(March 23, 2010) io9.com today reports a rash of UFO sightings in earthquake-stricken Chile. The country was ravaged by an 8.8 magnitude tremor last February 27. Chileans reported seeing unidentified flying objects during the night of the quake.
UFO researcher Rodrigo Fuenzalida noted that sightings are concentrated in Las Condes, Peñalolén, Providencia and Colina. According to Fuenzalida, witnesses described the UFO as resembling the moon. In Isla Robinson Crusoe, people reported seeing a mysterious object rise from the sea just before the earthquake.
Fuenzalida also mentioned cases where people saw humanoid creatures that were described as "luminous men". He said that people were reluctant to report the creatures because they fear "they will not be believed".
