Aug 25, 2026

In the late 1990s, Argentine contactee Hugo Batallanos began presenting photographs he said showed extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings appearing around him and his family in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina.

Batallanos said the photographs were taken during a series of contact experiences involving members of his family.

Contact with the Beings of Pernia

Hugo and his family reportedly practiced group meditation as a means of establishing contact with nonhuman intelligences. The family later formed the Centro de Estudios Cosmobiológicos.

They said the beings came from a place called Pernia and described them as interdimensional entities.

According to Batallanos, some of these beings could physically manifest during the family’s contact sessions, allowing them to be photographed and filmed.

The Photographs

Batallanos claimed to have accumulated a large number of photographs and videos during the encounters.

Accounts of the case describe photographs showing the alleged beings around members of the group, including images said to show entities appearing above them during contact sessions.

The exact dates of most of these photographs are unclear, although the Batallanos contact experiences are generally placed in the late 1990s.

A separate UFO photograph credited to Hugo Batallanos dates to approximately 1997, showing that he was already photographing alleged anomalous phenomena in San Salvador de Jujuy during this period.
