Terrifying UFO Encounter: Chilean Couple Stalked by Alien Beings While Camping
In January 2019, a camping trip turned into an extraordinary encounter for a Chilean couple in the forests near Cajon de Maeva. Maria and Diego Martinez (pseudonyms) had set up their campsite by a river, enjoying the warm evening air after other campers had departed, leaving them isolated by nearly a mile from the nearest people. As they gazed at the stars around 11 PM while eating soup, they noticed an unusual bright light in the sky that suddenly descended across the river from them.
What followed was a night of terror as the couple observed multiple disc-shaped craft with transparent, hazy outlines and green lights. The situation escalated when entities approximately four feet tall with unusually long arms appeared around their tent. These beings, seemingly levitating rather than walking, exhibited intimidating behavior by surrounding the tent and creating small holes. For hours, Maria and Diego huddled together inside their tent, experiencing strange sensations, putrid odors, and hearing horrifying screams from the direction of other distant campsites.

Background of the Chilean Forest Encounter
The Couple: Maria and Diego Martinez
Maria and Diego Martinez (pseudonyms) decided to take advantage of Chile's warm January 2019 weather by planning a camping trip. The young couple chose a location in the woods outside Cajon de Maipo on January 12th. They were well-prepared for their adventure, bringing essential camping supplies including canned soup for meals and a helmet with an attached flashlight for visibility at night.
The couple had no expectations beyond enjoying nature and spending time together. Both were ordinary people seeking a simple weekend getaway. Their camping experience was moderate, making them comfortable with the isolated setting they selected.
Setting up the Campsite
The Martinez couple arrived at their destination early in the morning and immediately began establishing their campsite. They selected an ideal location situated directly on a riverbank, providing both scenic views and convenient access to water. The setup process went smoothly as they pitched their tent and arranged their camping gear.
By evening, they had created a comfortable outdoor living space. They lit a campfire where they could sit and chat while enjoying the natural surroundings. Their campsite was basic but functional, including:
A tent for sleeping
A small campfire area
Food supplies including canned soup
Water bottles for hydration
Playing cards for entertainment
Isolation in Cajon de Maipo
As evening approached, Maria and Diego realized they were completely alone in their section of the forest. The other families who had been camping nearby had departed, leaving the area deserted. Through careful observation, they determined the nearest camper was approximately one mile away.
This isolation initially didn't concern them. In fact, they appreciated the privacy as they sat around their smoldering campfire, enjoying conversations under the starry Chilean sky. By 11 PM, the forest had grown remarkably quiet, creating perfect conditions for stargazing while they ate their dinner.
What began as peaceful seclusion would soon transform their camping experience. The remote location meant they were cut off from immediate assistance, with no witnesses nearby for the extraordinary events that would unfold throughout the night.
Initial Contact with the Unknown Craft
Viewing the Unusual Star
Maria and Diego Martinez (pseudonyms) were enjoying a quiet evening at their campsite along a riverbank in the Chilean forest near Cajon de Maeva. By 11 PM, they found themselves completely alone, with the nearest campers nearly a mile away. As they ate soup around their smoldering campfire, they gazed at the stars visible in the clear night sky.
While observing the heavens, both noticed a particularly bright star on the horizon that seemed to stand out against the dark backdrop. The star appeared unusual in its intensity and positioning, capturing their full attention as they continued their meal.
The Sudden Appearance of the Disc-Shaped Object
Without warning, the "star" they had been observing descended rapidly across the sky. In less than a second, what had appeared to be a distant celestial body materialized directly in front of them, hovering approximately 20-25 meters away on the opposite side of the river.
The object revealed itself to be a transparent craft with a hazy outline, approximately 15 meters in length and disc-shaped. Green lights flashed in sequence around its perimeter. The couple froze in shock as Maria's helmet-mounted flashlight illuminated the object for about 30 seconds.
