Wednesday 1st, May 2024
Authorities in Buenos Aires have conducted a raid on the Museo del Ovni, a well known destination for UFO enthusiasts in Argentina, resulting in the confiscation of approximately 60 archaeological items believed to be linked with extraterrestrial life.
The museum, established by the prominent UFO researcher Silvia Pérez Simondini and operational for nearly two decades, is situated in the Victoria area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It has garnered attention for its extensive collection of UFO related exhibits, which includes archival materials, clippings of notable sightings, and objects purported to be of extraterrestrial origin.
Among the seized artifacts was a mummified foot, previously presented by the museum as evidence of extraterrestrial life. This particular item sparked concerns from the Peruvian Embassy, leading to allegations that the museum had violated a bilateral agreement between Argentina and Peru regarding the handling of archaeological finds.
According to Ms. Simondini, the controversial foot was discovered in Peru by her sister and had been offered to various institutions without garnering interest. She also claimed that many of the other contested items were discovered within Argentina itself.
The actions undertaken by the authorities have raised numerous questions regarding the future of the confiscated items, the legal repercussions for Ms. Simondini, and the broader implications for the community of ufology enthusiasts.
This incident not only challenges the operational integrity of the Museo del Ovni but also stirs a significant debate on the legitimacy and ethical management of artifacts believed by some to unveil mysteries of the universe.
We're still waiting on further details from authorities regarding this raid and confiscation.
