A video of the event was uploaded to YouTube with the following brief [translated] description:

this happened about 5 pm
the day November 8, 2013
pereira sky was filled entirely white dots
awesome

UFO website TheUFOTimes.com describes, “This armada of UFO orbs . . . caught the whole city by surprise. These orbs are not often seen, but when they are it seems that the UFOs are certainly not shy and not trying to hide.”

The video shows hundreds of bright orbs lazily drifting in the evening sky over Pereira. Next, the video cuts to a shot of pedestrians stopping to view the aerial objects. This back and forth between the orbs and the crowd of onlookers is repeated several times. But there is never a continuous shot of the crowd and the orbs. There is always an edited cut in between. This detail led some to suspect that the video could be a manufactured hoax.

But according to Colombian newspaper La Tarde, the fleet of UFOs did in fact appear over Pereira. The newspaper clarified, however, that these orbs were not extraterrestrial.

La Tarde reports that 400 students from the Andean Region University Foundation tied potatoes to balloons on November 8 as a symbolic act to protest against healthcare reform. La Tarde addressed the confusion caused by the video showing the alleged mass UFO sighting in Pereira by simply stating, “[I]t is clear that the objects seen in the sky were the ‘potato bombs.'”

  1. ufo’s tend to fly in formation (because thay are under intelligent control). these have no formation at all and are quite literally all over the place.THESE ARE BALLOONS!!!

  2. It’s interesting to me how illuminated these so called “balloons” are.

    Also, there are way to many orbs to be just a few balloons that students released earlier that day and, once balloons get that high in the atmosphere, it’s VERY difficult to see them.

  3. THOSE “ORBS” ARE REAL AND HAVE BEINGS INSIDE!!! THOSE ARE THE SAME ORBS ,THAT THE NAVY CALLED “TIC-TAC” UFO’S OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN!!! THEY COME HERE VIA “WORMHOLES”( OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN), AND THEY PRACTICE WARGAMES OR ARE IN BATTLE WITH OTHER EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCES, AFTER THEIR FINISHED, THEY RELAX AND FLOAT OVER LAND!!!
