(Editor’s Note: One of the most startling aspects of the 2002 cattle mutilation wave in Argentina was the disappearance of tremendous amounts of water from the large cisterns known as “tanques australianos” (literally, Australian tanks) in Argentina’s cattle ranching communities. Entire swimming pools were drained empty in Santa Rosa, Argentina, around this same time. As a curious aside to this situation, psychic Silvia Browne, a regular guest on TV’s Montel Williams Show and radio’s Coast to Coast with George Noory, mentioned a year ago that a similar swimming pool draining in the USA had been brought about “by UFOs”. Food for thought. — Scott Coralles)

In the early morning hours of October 31, 2005, 70,000 liters of water were found to be missing from a tank habitually employed to provide livestock with water.. Miguel Garrone, who leases the “La Caba’a” ranch, says that the tank was filled to the maximum on Saturday evening and was found completely empty in the early morning hours of Monday. No signs of breakage or filtration were found, nor signs of moisture in its perimeter that could provide an answer to such a strange phenomenon.

The livestock rancher indicated his astonishment, stressing that this is not the first time that such an event occurs in the area.

The ranch is located some 15 km south of Parera, La Pampa, on Provincial Route No. 9.

It is worth noting that on July 2, 2005, in a ranch belonging to Adolfo Ziegenfhus, some 4 km from QuetrequÈn and 12 km from Parera, another 70,000 liters of water vanished in a similar fashion — mysteriously and at night — without any trace ever being detected nor the existence of a leak or filtration that would justify the missing water ever being found.

Some time ago, mutilated animals were also found in this region, an event that coincided with the draining of water tanks.