Fearing she might have drawn unwanted attention, Maria quickly turned off her light. The craft then began to approach them very slowly, following the river's contours before briefly retreating and continuing its path. Soon after, the couple noticed another strange object climbing over a nearby mountain, followed by three more objects with lights approximately three kilometers away, flying in circular patterns.
Encounter with the Transparent Vessel
The transparent craft exhibited unusual properties that defied conventional explanation. When illuminated by Maria's headlamp, they could see its structure was not solid but rather featured a hazy, translucent appearance while maintaining its disc shape.
As the couple observed, the original craft and its companions eventually drifted away, providing temporary relief. Believing the encounter had ended, Maria and Diego retreated to their tent where they played cards and even joked about their strange experience.
Their sense of security was short-lived. Later that night, four objects appeared hovering directly over their tent—one resembling the original craft and three smaller vessels approximately 4.5 feet long. One of the smaller craft positioned itself just one meter from the tent and shone a brilliant white light toward them while the others flew around the area.
The encounter intensified as the couple detected a loud vibrating sound and felt as if they were in a vacuum, with normal ambient sounds suddenly ceasing. The transparent nature of these crafts made them particularly unsettling, as they seemed to exist partially between dimensions—visible yet somehow not entirely present in their reality.
Rising Tension and Strange Encounters
Unusual Activity of Unexplained Objects
Maria and Diego Martinez (pseudonyms) were enjoying a peaceful camping trip near Cajon de Maeva, Chile in January 2019. Their isolated campsite along the riverbank became the setting for extraordinary events that began as they ate dinner around 11 PM. While gazing at the stars, they spotted an unusual bright light on the horizon that suddenly descended across the river, approximately 20-25 meters from their position.
The object appeared disc-shaped, about 15 meters long with a transparent, hazy outline and sequential green flashing lights. Maria's helmet-mounted flashlight illuminated the object for about 30 seconds before she switched it off out of caution. The disc began slowly approaching them along the river's contours.
Additional objects soon appeared in the vicinity. One climbed over a nearby mountain, while three more with lights were observed about three kilometers away, flying in circular patterns. The couple watched as the objects eventually drifted away, allowing them a brief moment of relief before retreating to their tent.
First Confrontation in the Night
The couple's sense of security evaporated when a plastic water bottle struck their tent without warning. Upon investigating, they saw no one nearby but discovered four objects hovering directly above them. One matched what they had seen earlier, while three smaller craft, approximately 4.5 feet long, surrounded the area.
One small craft positioned itself just one meter from the tent, shining a brilliant white light at them. A loud vibration created what felt like a vacuum, eliminating all normal sounds. Then came the most terrifying revelation: five small entities stood beside the tent, appearing without making any sound.
Physical characteristics of the entities:
Approximately 4 feet tall
Very thin body structure
Unusually long arms
Dark skin (exact color indiscernible in poor lighting)
Appeared to levitate rather than walk
The beings behaved in an intimidating manner by:
Grabbing at the tent
Surrounding the campsite
Digging small holes around the tent
Moving without touching the ground
Maria and Diego huddled together in terror as one entity flung itself against the tent. They experienced strange sensations of floating and feared stepping outside would transport them elsewhere. At approximately 3 AM, a putrid odor like concentrated rotten eggs permeated the area, followed by the arrival of additional objects near the river.
Horrifying screams from men, women, and children echoed from the direction of other campsites for nearly two hours. When a final agonized scream sounded directly behind their tent, Maria and Diego believed they would be next. The objects returned to hover above them while the entities resumed their harassment by pulling the tarp and striking the tent.
Both campers noted alternating sweet, floral scents that induced drowsiness. Green laser-like points of light appeared inside the tent, which they described as eyes watching them. They felt these lights were attempting to hypnotize them and lure them outside. The couple prevented each other from exiting and noticed that remaining calm seemed to reduce the harassment, giving them the impression the entities were somehow feeding off their fear and emotional responses.
