There is also a peculiar cloud phenomenon connected with some of these teleportations, or transferences. According to the newspaper Diario de C6rdoba, a well-known Argentine businessman suffered a strange distortion of time and space in 1959. He reportedly got into his brand-new car one morning in the city of Bahia Blanca, Argentina, and started to drive away from his hotel, when a strange cloud seemed to envelope his vehicle. The next thing he knew he was standing alone on a deserted spot in the countryside. He hailed a passing truck and asked the driver to take him to Bahia Blanca. Looking at him as if he were some kind of maniac, the driver explained that they were in Salta. Bahia Blanca was over a thousand kilometres away I He drove the befuddled businessman to the nearest police station, and they called the police in Bahia Blanca. The police later called back and confirmed that the businessman's car was still outside the hotel with its engine running. Strangest of all, only a few minutes had elapsed from the time the man had first climbed into the car - yet he had somehow been transported over a thousand 4 kilometres. Bahia Blanca is a busy Window area and has been the site of many strange psychic and UFO reports in recent years. In May 1968, Dr Gerardo Vidal and his wife said they were driving outside the city when their auto was caught up in dense fog, and they lost consciousness. They came to on a strange road. Their watches had stopped, and the surface of their car was badly scorched. They soon learned that forty-eight hours had passed, and they were now in Mexico, many thousands of miles north of Bahia Blanca! On March 4th, 196S, a leading Japanese newspaper, Mainkhi, carried an unbelievable story about an automobile disappearing in MI view of a crowded highway. The reporting witnesses were three officials of the Fuji Bank on their way to the golf course at Ryuga-zaki. As they drove outside of Kanamachi, they said they saw a black car ahead of them going in the same direction. Aside from the driver, they could see an elderly man in the back seat reading a newspaper. ‘Suddenly a pug of something gaseous, like white smoke or vapour, gushed from somewhere around the black car, and when this cloud dispersed (a matter of not more than five seconds), the black car had vanished,' the newspaper account said. The trio of witnesses were so shaken by the incident that they stopped and reported it to the police, and so another inexplicable oddity was added to our bulging files. Could that car in Japan have been taken by the same unknown force that transported the Argentine businessman a thousand kilometres? Could the same force have been at work when British Wing Commander J. Baldwin flew into a cloud and never came out again during the Korean War? Other pilots in his formation scoured the area but could find no trace of their commander or his plane. Was it the same kind of cloud that literally devoured a whole regiment of British soldiers near Sulva Bay, Turkey, in 1915? An entrenched group of men later signed affidavits swearing they had watched the One-Fourth Norfolk Regiment march into a peculiar brown cloud that hugged the ground in their path and that none of them reappeared on the other side. After a few moments the cloud Pa c ” 1 1 wooo rose up and flew away, the witnesses reported, joining a group of similar clouds which then sailed off against the wind. No one from that regiment was ever seen again. Eight hundred men gone - or taken - from the face of the earth!
