Record summary
On 31 July 1995, an Aerolíneas Argentinas flight approaching Bariloche reportedly encountered an unexplained luminous object, while ground observers and airport personnel also reported unusual lights. The event is regularly cited as one of Argentina’s best-known modern aviation UFO cases because it involved cockpit testimony, air-traffic communications and a defined airport setting. Interpretations range from an unidentified aerial object to misidentified astronomical or atmospheric phenomena. Verification should prioritize aviation records, pilot interviews and contemporaneous Argentine reporting rather than later documentary dramatizations.
