UFO over Lenga, Chile

According to the Chilean newspaper Crónica for July 23, 2007, 18 year old Victoria Ampuero photographed an unidentified flying object.

The events took place on Thursday, July 19 at 14:49 hours as she was photographing the landscape visible from her home in Lenga (Chile).

According to Victoria, the UFO was not visible to her eyes and only became aware of their presence when she checked the images on screen, describing the object as a "craft".

Until now, no photographic expert has checked the material. However, the paper's newsroom contacted astronomer Paris Bustos of the Penco Observatory, who said that the image is interesting and that many UFO sightings are really astronomical objects, atmospheric phenomena or camera problems.

Cronica has not published the photo in question, although it does dedicate a segment of its cover to this news item.

An American Demonology: Flying Saucers Over the White House
- Colin Bennett

Captain Edward Ruppelt was head of the US Air Force UFO investigations in the early 1950s and author of The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, the first book to look into what President Eisenhower termed 'the military industrial complex' and how it dealt with this strange, new phenomenon.

An American Demonology is not a book aimed at research specialists. Easy to read, it discusses the work of Captain Ruppelt, who tried desperately to convince the US Air Force that UFOs were real. It also takes a broad look at the politics of American technology and science within the military culture of the era, sightings of UFOs over Washington in the summer of 1952, Project Grudge and the burgeoning media interest in flying saucers.
