Kilometer 29
In early May, 1980, at about 8:30 PM, according to the Argentine newspaper
El Independiente of May 14, a busload of country people and schoolteachers were riding toward the city of Chapas la Sur to go to work. (I wonder if “PM” wasn’t a typo – that seems rather late for country folk and teachers to start work.)
Anyway, the bus made one of its usual stops at “Km 29”, “where the road that goes to Corral de Isaac intersects with the one to Las Toscas,” according to bus driver Dionisio Pere. At that intersection all the passengers of the bus saw something bizarre in the sky: a vast, well-lit “city” with “houses”, windows and multicolored lights.
This sounds like a spectacular UFO sighting, but the witnesses were of a different mind. “It did not seem to be an ‘airship’, rather a city,” as Sr. Pere put it. The bus driver also told the
El Independiente reporters that the inhabitants of this semi-arid junction had seen the “city” a few days earlier. One of the schoolteachers added that he had seen the phenomenon on several occasion, but told only a few close relatives, fearing ridicule.
Although theories of the Aurora Australis, a mirage of an actual city nearby and the inevitable alien mothership were given, the passengers of the bus simply repeated: “It was a city in the air.”
Jane Thomas, who translated the newspaper story for the
INFO Journal, points out that the sighting area is a very seismically active zone, a factor in many fortean events. The
INFO editors note that the local people were probably familiar with auroras. Also, it was surprising than none of the witnesses seemed to think it was a religious vision or a spaceship.
Finally, the “city”, when it did appear, was visible only from the small area surrounding “Km 29”. Perhaps in some parallel world there is an advanced metropolis rising to the clouds at the same point a humble bus stop sits in our own.
