Biography

Argentine journalist, writer and producer (b. 1963), one of the most rigorous and critical voices on the phenomenon in Spanish. In the 1980s he directed the magazine UFO Press and was secretary general of the Center for Ufological Research; he later sat on the directive committee of CAIRP (Argentine Center for the Investigation and Refutation of Pseudoscience). His book 'Invasores: real stories of extraterrestrials in Argentina' (Sudamericana, 2009) reviews the country's major cases with an archival method. He calls himself an agnostic on UFOs: he documents, contextualizes and deflates myths, including an extensive dossier on the Trancas case.
