This fascinating 'UFO landing pad' has been built in the middle of the
Argentinian desert by a man who claimed aliens told him to construct it.
It's a collection of white and brown rocks in the shape of a star, known
as an 'ovniport' - and it appeared in the small town of Cachi in the
province of Salta.
It is believed to have been built by Swiss man Werner Jaisli, who
travelled to the area in search of extraterrestrials.

Visitors flock to the site - and no wonder. Because it's stunning.
A fact that's highlighted by aerial images.
After travelling to Argentina, Jaisli is reported to have claimed he
received a 'telepathic message' from aliens telling him they needed a
place to land on earth.
He told Argentine newspaper El Tribuno: 'They landed about 100 metres
above our heads and projected on us a beam of light that made us both
see their own brightness.
'The funny thing is that it did not affect our vision. Something began
to bubble through my brain: it was an order. They asked me
telepathically to build the airport.'
He is thought to have immediately got to work, making a large star in
2008 with 36 points that measures 48 metres in diameter.

Jaisli also made a smaller star and it took him until 2012 until his
work was complete.
As well as tourists, the site is also popular with UFO enthusiasts, who
believe they may be able to contact beings from another world from the
site.
However, soon after the ovniport was built, locals around Cachi stopped
seeing Jaisli, who had a large beard and would often wear a Druid
outfit.

It is unclear where he travelled to but some locals joked that he may
have been abducted by aliens.
However, it is thought he actually went to Bolivia - with another theory
that he travelled back to Switzerland.
