Representative cases

1995Bariloche UFO incidentOn 31 July 1995, Aerolíneas Argentinas Flight ARG674 and Gendarmería Nacional aircraft GN-705 reported bright lights near San Carlos de Bariloche airport. ARG674 abandoned final approach when the runway lights failed at 20:47 local time and landed at 21:09 after power returned; GN-705 landed at 21:18. Transcriptions of the radio traffic and signed statements preserve a substantial witness chain, but the airport had no radar, no event photograph or physical trace is known, and the surviving tape has an approximately four-minute recording gap. The city-grid outage and the airport generator failure were documented as separate faults, not proven effects of an object. The Argentine Air Force's Air Regions Command performed a limited airspace review in 1995. A CEFAE report released in 2019 attributed the first light to GN-705 and the main display to a nightclub sky-tracer reflecting from thin cloud. That combined conventional explanation is the best documented one, but its late reconstruction and missing primary data justify the present B / DISPUTED rating.
