Skeptical photographers of "El Universal" said that white object shown in the photograph may be the result of the formation of an air bubble during the passage of the film in the locking mechanism or setter, and the trapped air causes excessive development of white areas of the bladder.

The objection, however, ignores the fact that Mr. Arieta

a) heard a buzzing sound coming from the object

b) saw a luminous object moving along precisely and along high voltage cables

C) saw, when he stood upon the tower

d) saw the pickup stop and the fact that he could move only when

d) a pulsating luminous object disappeared.

Photographic laboratory which made this reproduction for APRO, analyzed the negative and confirm that the air bubble could have an impact on the negativity.

Original news

luminous Oval Over Power lines in Venezuela On the morning of the 12ih oI October. 1966. around 1 a.m., Francisco Arrieta was driving along the highway between El Guapo and Barcelona east of Caracas, Venezuela. High tension cables run almost parallel to the road leading to the sprawling petroleum industrial complex in Caripito, Maturin, El Tigre and Anaco. Arrieta had acquired a new camera and was photographing various objects to test the camera and its accessories. On arriving at the region of the highway midway between El Guapo and Barcelona he stopped his car to view the scenery and took photos of the electric towers. He then heard a slight but insistent humming sound which increased in intensity and on looking around to see what could be causing it, he saw a strange object of a definite ovoid shape, though somewhat diluted at the edges, which seemed to be pulsating. It appeared to be following the path of the electric wires on the towers which glowed as the object passed by. Arrieta became nervous at the strange sight, but remembering he had the camera in his hands, he focussed it on the object which stopped over the tower, and took a photo. At the same time a pick-up truck which had approached the tower suddenly stalled, and he could see the driver trying to restart the engine. The lighted pulsating object then continued its course along the cable towards Barcelona, the truck engine started and the driver continued on his way, and Arrieta remained standing there, dumbfounded. When Arrieta reached Barcelona he heard that for two nights in succession people had reported seeing lighted objects in the skies and that the cities of Cumana and Barcelona were subjected to repeated power failures which were attributed to overloading on the transmission lines. Skeptical photographers of “El Universal” said that the white object shown on the photograph could be the result oI a bubble of air produced on passing the film to the fixer or setter” and the trapped air caused over-development the white region of the bubble. The objection however, does not take into considerationlh e fact that Mr. Arieta (a) heard a humming sound which was produced by the object; b) saw the Luminous object moving precisely over and along the high tension cables; c) saw when it stopped over the tower; d) saw the stalling of the pick-up truck and the fact that it could only start when e) the pulsating luminous object liad moved away. The photographic laboratory that made this reproduction for APRO analyzed the negative and pronounced.it authentic stating that ro sort of air bubble could have produced the effect on the negative.

Defects in old photos

There are a number of defects specific to film images. They are connected with the peculiarities of the film and principle photo.

The film in essence is a strip of transparent synthetic plastic, supported on her a photosensitive layer of chemical substances that can alter its transparency or properties under the action of light.
