The first written case of an UFO in Peru, February, 1600
Days before the biggest volcanic explosion in our History. The Huaynaputina volcano let Europe without summer that year, and now these ashes were found by scientists even in Greenland and Siberia.

Ventura Travada y C1rdoba (1695-1758), a priest, wrote in his book 1The soil of Arequipa turned into sky1: 1From the soft sulfur mater expelled by the volcano to the upper air region there were forming strange balloons of different sizes, flying lightly over the city, threatening to burn it and eat it, and then disappeared, turning into smoke, letting it with a fetid intolerable stench of sulfur1 suddenly it appeared in the air one of these balloons over the main square, biggest than the previous seen balloons.
