I was eleven years of age at the time spending a year with my father. The whole family was home when I was upstairs on the terrace with my telescope over looking the Andean moutains I saw lights in the distance and decided to see if I could track the objects the strange appearance of rotating colors from the diamond shaped objects had me mesmerized. My father and brother said not to bother any urther yet I could not stop looking till they floated over the high horizon of the moutain range. To this day I have wondered if the family had been visited by aliens. The fact that we lived at an isolated area away from the city and neighbors. I have repeatedly asked my family about the incident. They admit to the strange occurence being a weather ballon or discounting the whole event all together.
