Real Estate Sales Neighborhood by neighborhood: What is the price of a garage for sale in Buenos Aires in July 2025? - La Nación Propiedades

Interesting question—and a fair one.

My personal take? If there is something out there (call it UFOs, UAPs, or whatever term is fashionable this year), it likely operates in stealth mode unless it wants to be seen. The assumption that “more cameras = more proof” only works if whatever is being observed behaves like us. That may be a faulty assumption.

There are exceptions.

Take Roswell, shortly after WWII. My father flew with the same Army Air Corps bomb group that later ended up stationed at Roswell. That period wasn’t random—this was ground zero for atomic weapons development. If you were an outside observer, that’s exactly where your attention would go.

During the war, B-29 crews (including my father on bombing runs over Tokyo) reported what they called “Foo Fighters”—luminous orbs pacing aircraft, maneuvering in ways no known technology could match at the time. These weren’t one-off sightings—they were reported by multiple crews, across missions, and documented.

Fast forward: you have the well-known Roswell recovery, which—depending on how deep you dig—is far more complex than the old “weather balloon” explanation.

Then there are large-scale sightings, like the incident in Brazil (Varginha), where hundreds of witnesses reported events, followed by rapid response from military and reportedly U.S. personnel. That one didn’t happen in a vacuum.

And more recently, you’ve got U.S. Navy pilots on record—under oath before Congress—describing encounters with craft that outperformed anything in our inventory. These aren’t random internet posts; these are trained observers with radar, FLIR, and multiple sensor confirmations.

So is there “proof”? That depends on what standard you’re using.

If you’re waiting for a press conference with a landed craft on display—no, we’re not there.

But if you’re willing to look at consistent patterns, credible witnesses, declassified reports, and decades of similar observations… the evidence is there.

You just have to be willing to dig a little deeper than the headlines.

Or put another way: the proof isn’t missing—it’s just not being handed to you on a silver platter.
Do you think that the military aircrafts and technology were based on something the US government found from aliens? Or their technology?

That’s a great question—and one people have been asking for a long time.

I’ll answer it with an observation from my own life.

When we lived in Tokyo in the late 1950s and early ’60s, we stayed in a traditional Japanese house that occasionally needed maintenance. The furnace needed fuel (yes, Tokyo gets cold), the fish pond needed cleaning—normal things.

What struck me was how the work got done.

The crews would arrive in teams, and each person had a very specific role. One guy handled the tools, another opened and closed doors, one or two did the actual repair work—and one man carried a sketchbook. His job was to carefully draw every American-made appliance in sight.

Those sketches didn’t just disappear into a drawer—they became products made in Japan and eventually sold back to the West.

So do I think Japan’s post-war industrial boom was helped by exposure to foreign technology? Absolutely.

Now, bring that idea forward.

If any government had access to technology even slightly ahead of its time—whether foreign, captured, or something more exotic—would they study it, reverse-engineer it, and incorporate what they could?

History suggests the answer is yes.

How far that goes is the real question.

Because one thing we know for certain—nobody ignores a technological advantage once they’ve seen it.

Yes I believe they found some technology and reversed engineered it. Look at all the military aircraft. Those stealth bombers when they came out was ahead of its time. Once they have the edge there is no turning back. The advance in technology now keeps speeding up. Look at Space X.

Following up on my earlier comments about Roswell—interesting to see a NASA scientist now publicly supporting evidence of non-human intelligence in Earth’s skies. Worth a read, if only to see how the conversation is shifting. Some peer-reviewed research also points to an increase in “transient” UFO observations following the advent and use of the atomic bomb, which adds another layer to the discussion.

If you have some inside track with the aliens. Ask them if they can stop what is going on in the Middle East. 🤣 My 401k is in the toilet! I need some help from above.

If I had a direct line to the aliens, I can assure you your 401k wouldn’t be the first item on their agenda… although I suspect they’d admire how humans managed to invent a system where your retirement can disappear faster than a UFO on radar.

That said, I’ll put in a request:

“Dear extraterrestrial friends—before you solve interstellar travel, could you first stabilize the Middle East… and maybe give my friend here a modest bull run?”

If they respond, I’ll let you know.
If they don’t… we may have to accept that even advanced civilizations avoid our markets. Waiting for either first contact… or a green portfolio

🤣 Love it. I'm always fascinated with this entire topic of UFO's, aliens, special abilities, seeing the future and all of these things. I hope before I die, we make connection or find proof of life in other galaxies. Fascinating topic. Amazing to see about this topic about a garage for sale in Buenos Aires! Gotta love it!

Glad you picked up on that… we like to think of it as subtle cross-marketing.

Today: a garage in Buenos Aires.
Tomorrow: secure parking for interstellar arrivals.
Because let’s be honest—if aliens are advanced enough to cross galaxies, they’re smart enough to avoid street parking in BA.
After years of figuring out parking in Buenos Aires, UFO storage just felt like the logical next step… curious though—if aliens did show up, would they blend right in here or leave immediately?
I did once see what looked like a reptilian surfacing out of the old Horizontal Notell downtown… which raises a fair question—if aliens were here, would Buenos Aires even notice? I’m starting to think expats aren’t the only ones relocating to BA.
