In view of the post about the Russian who says that UFOs are U.S. spy technology, I want to tell you about an UFO sighting that happened in my country in a very small town called Mechita, where, at the time, large investments of Russian capital were being made.
Before talking about the UFO, I have to explain the scenario in which the sighting took place, so bear with me:
On september 25, 2017, the government authorized the call to conduct an international public bidding process for the acquisition of 169 new electric trains, for the price of US$ 2,794,809,280.
The following month Transmashholding (largest manufacturer of locomotives and railway equipment in Russia) announced its intentions to establish itself in the country:
Transmashholding (TMH), Russia's largest manufacturer of rolling stock and railway equipment, will set up in the country.
Initially, the firm will invest some US$200 million in a plant for the manufacture of parts and pieces for railway equipment, but it is not ruled out that it will expand its presence in the near future.
According to several national media reports, TMH's president Hans Schabert, the company's CEO Kirill Lipa and the president of the Argentine subsidiary, Thibault Peters-Deteract, met a few days ago with President Mauricio Macri and the Minister of Transport, Guillermo Dietrich, to inform them of their plans to set up in the country.
Months ago, CEO Kirill Lipa had assured that the firm was interested in participating in the mega bidding for 169 electric trains recently launched by the Ministry of Transport.
Shortly thereafter, in december 20, 2017, Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura, under the National Ministry of Transportation, signed an agreement with the company Transmashholding, through its subsidiary, TMH Argentina, by which the Russian company will immediately invest US$ 3 million to reactivate the “Mechita” railway workshop, located in the town of Bragado, Province of Buenos Aires, which was deactivated in 2011.
As part of the agreement signed by both parties, Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura will provisionally cede the premises of the Mechita Workshop and the shunting yard of the Mecha station (adjacent to the workshop and unused for several years) for a period of 3 years with the purpose of rehabilitating it. For its part, the Russian company is committed to invest after the signing of the agreement the sum of US$ 3 million for the adaptation of the premises and its full operation and, at the same time, to deliver within four months a definitive project for the workshop.
"Transhmashholding has made the decision to actively respond to the new business climate prevailing in Argentina and to the major modernization plan for the railway system launched by the current government. Our goal is to create an industrial pole in this country, with repair facilities, comprehensive overhaul and manufacturing of state-of-the-art rolling stock and the installation of spare parts manufacturing plants, for which we will invest close to US$200 million and generate more than 500 direct jobs,” said Oleg Kruglyakov, vice president of international business of the Russian company.
On November 8, 2018, the Ministry of Transport decided to cancel the previous public bidding process dated September 25, 2017 to authorize a new one, for the purchase 70 electric trains, for the price of US$ 759,248,000.
At the time, three companies submitted their offers: Alstom Brazil, Russia's Transmashholding (TMH) and Argentina's Vemerkiper Ingeniería:
The bid ended up adjudicated to TMH, a nearly $900 million project:
Already in 2019, articles continued to mention Russian investments:
IMPORTANT VISITS OF TMH GLOBAL AND ARGENTINA TO MECHITA.
On Thursday afternoon, executives of the Russian giant TMH, world leader in railway engineering, visited the workshops of Mechita and made a stop at the Municipality to greet the Mayor Vicente Gatica.
They were MARTIN VAUJOUR, CEO TMH INTERNATIONAL and president of TMH ARGENTINA; OLEG DOMSKIY, Financial Director of TMH RUSSIA GLOBAL; THIBAULT DESTERACT, Chief DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL and NATALIA RYZHUK, Financial Director TMH INTERNATIONAL.
TMH has planned different stages and at present after the reactivation of the railway workshops of this small town, with works achieved through tenders that allow to generate the previous instances to future developments.
It was even learned that a company from Sweden is installing itself in the structure of Mechita's warehouses to complement railway maintenance works. This is highly significant since it is the first time that this company has opened workshops outside its country.
US$ 70 million Russian investment to reactivate a railroad workshop
TMH Argentina, the Argentine subsidiary of the private Russian group Transmashholding, and Trenes Argentinos Infraestructura, an agency of the National Ministry of Transportation, announced the start of construction of a state-of-the-art rolling stock factory in Mechita. It will require an investment of 70 million dollars and, according to the Russian company, will generate 1,200 direct and indirect jobs.
The project is part of the US$200 million investment plan that TMH Argentina is implementing in the country.
The event was attended by President Mauricio Macri, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, María Eugenia Vidal, the Minister of Transportation of the Nation, Guillermo Dietrich and the President of TMH International, Hans Schabert.
The new plant will include the construction of a state-of-the-art workshop. Mechita is expected to become a pole of railway development, with a research and development center and the possibility of new suppliers from all over the world joining the site.
In fact, for this purpose, the Swedish company Dellner, focused on the maintenance and assembly of railway vehicles and other industrial components, was installed in the Mechita Workshops.
To conclude the post and not make much longer, I leave the articles of the triangular UFO sighting.
In January 2020, the following articles were published:
A UFO was reportedly seen in Mechita.
A mysterious episode occurred last Friday night in Mechita, although it only came to light in the last hours: it was reported by Diego Sarquís, 43 years old, a resident of Mechita who claims to have seen a strange object flying in the skies of that town.
“I saw a huge object of 15 meters in the shape of a black triangle darker than the sky and with red tips. It moved from left to right and made no noise, there was no engine or turbine sound and it was located about 50 meters above the trees,” said the witness.
When asked by Bragado Informa, Sarquís said: “It was 10:30 pm. I was with a friend in his house, cooking pizzas, I had a tremendous heat so I decided to go outside and when I leaned against a car, I looked up and saw a huge black triangle-shaped object darker than the sky and with red tips. It moved from left to right and made no noise, there was no engine or turbine sound and it was located about 50 meters above the trees”.
Sarquís also said: “I was very scared, I never thought I would see something like that. I started shouting and calling my friends who were inside the house, but when they came out with their children, the object was lost among the trees”.
“I was asked to make a drawing of what I saw, I never imagined this situation in my 43 years of life. The object was large, more or less 10 to 15 meters in diameter,” said the eyewitness.
