The city of Villa Carlos Paz is a tourist destination in central Argentina, known for a number of outdoor activities, such as kite surfing and hiking, as well as a giant cuckoo clock in the center of town. (Apparently the bird is controversial) In UFO circles, however, the town is known for one event in particular, the case of the Night Visitor. Also known as the Pretzel CEIII case, on June 14, 1968, María Elodia Pretzel was in the process of locking up the family motel, Motel La Cuesta (Known now as Hotel La Cuesta), when she would have a frightening encounter with a flattopped being carrying a strange disco ball and wearing a tight fitting suit. Strangely, María's encounter was not the only one that featured mysterious human-like figures...
Zee from Ghosts-n-Heauxs joins the pod to discuss the Night Visitor case and others of the 1968 South American flap.
