Chile's Cerro Moreno Triangle: Unexplained Aerial Phenomena, Pilot Disappearances, and UFO Hotspot

The 'Cerro Moreno Triangle' in Chile, specifically near Antofagasta, has gained notoriety as a hotspot for unexplained aerial phenomena and reported pilot disappearances. Author Hugo Riquelme's novel, "The Cerro Moreno Triangle," explores these real events, centering on the experiences of pilot Carlos González and referencing the 1980 disappearance of pilot César Guevara. According to Radio Universo, the book is based on real events, a fact that is advertised on the cover. Riquelme, who grew up near Cerro Moreno Air Base, weaves in stories of strange aerial occurrences, suggesting that some UFOs may involve advanced human technologies. The area's reputation as a 'triangle' emerged from press coverage of frequent UFO sightings and incidents near the air base. Chile's northern region, characterized by low light pollution, provides optimal conditions for observing celestial phenomena. Chile's military is known for its openness in investigating and discussing UFO matters. Some reports even connect the area to the Inca Road, linking it to other UFO hotspots like Nazca in Peru, suggesting a pattern of extraterrestrial interest in specific geographical locations. It is important to note that while many believe these sightings to be of extraterrestrial origin, other explanations, such as experimental aircraft or natural phenomena, have also been proposed.
