Rocket Found in Desolate Area in Argentina

Summary

In September 1989, an experimental rocket measuring 3 meters in length was discovered in a salt flat in Córdoba Province, Argentina. The object, weighing 400 kg and not carrying explosives, was buried 2.5 meters deep in the ground, just 5 km from a road. Local residents found it and alerted authorities, who set up a perimeter around the site.

According to reports, since late the previous year, strange occurrences had been observed in the area, including sightings of UFOs, helicopters, and ground vehicles. It was strongly believed that the rocket belonged to the Argentine Air Force, and it was expected to be recovered by specialized personnel for analysis at a military base.
