Recently, the Argentine Navy released a number of documents revealing the details of the high-profile case related to the appearance of a UFO in the city of Necochea in 1962.
According to a protocol drawn up by Captain Omar Pagani, head of the Navy's Investigative Commission, at about eight o'clock in the evening on August 29, 1962, local Osman Alberto Simonini, who works on a mink farm in La Dulce, was returning home in his 1957 Chevrolet truck, when on the 28th kilometer of highway 86, a flying saucer caught up with him.
Simonini was driving at low speed along an unlit road, and when he saw a light behind him, he thought that some car was catching up with him. However, after a few seconds, he found an object of polished metal to his left, similar to two 5-meter diameter "soup plates" joined together, which flew completely soundless at a height of 2 meters from the ground and at a distance of about 3 meters from the car. Two powerful beams of red and blue came out from the bottom of the object.
For almost 200 meters, the truck and the flying saucer walked so close to each other that the driver, who, to his surprise, felt no fear, saw the grass swaying on the ground from the "air or energy" object emerging from the bottom.
Then the UFO rushed forward and after 600 meters made a sharp, almost right angle, turn to the right and stopped. Simonini followed him and saw that the object was hovering over a field 300 meters from the road at a height of one meter. The driver climbed out of the truck and walked over to the mesh fence. He touched the wire and found it was hot. He removed his hands and placed them on the posts holding the net, and felt that they were even hotter. However, after a few meters, the wire was completely cold. Two minutes later, the flying saucer took off at high speed and disappeared into the sky.
The next day, Simonini, along with his brother Hector Orler, a professor at the National School of Technical Education, went 28 kilometers and explored the road and the field where the UFO stopped for 2 minutes, but found no tracks. Then they decided to question the workers of the nearby farms and one of the workers, Italian Salvador Pacarino, reported that at about 8 pm he noticed an approaching bright light, which suddenly disappeared. He decided that it was some people wandering in the dark among the trees and did not close his eyes all night. It turned out that the time of the appearance of the UFO and the bright light on the farm is practically the same.
Simonini reported the incident to the Federal Police Department, the Border Guard Inspector and the Air Force officers in Mar del Plata, in the presence of the notary, Juan José La Terza, who stated (literal text attached):
"Experts doing this kind of research told me that there was nothing extraordinary about this event, since this kind of phenomenon is already considered real, and that the scientific world is waiting for the next stage to establish contact with these objects."

Local ufologist Guillermo Jimenez investigated the case and found that throughout 1962, and especially in July, August and September, an extremely high wave of UFO activity was observed around Nikochey. Similar waves swept across the region in 1965, 1967, 1968, 1972, 1978 and 1980. Eyewitnesses reported objects of a variety of shapes and colors, with some of the UFOs flying out and sinking into the Atlantic Ocean.
