  In 1962, while filming the television series "Steel Condors" at the Morón Air Base, Fabio and a captain take advantage of a break from filming to go on tour in a military plane. When they are flying over the Delta area, a flying saucer appears that slowly approaches and then moves away very quickly. This experience has a profound impact on Fabio.
  
  From that day Fabio dedicates all his free time to the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. And he goes out to tour the country discovering extraordinary cases.
