Last night several witnesses reported to the program Última Hora that a "UFO" that fell at 4:00 am behind Las Ánimas Hill could have been the cause of the enormous and devastating fire that affected hundreds of hectares.

"It was like a huge fire ball that fell behind the hill", said a neighbor, whose report was confirmed by others.

A Ronicevi metallurgic worker, whose shift began at 4:00 am, said that the UFO gave off an intense glow and its size was similar to the moon in its full phase.

As of midnight last night, the authorities had neither confirmed the origin of the fires nor found the remains of the object that was seen by the neighbors.

Nevertheless, official sources stated that last Monday's fire was caused by the re-ignition of the previous day's fire, which was initially reported to be under control.