Unexpected Nocturnal Visitors
Appearance of Small Figures
Maria and Diego's peaceful camping night took a dramatic turn when they encountered five small entities standing beside their tent. These beings appeared without warning - the couple hadn't heard any approaching footsteps or movements. The visitors were approximately four feet tall with unusually thin bodies and notably longer arms than humans. Their skin appeared dark, though the poor lighting conditions made it difficult to determine the exact color.
These strange beings didn't make direct contact with the couple but exhibited bizarre behavior around the campsite. They moved in unusual ways, seemingly suspended above the ground rather than walking on it. No footsteps could be heard as they moved about, only a peculiar vibration that gave the impression they existed on some different spatial plane.
Disturbance of the Campsite
The small entities began interacting with the campsite in increasingly concerning ways. They pulled at the tent fabric, dug small holes in the ground surrounding it, and exhibited what the couple perceived as intimidating behavior. In one particularly frightening moment, a water bottle was thrown forcefully against the tent with no visible source.
One of the beings suddenly flung itself against the side of the tent, creating both physical and psychological distress for the terrified couple inside. As this harassment continued, the couple noticed different odors permeating their space - sometimes a putrid smell like intensified rotten eggs that forced them to cover their noses with their hoodies, and at other times, unexplainably sweet floral scents.
The entities seemed particularly focused on the tent itself, grabbing at the material and creating disturbances all around the perimeter. The couple remained frozen inside, embracing each other in silence, hoping the strange visitors would eventually depart.
Sensation of Floating and Reality Distortion
While hiding in their tent, Maria and Diego experienced the unsettling sensation of levitation, as if they themselves were floating. This feeling was accompanied by the disturbing impression that stepping outside their tent might transport them to an entirely different location. The boundaries of normal reality seemed to have dissolved around them.
The couple began seeing green laser-like points of light inside their tent, which they described as resembling eyes watching them. These lights appeared to have a hypnotic effect, creating an urge to exit the tent. They repeatedly had to stop each other from giving in to this strange compulsion.
Both experienced sudden drowsiness and heaviness in their bodies, fighting against an overwhelming desire to sleep. They noticed a pattern: when they managed to remain calm, the harassment from the entities seemed to decrease. This led them to believe the beings might be somehow feeding off their fear and emotional responses.
As the night progressed, the couple reported feeling as though they were in a vacuum-like state where normal environmental sounds had ceased, replaced by an unusual vibrating noise. These sensory distortions further contributed to their sense of being temporarily removed from ordinary reality.
The Night of Terror and Otherworldly Encounters
Overwhelming Smells and Increased Activity
Around 3 AM, Maria and Diego detected an unbearable stench similar to rotten eggs but far more intense, forcing them to cover their noses with their hoodies. The odor was so potent that it became nearly impossible to breathe normally. Shortly after this noxious smell appeared, they observed numerous additional unidentified objects arriving rapidly one after another toward the river area.
During their ordeal, the couple also experienced pleasant scents like flowers, which seemed to induce drowsiness. Their bodies became heavy, and they struggled to remain awake. Green laser-like points of light, which they described as resembling watching eyes, appeared inside the tent. These lights seemed to have a hypnotic effect, creating an urge to exit the tent despite the danger outside.
Distressing Cries and Heightened Threat Level
The situation escalated dramatically when Maria and Diego began hearing horrifying screams coming from the riverside. The agonized sounds of men, women, and children filled the night air for nearly two hours. These distressing cries suggested other campers were experiencing something terrible.
Diego recognized the severity of their situation, believing they might not survive until morning. The threat became more immediate when they heard someone directly behind their tent emit a blood-curdling scream of pure terror—the final scream they would hear that night. Shortly afterward, the mysterious objects returned to hover directly above their campsite, suggesting Maria and Diego would be the next targets.
Mental and Emotional Impact
The psychological toll on the couple was immense. Maria was crying while Diego resorted to prayer, hoping for strength to face whatever might happen next. They held each other, attempting to provide comfort as they listened to the disturbing cries for help coming from nearby.
