Chile: A UFO over San Fabián
By Edgar Brizuela – La Discusión (newsroom)

A somewhat suspicious image of an unidentified flying object was taken by sheer chance at San Fabian by a group of tourists from Chillán.

In the balsa area, where the north and south banks of the Nuble River meet, a family group was taking photos of the Cordilleran area. After inspecting the shots, the noticed the presence of an unusual spot on the image captured by the digital camera’s lens.

After this, the event was remarked upon throughout the commune, where sightings of objects of unknown provenance are not strange in the least.

The photo was taken by tourist Alejandro Sandoval, from Chillán, who circulated it among friends and acquaintances, who passed it along to others in turn, forming a network of contacts that finally submitted it to this newspaper.

Similar images have been taken, especially in the region adjacent to the Chillán Volcano. In fact, photos of this sort were taken in Pinto in previous years.
Thus, there exists a series of visual documents that attest to the existence of a little-known phenomenon, according to Cristian Fernandez, the mayor of San Fabian, who furnished the material obtained by sheer chance in the Cordilleran commune.
