 Bolivia 1973: Farmer Blames UFOs for Disappearance of His Oxen

 La Paz, January 16 (UPI) — A farmer from the Department of Oruro attributes the disappearance of "several yokes of oxen" and other animals to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). 

The correspondent for the evening newspaper *Ultima Hora* reports having been visited by a farmer named Manuel Yucra Catari, 40, who stated that "for the past few days, and with some frequency," luminous objects have been appearing in his community—known as Banderani—leading him to suspect they are UFOs. 

He recounted that on Sunday the 7th, around midnight, a UFO appeared almost directly above the home of another farmer, Santos Sipe. He added that Sipe attempted to strike the UFO—albeit unsuccessfully—using a machete and a club. Yucra's description to the correspondent also notes that the alleged UFOs appear in Banderani between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. The complainant concluded by requesting the assistance of authorities to shed light on the matter.
