ALIENS are the real architects behind a bizarre "UFO landing pad" which has been been built in the heart of an Argentinian desert, it's been claimed.
Swiss man Werner Jaisli claims he was contacted by extra terrestrials who told him they needed a landing spot on Earth.
The spectacular space terminal is a collection of rocks which form the shape of a star - known as an 'ovniport' - near the small town of Cachi in the province of Salta.
Jaisli is reported to have claimed to have constructed the site after he received a "telepathic message" from aliens telling him they needed a site to land on earth.
He told Argentine newspaper : "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."
Jasli is then said to have constructed a large star in 2008 with 36 points that measures 48 metres in diameter. He then added a smaller star later.
Not surprisingly, the site is a huge attraction for UFO nuts who hope to contact ETs who have travelled light years from darkest space.
To add to the mystery, soon after the site was completed locals say they stopped seeing Jaisli- sparking theories he had been abducted by aliens. However, it is thought he actually travelled back to Switzerland.
