Overview
An investigative project focused on alleged UFO encounters near San Gallan Island, off Peru’s Paracas coast, has released an original interview recording after nearly three years of work. The footage forms part of a collection called “The Lost Interviews,” which examines reports from local fishermen and residents who say they have encountered unidentified objects in the waters surrounding the island.
According to the release, the investigation began in March 2016 with an effort to contact nine people who had reported unusual incidents at sea. The interviews were conducted by psychologist Eduardo B. C. and coordinated by L. O. Silan. The project claims that similar reports have been circulating in the San Gallan community for more than four decades, sometimes involving alleged injuries or deaths. However, the materials released do not independently verify those claims or establish that the reported objects were extraterrestrial in origin.
Fisherman Describes Encounter
The principal interview subject is identified as Luis Alberto J. H., a fisherman from Tacna. In the recording, he describes an encounter that allegedly occurred about two or three years before the interview, at approximately 2 a.m. while he was aboard a boat near San Gallan Island.
Luis Alberto said another fisherman, identified as Julio, first noticed a light behind the vessel. He reportedly described the phenomenon as resembling “fire within the water” before it emerged as a bright, rotating sphere emitting white and red lights. According to his account, the boat began to shake violently, while members of the crew experienced what he characterized as static electricity, causing their hair to stand on end. He also reported a loud buzzing sound and said the object’s illumination made the nighttime sky appear as bright as midday.
The interview portrays Luis Alberto as deeply distressed by the experience. He reportedly described social isolation, ridicule and harassment after discussing the incident publicly. He also attributed ongoing health problems—including severe pressure in his chest and persistent auditory difficulties—to the encounter. These symptoms and their causes were presented as part of his testimony; the release does not provide independent medical documentation.
Allegations of Official and Foreign Interest
Following the incident, Luis Alberto and other crew members reportedly notified police. He claimed they were later interviewed by a foreign official whom he believed was associated with a U.S. federal agency. He further alleged that non-Spanish-speaking individuals followed him, photographed his home and monitored his activities.
The release frames these claims within a broader allegation that Peruvian authorities have restricted information about unusual incidents around San Gallan Island. No government records or official statements confirming the alleged surveillance, interviews or information restrictions are included in the supplied material. As a result, the claims remain unverified.
Death and Request for Justice
Luis Alberto said he continued seeing similar phenomena—sometimes as many as 30 times a year, particularly during low tides—and expressed fear of returning to the sea. A final title card states that he was found dead at his home in December 2016, several months after the interview, with reported signs of asphyxiation.
The release says his widow requested publication of the recording to draw attention to the dangers allegedly faced by the island’s community and to seek justice. The circumstances of the death, however, are not documented in detail, and the supplied summary does not identify an official investigative conclusion or establish a connection between the death and the reported UFO encounters.
