October 21, 1963 UFO Assault Incident Genuine Event
Skeptics would have everyone believe that there is no Moreno Ranch in
Cordoba, Argentina. Skeptics want folks to believe the Moreno family is
a figment of the imagination. Skeptics contend that the entire 1963 UFO
incident was pure fabrication. It is true that a search of the event on
the internet fails to reveal anything pertaining to the horrifying
encounter. It is also a known fact that such cases were almost
commonplace in South America during the late 1950s and early 1960s. UFOs have always had it in for South America.
First Hand Witnesses Were Indeed Flesh And Blood
Actual witnesses to the event skeptics claim never occurred were
Antonio Moreno, 72 and Teresa Moreno, 63. Names of other family members
and ranch hands were not readily available. Francisco Tropuano who
resided less than a mile from the Moreno Ranch witnessed six UFOs depart
moments after the
incident.The
Morenos contended that the family was terrorized by six metallic discs
approximately 25 feet in diameter. This horrifying encounter included
light beams and tremendous heat. Similar to other UFO events.
Newspaper Reporter Provides Further Verification
A reporter from the Clarim of Tranca, Argentina confirmed a pungent
sulfur smell at the ranch house when he visited the Morenos two days
later. Factual accounts of the bizarre incident were published in the
October 24, 1963 editions of Tribuna Da Imprensa of Rio De Janeiro and La Nacion of Buenos Aires.
Three newspapers displayed interest in the puzzling incident. Newspaper
accounts of the case once existed but have been impossible to locate.
It is as if all copies of target publications were eliminated. Not even
any newspaper morgue copies. Strange!
THE FOLLOWING IS ALL THAT IS KNOWN OF THE PERPLEXING INCIDENT AS IT APPEARS IN MORENO RANCH UFO MYSTERY ANOTHER LOOK
Superior 1963 UFO Incident Has Virtually Disappeared
An apparent UFO assault of historical significance took place at 9:30
am on October 21, 1963 at a ranch in Cordoba, Argentina. I saw
photographs of actual case participants in UFO publications of the
1960s. Since I have sold off my earliest UFO magazines from my personal
collection I have been unable to relocate those articles or photographs.
I do remember that the incident caused a major stir in the UFO
community when it initially occurred. Accounts of the case on the
worldwide web simply do not presently exist!
Internet Mention Of Case Points To Single Publication
The Moreno UFO incident is recorded via the internet in Flying Saucer
Reader by Jay David which was published in 1967. That is highlighted in
the following edited version of contents…The chase in Rapid City, South Dakota / Edward J. Ruppelt. – Ufos in the deep freeze / Brad Steiger.
– Terror at the Moreno Ranch / Brad Steiger. – Ufos and the sonic boom / W. Gordon Allen. – Visitor from Venus / George Adamski. – Contact by automatic reading / George Hunt Williamson…That is it as far as my internet search.
Another Source Of Information From Unusual Area
In addition to the Brad Steiger account I also located Terror At
Moreno Ranch which was published in UFO Encounters published in 1978 by
Golden Press of the Western Publications
Company.The
account originally appeared in the truth based comic book series under
the Gold Key/Whitman imprints which presented factual UFO incidents in
an illustrated format. I highly recommend these comic books to UFO
novices and experts alike. All of the classic cases are listed plus a
few which slipped through the cracks.
Encounter Begins When Peaceful Sleep Interrupted
Antonio Moreno and his wife Teresa were awaken at 9:30 am by a
frightened ranch hand who was visibly shaken over unusual happenings at
the nearby railroad tracks. When Moreno looked he saw a brilliant light
floating above a number of men who seemed to be inspecting the tracks.
The Moreno Ranch is near Tranca in the Cordoba Province. The wife of
Moreno was determined to walk the half mile down to the tracks to see
what all the commotion was about. Moreno knew it was pointless to
attempt to dissuade her once her mind was made up.
Disc Shaped Object Puts Stop To Intended Inspection
A disc shaped object 25 feet in diameter swooped down on the
terrified woman just outside the ranch house. Her screams woke the
household as she raced back inside. All of the household members plus
ranch hands watched as the glowing disc directed a beam of light at the
house as it hovered at treetop level. The light beam struck the woman
plus moved over the body of one of the children. Moreno was shocked as
four other discs joined the one at treetop level. One other disc began
firing light beams as the three other discs hovered 210 feet away.
All Efforts Were Made To Avoid Light Beams
Those inside avoided windows and attempted to hide behind furniture
to avoid the light. One of the discs then projected a red-violet beam
which caused the house to heat up like an oven. Household members who
refused to exit the structure for fear of their lives were forced to
endure suffocating temperatures for 40 minutes. The men in silvery suits
at the tracks then boarded discs at which point the light beam attack
ended. Discs clearly visible to all within the home began to move away.
It was at this point that silent watchdogs finally made some noise.
Mist Which Smelled Like Sulphur Hung Over Trees
Witnesses said a thick mist like smoke which had a smell of
sulpher remained near the trees for several minutes after the discs had
departed. Visitors could smell the sulphur in the house days after the
incident. Newspaper accounts were published in Tibuna Da Imprensa and La
Nacion. This is important to counter untruthful allegations that the
entire event was made up. As I said, I distinctly remember seeing
photographs of the case participants. Heat attacks by UFOs are not
uncommon especially outside the United States.
Independent Eyewitness Spots Six UFOs
A man who resides a mile from the Morenos said he witnessed six UFOs
traveling in formation at 10:20 pm. He discussed the sighting with
family and friends prior to the Moreno event becoming public. A Brazil truck driver had
brush with UFO light beams two days before Morenos. Beams which forced
rig into ditch came from disc 25 feet in diameter. Four revolver rounds
fired at the UFO by the terrified witness understandably had no effect
whatsoever. Never a wise idea to fire weapons at nearby UFOs. They may
decide to retaliate!
Terrible Physical Injuries Serve As Undeniable Proof
Eugenio Douglas ran until he located a police station. The hysterical
man was covered in welt like burns which were deemed strange and out of
ordinary by medical professionals. A doctor who examined the man could
offer no explanation for possible cause of injuries. Heat injuries
related to UFOs are not uncommon worldwide but seem to occur more
frequently in South America. One notable exception comes to us from
Canada where a solitary witness sustained chest burns after approaching and touching a landed UFO. Never touch landed UFOS!
Silence Group Must Love Case Disappearance
Did this UFO incident occur? Yes. Has it been explained? No.
Ridiculed? Yes. The Silence Group earned a stalemate on this historical
incident. Multiple witnesses. Physical evidence. Newspaper publications.
Remnants days after encounter. Corroborating witnesses. Yet it has sunk
like a stone into the ocean. Perhaps many believe the ie that a writer
with an overactive imagination made whole hing up? Did he make up photos
of ranch and participants too? No! This case remains one of strongest
in UFO literature that no one is aware of! More is the pity!
