Parapsychologist and author Gustavo Fernandez reportedly said that in Mendoza, Argentina, on Winter 1978, a bizarre and very agile individual that wore a cape, carried a silvery cane and had phosphorescent eyes frightened several travelers near the city. A police patrol was astonished to see a tall lanky individual with a cape and a brilliant yellow light on his chest area execute a tremendous leap and fly over them disappearing into the night.
