Uruguay: An “Imp” Over Nueva Palmira
Opinions vary – over an electric power line. After repeated complaints, police officers and
agents of the local Prefecture visited the site. [Witnesses] claim it measured 25
centimeters. It arrived flying and and would move around, bothered by flashlight beams
A colorful imp appeared in Nueva Palmira this weekend, suspended over a high voltage
line leading to the port. The phenomenon was reported by several locals, who saw the
phenomenon moving some four feet over the surface of the wire. Police and Prefecture
personnel visited the area. The [figure] shrank until it vanished around four in the
morning.
The phenomenon has caused a sensation in Nueva Palmira, after word spread that an
alleged “imp” or extraterrestrial being had arrived, flying, to the corner of Calle Ultramar in
the general direction of the port zone.
This is how journalist Roberto Tatto told the story on Tuesday on Nueva Palmira’s Cono
Sur radio station, and how it was repeated to LA REPUBLICA, according to eyewitness
accounts. “The event occurred last Saturday night at the traffic distributor that leads to
the port,” he explained. “A shop owner came outside and saw a light. He was startled to
see it at a given altitude. It remained suspended from one of the wires. He summoned his
wife and some of his shop’s patrons to come out for a look. They approached and saw
from below that the figure changed colors. It had the shape of a doll. They pointed a
flashlight at it, and it started to move around, as if bothered by the light. It was a 25
centimeter long “doll” moving over the cable. Later on, the Police arrived with high
powered beams and it began moving more, as if becoming nervous. It moved its head
and shuddered.”
According to this story, the phenomenon was witnessed by several locals, who according
to the fellow journalist “ were afraid to come any closer, because (the being) seemed be
annoyed by the beams” as it stood over the high-voltage wires.
Hours went by and efforts were made to photograph with a cellphone, “but we later saw
that it didn’t come out right,” they explained. The phenomenon lasted until around 4:00 a.
m., when the figure contracted slowly until it vanished. A pearl-colored “goo” was left
behind as the only tangible evidence, the local journalist told La Republica. He claims that
the eyewitness accounts hint at something with characteristics that were “less than
mundane.”
Discussion over whether it was an “imp” or an extraterrestrial manifestation continues to
dominate the daily agenda among the residents of Nueva Palmira.