The entities continued their harassment by pulling on the tent tarp and striking the tent. Maria and Diego noticed that when they managed to remain calm, the entities seemed less aggressive. This observation led them to believe these beings might be feeding off their fear and emotional responses.
Both described experiencing sensations of floating and spatial disorientation, feeling as if stepping outside might transport them to an entirely different location. The couple had to prevent each other from leaving the tent when the hypnotic effects became strong. The entire experience left them emotionally devastated and struggling to make sense of what they had encountered.
Tactics and Persistence
Facing Terror and Intimidation
Maria and Diego found themselves in an increasingly frightening situation as strange entities surrounded their campsite. The beings engaged in intimidating behaviors, grabbing at the tent's exterior and digging small holes around it. Most disturbing was the observation that these four-foot tall, thin creatures with unusually long arms didn't appear to touch the ground as they moved. Instead, they seemed to levitate, creating vibrations that the couple could feel but without producing any audible footsteps. One entity even flung itself against the tent wall, increasing their terror. The couple remained inside, embracing each other in silence, hoping the strange visitors would eventually leave.
Maintaining Composure
The couple discovered that their emotional state appeared to influence the entities' behavior. They observed:
When they remained calm, the harassment lessened
The beings seemed to "feed" on their fear and emotional reactions
Strange scents alternated between putrid odors (like rotten eggs) and sweet floral fragrances
Green laser-like points of light appeared inside the tent, which felt hypnotic
As the night progressed, both Maria and Diego experienced growing drowsiness and heaviness in their bodies. They fought against this sensation, understanding it was crucial to stay alert. They covered their eyes at times and focused on maintaining composure, reinforcing each other's resolve during this ordeal.
Resisting External Influence
The couple faced what appeared to be attempts at mind control or abduction. The laser-like points of light inside their tent seemed to be watching them, creating a hypnotic effect that tried to lure them outside. Both Maria and Diego felt compelled to exit the tent at various points during the night, but they prevented each other from doing so, recognizing the danger. They experienced unusual sensations, including:
Feeling as if they were floating inside the tent
A perception that stepping outside would transport them elsewhere
A "vacuum-like" environment where normal sounds disappeared
Intense drowsiness they had to actively fight against
Their mutual support proved crucial, as they continually stopped each other from succumbing to the compelling urge to leave the safety of their tent throughout this frightening encounter.
Aftermath and Reflection
The Night's Conclusion
As dawn approached, Maria and Diego remained huddled together in their tent, physically and emotionally exhausted from the ordeal. The strange entities gradually reduced their harassment, and the hovering objects began to retreat. By sunrise, the phenomena had completely disappeared, leaving the couple in a state of profound shock.
They quickly packed their belongings and left the campsite, deeply disturbed by what they had experienced. The sounds of screaming they had heard throughout the night haunted them. Despite their fear, they checked the riverside area where they believed other campers had been attacked but found no evidence of disturbance or anyone in distress.
Personal Insights and Assessment
Maria and Diego later shared their observations about patterns in the encounter. They noticed the entities seemed most active when they displayed fear, suggesting these beings might have been attracted to or even nourished by strong emotional responses. The couple believed their decision to remain calm during certain periods might have protected them from whatever fate befell the unseen campers whose screams they heard.
Both described experiencing unusual sensory phenomena throughout the ordeal:
Sensory Experience Description Visual Green laser-like points resembling eyes inside the tent; transparent disc-shaped craft with sequential green lights Auditory Vibrating sounds; absence of normal forest sounds; horrific screaming Olfactory Putrid odor similar to rotten eggs; occasional sweet floral scents Physical Sensation of floating; unexplained drowsiness; feeling of being in a vacuum
The couple believed the sweet floral scents were possibly meant to lure them into sleep or compliance. They credited their survival to their mutual support, remaining inside the tent, and resisting the apparent hypnotic effects of the green "eyes" that seemed to beckon them outside.
