Another strange entity was sighted flying alongside telephone poles and power lines in the city of Calama, Chile. An eyewitness came forward and reported the strange encounter to Calama UFO Center. The event took place on April the fifth, in the northeast sector of the city. The eyewitness, a miner from the nearby town of Chuquicamata, described a humanoid creature that apparently, was able to fly at great speeds without the use of wings.

"I remember the exact time of the event; it was 12:20 at night. I went outside to smoke a cigarette. My wife was inside attending a religious meeting with some friends and my three daughters. I lit the cigarette, and suddenly, a shadowy figure flying across the street caught my attention. At first, I thought it was an owl, but I turned to my right and I realized that it was something much larger. Furthermore, it turned out to be something that I have never seen before," he said.

"It was flying alongside the power lines and right below the lighting system. It never made a sound. Its speed must have been of about 50 kilometers an hour. Although I could not see its face, I was able to see that its head was oval like an upside-down pear. The creature looked humanoid. The head was relatively larger in proportion to the body if compared to a human. It was about 1.4 meters in length. It had long and very thin arms. It had a dark green colored hair. Apparently, it did not have feathers. Its entire body appeared to be wet. The hair texture was very similar to the hair of a dog after taking a bath", he added. "The reason why it might have been wet is because it was flying from the nearby Calama River, which is only 300 meters away."

"According to its size, I believe its weight must have been of about 45 to 50 kilograms, and yet, it was flying without the use of any propulsion machinery. I suppose it was levitating. Nevertheless, the most unusual moment of this already strange encounter was when I began feeling an extraordinary amount of fear. Although I do not get scared very easily, my entire skin bristled as I felt a bone-chilling cold all over my body. I was feeling a very unpleasant sensation. This was not a product of my imagination. It was a sensation so hard to describe that I will never be able to forget. I continued to watch the creature as far as I could. I was not able to go out on the street because I was inside an enclosed porch. The entity finally made a sharp ninety-degree turn as it reached one of the electric transformers, suddenly, all three lights went out on the street. The blackout lasted about 2 to 3 minutes," he added.

This eyewitness also stated that the reason why he came forward with his account is because he has been "in distress and fear" ever since the event took place. Although he was afraid of being ridiculed, he felt compelled to speak to us about this matter. Fortunately, we were able to corroborate his testimony; we had the opportunity to speak briefly with a taxi driver that assures that one its colleagues saw a similar creature that same night at around 11:30. The cab driver claims that he felt the same sensation of fear and chills. The similarities between both testimonies are astounding.
