Case description

On a foggy morning dated May 14, 1976, a truck driver near Balcarce, Argentina, reported an unusual object at a bridge. The craft was compared with an opening clamshell or oyster and cast a strong light over the crossing. The light reached the truck. According to the account, both the vehicle and its driver were drawn into the object, rather than the driver leaving his truck and approaching it on foot. No description of the driver's time aboard or his return is preserved in this version. The reported road encounter, the illumination at the bridge and the taking of the whole truck are its central events.

The programme places the event in Olavarría and identifies Balcarce as a street near Urruti’s home; the catalogue’s Balcarce label refers to this same bridge and whole-truck account. He reported an unseen voice and no visually identified occupant. The film gives 6:20 a.m.; Zerpa’s fuller account gives 7 a.m. Hospital examinations and questioning do not independently prove the reported transport or later telepathic claims.
