Shooter targets Humanoid Aliens from oval craft in Monte Maiz 1963

Man fires at humanoid robots emerging from oval-shaped craft in Monte Maiz, sparking mystery and fear in quiet town. Witnesses stunned by surreal encounter on October 12, 1963 Córdoba, Argentina

As the UFO report reads it was approx. 3:30 a.m. driving in a blinding rainstorm on the road between Monte Maíz and Isla Verde, Córdoba, Argentina, Eugenio Douglas feels heat and a prickly sensation all over his body. He sees a brilliant light in front of him. 

Temporarily blinded, he loses control of his truck and ends up in the ditch. Shaken but not injured, he gets out of the vehicle and looks up at the road, which he finds is blocked by an oval-shaped UFO at least 30 feet high. 

A door opens on the side and three huge “robots in human form” emerge. They wear helmets with short antennas and are 12–15 feet tall. Douglas takes a few shots at them with his revolver and runs away. 

The robots return to the UFO, which chases him down the road and eventually flies away. The next day, police find large footprints near the abandoned truck. Many publications list this as October 18.
