On the eve of May 9th, 2023, the usually calm and serene night sky over La Plata, Argentina, was interrupted by a baffling spectacle. Thousands of residents from this bustling city witnessed an extraordinary occurrence that has set tongues wagging and speculation flying.
Two bright, flame-like lights appeared in the night sky, stationary and seemingly unaffected by the overcast weather, providing a visual spectacle that was nothing short of surreal.
An Unforgettable Night
Shortly after 10 pm, the peace of the night was punctuated by a flurry of activity. As if drawn by an unseen force, people congregated in the open spaces of La Plata, their eyes fixated on the western area of the city. Walter Romero, a member of the FAO La Plata, was among the first to bring attention to this peculiar sight. Friends of his quickly shared photographs of the event, depicting the strange luminous phenomena in the vicinity of Olmos.
Reports flooded in from various parts of southern Greater Buenos Aires, each describing the same sight: Two large, fiery tongues of light, standing still against the night sky. In spite of the almost overcast conditions, the lights were clearly visible, adding an element of ethereal beauty to the unusual spectacle.
