On the evening of Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, Andrea Viviana García and a group of friends were driving in two cars from Bariloche to Junín de los Andes, in Argentina’s Neuquén province. They pulled over near Cerrito Piñón, about 55 kilometers from Junín, to wait for a friend who had fallen behind. That’s when they noticed a gray cloud with odd colors that seemed to be moving in circles.

García told the local paper LM Neuquén that the gray cloud appeared to turn and change shape while colors swirled across it and reflected off a long white cloud next to it. She called the whole thing something she had never seen before. The group watched until the gray cloud disappeared, leaving only the white one behind. She posted her video on social media.

A few hours later, four women elsewhere in Neuquén reported lights that looked similar. After finding García’s story online, they wondered whether they had seen the same thing. Cerrito Piñón already has a local reputation for sightings.

No one has offered an explanation, and no meteorologist has weighed in on the video.
