Tabio–Pitalito abduction and the Peña de Juaica

El Tiempo reported on 5 April 1991 a farmer's claim that a craft took him from near the Peña de Juaica, between Tenjo and Tabio, and left him in Pitalito, Huila, far to the south.

1991 CE · 4.92, -74.12 · status: claim

The account

The story turned the Juaica crag into Colombia's best-known UFO-watching hill; a mural in Tabio commemorates it. Sources disagree on the man's first name (Luis Heberto or Dagoberto Rodríguez).

The sceptical view

No investigation corroborated the journey, and experts quoted locally remain doubtful.
