At about 10:00 pm, they were sitting and playing cards when dona Esperanza suddenly thought she heard a car approaching the farm, and, concentrating on this sound, she interrupted the game of cards and got up from the table.

Then all three saw how a powerful red light entered their house through the windows and doors. Going to the window, they saw an intense red light moving back and forth across the Pajarillo hills, and a few seconds later they saw something emitting this red light fly over their farm, hitting a large willow that grew about 10 meters from the house . Then the red light disappeared and everything became quiet and calm.

The next day, Esperanza left the house and noticed that the willow had changed the green color of the foliage, now all the leaves were reddish in color. And after a while the leaves just as quickly turned yellow. It looked as if the tree had been doused with some kind of acid.

The next morning, Doña Esperanza’s son Manuel Gómez was returning from a night’s work and driving to the farm when he suddenly noticed a strange black spot on the southeast slope of Pajarillo Hill.

He told his family about this, and the next day Manuel and his son Gabriel Gomez set off in that direction to inspect the unusual spot.

When they arrived at the site, it appeared to be a spontaneous fire, but the men immediately knew something was wrong when they examined the burnt grᴀss. For some reason, the grᴀss was burned only from above and completely undamaged from below, which was very different from the picture of an ordinary forest fire.

In a matter of days, the story of the strange red light coming from the U̳F̳O̳ and the unusual fire spread widely among the local population and soon reached Mayor Diego Cesa, who was friends with the Gomez family and immediately sent a research team to the fire site. Dona Esperanza told them everything she had seen that night, including the damaged willow tree.

The pH๏τo below shows Gabriel Gomez painting in the wet sand a round flying object that he saw in the night sky. This group also visited the site of the fire and inspected everything that was there. And that was just the beginning.

When articles about the incident got into the media, journalists and various scientists began to come to the house of dona Esperanza en mᴀsse. Just at this time, the affected willow began to shed its leaves, “as if something had accelerated its biological time,” eyewitnesses said.

Samples were taken of the bark and leaves of the willow and the trees growing near it, which were then sent to a laboratory in Buenos Aires, where they studied them and came to the conclusion that chlorophyll was somehow extracted from the tree.

This was confirmed by an attempt to wet the leaves, which proved impossible. By the way, when this willow completely shed all its leaves, then after a while it again overgrown with leaves, normal and green, as if nothing had happened. Further more.
