Our plan is to go to the Colbun dam, surrounded by the green foothills of the Andes, and spend the night monitoring the skies for UFOs. The six of us set up camp near the water's edge. The crew of ufologists with whom I sought out a close encounter, Colbun Dam. As dusk falls, three satellites cross the early evening sky. They appear as very small white dots, fainter than the stars, moving in straight, steady trajectories.
More stars come out but still no flying saucers.
It's usually monotonous. Clouds move in and out as we eat baloney sandwiches and drink instant coffee. A few hours later, the clouds completely disperse, revealing a brilliant, star-filled sight. Jupiter, a particularly bright point of light, is visible. But there are no close encounters.
