A.P.R.O. Bulletin — March 1963

This document is the March 1963 issue of The A.P.R.O. Bulletin, published by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. It provides a comprehensive overview of a significant wave of UFO sightings in Argentina during 1962. The bulletin features an article by Gordon W. Creighton titled 'Argentina 1962: A massive UFO visitation,' which details numerous reports of cigar-shaped and saucer-shaped craft across various provinces, including Cordoba, La Pampa, and Mendoza. The reports describe sightings by civilians, truck drivers, and police, as well as instances of landings and alleged encounters with robot-like figures. The bulletin also highlights a specific incident in Cordoba involving three students from the National Observatory who photographed a circular, disc-shaped object with a serrated edge. While the newspaper 'Cordoba' initially reported the photos as potentially authentic, other experts, including the photographer of the National Observatory, dismissed them as a 'youthful hoax.' Subsequent analysis by the U.S. Air Force's Foreign Technology Division (FTD) concluded that the photographs were of insufficient quality for concrete analysis due to the poor condition of the negative and the unidentifiable nature of the background. The document also includes 'Station Notes' and various reports of sightings in other regions, such as Seattle, Washington, and Southern England, suggesting a broader pattern of activity. The bulletin serves as a compilation of contemporary press reports, correspondence, and internal assessments regarding these events, reflecting the intense public and official interest in UAP during this period.
