Argentina: A UFO Abduction in Hernandarias?
By Luis Burgos, FAO-ICOU (Argentine UFO Foundation - United Field Researchers)

Hernandarias is a community in Entre Rios located some 75 kilometers in a straight line to the north of the provincial capital, the lovely city of Paraná. It is not an area known for frequent UFO reports, but on the evening of Monday, 22 May 2017, shortly after 21:00 hours, a relevant incident occurred that merits objective investigation, taking several factors into account:

A 13-year-old boy MAY have been the victim of a UFO abduction for several minutes. The boy had left his home to pick up some things and headed toward another dwelling some 50 meters away. Several minutes later, a 25-year-old relative noticed there was a problem with the door of this structure and went out to assist him. Thus, while trying to solve the problem, the young man, standing a scant three meters from his relative, heard a noise followed by a bright light and remembers nothing more. He "reappeared" several blocks distant at a taxi stand, looking confused and stunned.

At this point, the person closest to him thought he must have returned home, as he could not see him. The astonishment of the rest of the family is readily imaginable when they noticed the boy was no longer there, neither inside nor outside his home. A search began. They tried to contact him by cellphone to no avail. Ten minutes later, they managed to reach him [by phone] and learned of his whereabouts. Relatives went to collect him and take him to a hospital, where he was subjected to blood and urine analyses, after which he was found to be in fit condition, that is to say, not presenting any anomalous symptoms. The local police became involved through Commissioner Diego Wasinger and the corresponding sealed proceedings commenced.

During the early hours of the morning, Marcelo Martinich got in touch with me to apprise me of the situation, and we hammered out the following steps together. First, I contacted Commissioner Wasinger, who kindly answered the questions posed to him. The official, who had just returned from the teenager's place of residence, said the young witness is being "contained" by his relatives, that he knows where he is in time and space, and that he did not make any statements to the press. He considers the boy to be a normal person. The matter of his having been "teleported" is another matter entirely. It is interesting to note that we have a 10 minute window as the young boy's disappearance period, a stretch of time one could consider very brief when dealing with abductions, although not impossible. Moreover, Wasinger confirmed that the cellphone had been confiscated and that the taxi stand where the boy was found is a kilometer away from the dwelling. Finally, he added that the relative heard no noises and did not see the brightness perceived by the main witness. We would like to thank the commissioner for having answered our questions, and among other things, he was startled to learn about the famous case involving policeman Sergio Pucheta, who was abducted in Dorila, La Pampa, many years ago (see Inexplicata: The Argentinean Police Officer Tells His Story at http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2006/03/argentina-argentinean-police-officer.html).

Obviously, this bizarre incident has just started and it is all a matter of time. This is a complicated case that could have all manner of pathways. Research is ongoing.
