Commercial Jet Avoids Collision With UFO Over Bariloche

On a clear night in June 1996 a commercial flight approaching San Carlos de Bariloche airport in Argentina encountered a large glowing disc shaped object that forced the pilot to take evasive action.

The aircraft was on final approach when the crew and passengers observed the bright object hovering and maneuvering at high speed near the runway. At the same moment the entire city suffered a complete power blackout lasting several minutes.

Air traffic controllers on the ground also reported seeing the strange lights and noted that radar returns showed an unidentified object in the vicinity of the plane.

Multiple independent witnesses including police officers and residents described the same disc with intense white and colored lights that moved silently and defied conventional aircraft performance.

Argentine aviation authorities conducted an investigation but offered no conventional explanation for the sighting or the coincidental blackout.

The incident remains one of the best documented UFO encounters in South America with pilot testimony radar data and numerous civilian accounts all aligning on the details.
