"The Sayago Case" became a classic of the 1980s. Given its spectacular characteristics, it took up considerable space in the national media while a group of young researchers from the now vanished SIOVNI group commenced field research and followed up on the protagonist to the amazing story.
On September 22, 1982 - two and a half years later - the witness died as a result of a kidney disease, which according to doctors, was "congenital in nature" due to his family background. But it should be noted that up until the day on which his life-changing experience occurred, Sayago ran between 5 and 15 kilometers a day as part of the regular training for one of his passions: race-walking, sponsoring several competitions.
The event occurred on the rainy evening of April 22, 1980 when Fermin Sayago drove his 1960 model Impala along Santiago Marzo Avenue to the east of the city and in a south-to-north direction. The time was 19:15. The experiencer said that "something dark and oval shaped fell over me from above" at the time he was about to cross the train tracks. He defined the object's size as comparable to "a 3 x 3 room". Sayago explained that "my car's engine died and I instinctively covered my face against the steering wheel, thinking the object was going to crash against me."Nothing of the sort occurred. The out-of-control vehicle stopped against the opposite curb and Fermin Sayago got out of the car, thinking about nothing else but starting the engine again. "I do remember that the headlights were on," he stressed. This allowed him to deduce that the car's electric system hadn't been affected. Sayago popped the hood and took a look at the engine, trying to ascertain the reason for the problem.
