In an eyebrow-raising story out of Argentina, a police report concerning a recent UFO incident involving mesmerized cattle has been deemed classified for national security reasons by government officials. According to a local media outlet, the bizarre event occurred on August 14th in the village of Candioti when police received word that multiple residents had observed a "white light with violet flashes" floating over the community. An officer dispatched to investigate the UFO sighting was soon alerted to a strange commotion unfolding among the animals at a ranch along the way. Arriving at the location, he likely could not believe his eyes at the wondrous scene before him.
To the astonishment of the officer and other witnesses, the ranch's cows were eerily walking in a circle beneath the mysterious ball of light hovering overhead. Meanwhile, the property's horses were thrashing around in a manner suggesting that they were deeply disturbed by what was unfolding around them. After a few minutes, the UFO suddenly vanished. Its disappearance seemingly broke the spell cast over the animals as the horses immediately calmed down, and the cows stopped their ritualistic circling. Silence fell over the field, with the witnesses understandably wondering what they had just seen.
As one might imagine, word of the weird incident quickly spread beyond the borders of Candioti and caught the attention of Argentine UFO researcher Andrea Pérez Simondini. Attempting to learn more about the odd August event, he filed an official information request for the police report from the officer that evening. The response surprised the seasoned UFO investigator as he was told that the file was classified "because it is within the exceptions provided for public and national security reasons." If officials hoped that their answer would quell interest in the case, the tactic likely backfired as it only made the incident all the more compelling.
