CRUZ DEL SUR UFO PROJECT: INAUGURATION OF THE FIRST FIXED STATION FROM RANCUL (La Pampa – Argentina)
By Carlos Ferguson
With great enthusiasm and within the framework of the Cruz del Sur Binational UFO Project, the launch of one of the key areas of the same was made possible: the establishment of the first fixed station from Rancul (La Pampa – Argentina).
This took place on Saturday, November 30th in the hall of the “Jorge Newbery” Club of that city, at 7:00 p.m.
In a framework of 40 attendees, and also press, the event was attended by Mr. Manuel Vetrone (who is in charge of the fixed post in a field of his property).
Also present was Colonel Ariel Sánchez Ríos (Uruguayan Air Force), and author of this note, to make the presentation through a projection of almost an hour in length (which all readers can see by entering the link found below in this same note).
This is part of one of the aspects of the project. To this we must add several theoretical works that are being worked on. The possibility of capturing it is fortuitous and remote, but the conditions are given since there is little or no light pollution, flat terrain with a large number of cameras covering the ground, and other important elements that will be added.
Below are some of the images of the event, and at the end of the note the link to enter the conference given in Rancul.

THEORETICAL STUDIES
We must highlight that the Project is already working on several practical and theoretical aspects, in addition to the first permanent position for possible recruitment.
In this regard, we must highlight the special temporary studies in the Argentine casuistry, the binational ones of the best Non-Conventional cases of both countries, the study on landing witnesses, the physiological effects, the electromagnetic ones, the most complete study on colors detected in landing cases, UFO sound and non-sound effects in relation to distance, etc.
PRESENTATION AND CONFERENCE
Some historical aspects of the phenomenon were briefly presented, such as:
a – Historical approach highlighting the year 1952, General Samford’s conference
b – The politics of secrecy
c – The amazing characteristics of some aerial cases of pilots and UFOs
d – Brief review of the Polanco case (July 31, 1995) and comparison with another international aerial case.
e – Overview with graphics on the analysis of 2,000 cases of landings in Argentina (study by C. Ferguson covering the period 1947 – 2024).
f – Some aerodynamic characteristics of UFOs and their electromagnetic and physiological effects
g – The current disastrous state of the Internet on the UFO subject (reviewed by some examples of sensationalist press)
h – Several quotes from Dr. Jacques Vallée, calling for the need for a rational study in contrast to certain beliefs.
i – Conjectures (based on Dr. Vallée’s 6-layer model and Skinner’s Reinforcement Hypothesis)
j – The 4 meta messages that the phenomenon transmits to us (hypothesis of the project consultant and great Argentine ufological pioneer, Lic. Ángel Díaz), and that we can conjecture through the statistical data (Limited Contact – Less massive impact – Avoid damage, or the least possible – Demonstration of superiority).
k – Report on the Comet and the projects for detecting the phenomenon (Starlight and Hessdalen)
l – Statements by Colonel Ariel Sánchez Ríos (Uruguay) at the Foz Iguazú Congress (2012), which are conclusive and anticipatory of the hypotheses formulated today by the Pentagon.
m – Detail of the instruments of the first observation post in Rancul (La Pampa – Argentina)
o – Messages of congratulations at the international level (Dr. J. Vallée and Erling Strand) and from Argentina (Prof. Oscar Uriondo)
p – The Priority of the Witness (words by Dr. Jacques Vallée) and Carlos Ferguson, about a witness of the Camet case (1968 – Mar del Plata – Argentina)
q – Closing by the head of the first fixed station of the Project (Lic. Manuel Vetrone) and questions from the public to the exhibitors. Colonel Ariel Sánchez Ríos referred to some outstanding and unconventional cases in the Uruguayan case study. Carlos Ferguson thanked Manuel Vetrone for being part of the dream of many researchers. At the end of the event, some people from the audience approached to share experiences and cases in the area.

Regarding the cases of electromagnetic effects in vehicles in Argentina in relation to distance, work that I was able to do a few months ago, already in line with the Cruz del Sur UFO Project, I have had the great flattery of receiving a communication from the great scientist Mark Rodeghier ( Center For Ufo Studies), who points out:
«Mr. Ferguson: I was not aware of your numerous studies of UFO reports in Argentina, and especially your analysis of cases of vehicle jamming. This is excellent work and I appreciate the fact that you compared the distribution of these reports in Argentina with others studies, including those of my CUFOS colleague Don Johnson, and my original monograph. Their comparison with reports without vehicle interference is something that may not have been done anywhere else.»

This is a source of pride, not only personally, but also for all of us who have this approach and aim for a consistent line of work in the Cruz del Sur UFO Project.

The author Carlos Ferguson works in the Educational area in the Province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). He is also a professor of artistic drawing and has been dedicated to researching the UFO topic for 48 years, when being a disbeliever, he had a close encounter no more than 35 meters away with a disc-shaped UFO. He was the first civilian advisor in Ufology for the Argentine Air Force (2011 to 2017). He has courses in Satellite Technology, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems. Author of 7 books and the largest collection of landing cases in Argentina, with classified events. He has also conducted studies on cases of pilots and UFOs in Argentina, as well as underwater objects and, more recently, on the physiological and electromagnetic effects on witnesses. Hundreds of talks and notes over almost 5 decades show him with a line of work adjusted to the parameters of statistics. He is dedicated to daily statistical work, but totally outside the environment of ufological participants, maintaining some selective contacts.
