A now-declassified intelligence document titled "Argentina Unidentified Flying Objects" reveals that U.S. agencies were monitoring foreign reports of UFO activity, including confirmed sightings logged in Argentina.
Though the report includes only a brief page from a larger file, it confirms that the phenomenon was global-and of interest to military intelligence.
UFO activity was tracked not just domestically, but across borders by U.S. agencies.
📍 Argentina’s Sky Became an Intelligence Subject
The page doesn’t include specifics about the objects or witnesses.
But its inclusion in a CIA file implies:
-
The sighting originated from credible sources, likely military or law enforcement
-
The report was flagged and routed through U.S. intelligence channels
-
Even brief regional sightings were seen as strategically relevant during the Cold War
This wasn’t a press clipping or a rumor.
It was archived under official unidentified aerial activity.
đź§ľ A Global Picture Begins to Form
This fragment joins a broader pattern of international UFO documentation collected by the U.S. during the 20th century:
-
Brazil, Chile, and Argentina had numerous military-linked reports
-
The U.S. gathered, translated, and stored these events, even if they weren’t disclosed to the public
-
Files like this suggest foreign UFO encounters were assessed for national security implications
Argentina’s entry into this record proves the skies were being watched-everywhere.
And when something unexplained appeared, someone took notes.
The page does include specifics – it gives a place and a date, and a description of the object as seen in two photographs taken by a photographer for the local paper, as well as observations of its movements. If Bahia Blanca still has a local paper, they might have archived from 21st May 1962. It would be interesting to see the photos.
