UFO CASE ARTICLE Carlos Alberto Diaz Was a Hoaxer Source: Banchs and Heiden, APRO Bulletin, Vol. 26 No. 2, Aug. 1977 Summary: Investigation by one of the authors (Roberto Enrique Banchs) for the Centro de Estudios de Fenomenos Aereos Inusuales (CEFAI) of Buenos Aires has shown that the Argentine abduction case [of Carlos Alberto Diaz] was a hoax, as the events could not have occurred as the witness claimed. By Roberto Enrique Banchs and Richard W. Heiden Investigation by one of the authors (Roberto Enrique Banchs) for the Centro de Estudios de Fenomenos Aereos Inusuales (CEFAI) of Buenos Aires has shown that the Argentine abduction case reported in the APRO Bulletin of March 1975 was a hoax, as the events could not have occurred as the witness claimed. To briefly summarize the incident, Carlos Alberto Diaz said that after getting off work in Bahia Blanca at 3:05 a.m. on Sunday, January 5, 1975, he walked seven blocks to the bus stop at Plaza Rivadavia, where he took the bus to his home city of Ingeniero White, arriving at 3:30. Diaz was 100 meters (330 feet) from home, walking on a deserted street, when, just before 3:50, he saw a bright light, and then became paralyzed before being pulled up off the ground and then fainting. Diaz came to in an empty ovoid. After 15 minutes three humanoids appeared, who proceeded to hold down the witness, and pull out some of his hair. Diaz again fainted, and woke up at about 3:00 p.m. near Buenos Aires (400 miles away), lying off the side of a highway. He hitchhiked to the Railway Hospital, where he arrived at 4:15. The doctors were impressed by his story when Diaz showed them the morning Bahia Blanca newspaper, which indicated that he had been there not too many hours before, and they gave him a thorough examination. (Some of these details vary from those in the Bulletin; several versions of the story have been published.) Investigation revealed the following: 1. The abduction site, on Daniel de Solier Street, is always busy, even at that time, yet Diaz said he saw no one around. Also, house-to-house inquiries found that no one in the neighborhood had noticed anything unusual, nor had any watch dogs acted up. 2. The bus leaves Bahia Blanca at 3:30, and takes 25 minutes to get to Ingeniero White, whereas Diaz said he arrived at Ingeniero White at 3:30, only 25 minutes after leaving work. 3. Finding the above discrepancies, it was realized that Diaz probably went directly to Buenos Aires; he could have taken the train. The train originating in Zapala passes through Bahia Blanca at 6:15 a.m. (the newspaper having come out at 2:45 a.m.), though it is often behind schedule. During the investigation, Train 142 making this run passed through Bahia Blanca at 7:07, arriving at Buenos Aires at 4:10 p.m. 4. The records of the hospital guard show that Diaz arrived there at 5:30 p.m., not 4:15. 5. Psychological assessments of Diaz found these characteristics, among others: rich imagination, quick intelligence (but without depth), inclination to exaggerate, good memory, occasional use of poor judgment, and maladjusted personality. We think that under these circumstances we have enough sound arguments of the inauthenticity of the episode, and are able to consider the case a hoax, made up by the witness himself.

Actually it does, from even a second PC. Apparently your PC doesn't allow you to see the truth.
However, until you replace it with one that shows the truth, i'll link you the contents of that article:

It shows that he has been hoaxing for over 20 years :-)
Hey Toni,
Yes I really feel that they purposefully wanted Carlos to film them, and may have even had knowledge of his camera equipment...remember this is the 90s and cameras were expensive...and not everyone had them.....

Wow, this just really shows how desperate some people are to believe.

Fascinating case and one I had not heard of before. Thanks for sharing these vids!!
The other time index we need to compare 2:05 with is 2:55-2:58 and similar later shots, where we can see how the real tree moves, where the branches move independently of each other.

Alright bud? Have you seen this one at 2:05? >>
He's never been solidly debunked and, no, there's no *proof* that he was a hoaxer either. Still, when we look at the tree footage (his best evidence), it clearly looks like two stills (one in front of the other) being filmed whilst the one behind is being moved.
Are you saying that investigations have been done to show that trees defy the laws of physics in the presence of a UFO? I'd like to see those investigations.

There have been investigations done to indicate the opposite. ...with advanced time space tech on this craft not only trees can move in unison but other solid objects appear to behave unnaturally as well when in proximity to such a craft .

Is there a source other than this apparent hoax for that claim? It seems like special pleading to claim that something that looks like a still photo is actually video of a real tree violating the laws of physics.

what im saying is that not only trees defy laws of physics
If you take a still photo of the tree, and jiggle it, you see one thing. If you take a video the the branches bending, each branch sways individually. They may all move at the same time, but they bend. You can see this difference between time index 2:05 and 2:55 in the referenced video. There is no bending in the movement of the apparent hoax at 2:05, it looks just like a still photo that's been jiggled. It's completely unnatural and is easily explained as a still photo manipulation. Someone has to want to believe this pretty badly to think a tree violating the laws of physics is more likely than a still photo manipulation.
When a really strong wind hits the tree next to my house. ..all the branches move in unison! (Gasp)
