Commander Julio Chamorro, a retired officer of the Peruvian Air Force (FAP), has become one of the most influential figures in the formal investigation of the Anomalous Aerospace Phenomenon (AAP) in Latin America.
With a solid military career dedicated to protecting air sovereignty and fighting drug trafficking, Chamorro has combined his technical experience with an open outlook on the new challenges posed by the presence of unidentified phenomena in Peruvian airspace.

Military and Academic Trajectory

Julio Chamorro served for decades in the Peruvian Air Force, where he gained experience in interception operations, aerial surveillance, and national airspace security.
After retirement, he worked as a university professor, specializing in topics of defense and air geopolitics.

From his position as a military officer and academic, Chamorro holds that the investigation of the AAP is not a matter of curiosity, but of national sovereignty and operational security.

Just as a drone that films without permission violates the privacy of a home, a craft that enters without authorization violates a country’s sovereignty.

The Strategic Importance of the Anomalous Aerospace Phenomenon (AAP)

Chamorro presents two fundamental axes for the study of the AAP:

Defense and national sovereignty:
Every unidentified aerial incursion must be investigated with the same rigor as any conventional threat.
The lack of action or record, he warns, could imply geopolitical risks if other nations manage more information about our own airspace.
Safety of civil and military operations:
AAPs can pose risks of collision or electromagnetic interference, which requires the creation of official protocols for identification and response.

Chamorro insists that not all intelligences interacting with Earth are necessarily benevolent.
Although he estimates that around 60% could have friendly or neutral intentions, the rest represent an unknown that requires prudence and organization.

He also invites reflection on the ownership of the planet, provocatively asking:

Can we claim that this planet is ours?
Perhaps they arrived first… and feel owners of the territory.

The La Joya Incident (1981)

One of the most emblematic episodes in Commander Chamorro’s career is his participation in the investigation of the UFO incident at La Joya (Arequipa) in 1981, one of the most documented cases of the Peruvian Air Force.

Testimony and Confirmation

Chamorro confirms that the sightings were real and repeated several times, to the point of becoming “routine” for flight crews.

He recounts that he and his squadron searched for a “lost city” or “ghost city,” visible as a large luminous metropolis in the Andes, at kilometer 1000.
That city seemed to move or shift along with the planes that attempted to approach, mysteriously disappearing upon direct visual contact attempts.

Military Secrecy and Foreign Investigation

Contrary to conspiratorial theories, Chamorro clarifies that military silence about the case was not due to national security reasons, but to an internal order to avoid distracting personnel.

Years later, in 2000, while in the Aerospace Defense Commission (CDAE), he discovered something surprising:
an American researcher possessed confidential documents of the incident with precise details, including the tail number of the plane, fuel consumed, and even what pilot Santa María had for breakfast.

This, according to Chamorro, demonstrates that the United States monitored and archived information about events that occurred in Peruvian territory.

Call for Organization and Contact Protocols

Commander Chamorro maintains that humanity must prepare for contact with non‑human intelligences by establishing social and governmental protocols that allow a calm and orderly response to a possible global event.

He proposes the creation of official channels of communication and information exchange among countries, scientific institutions, and citizens.

It’s not about fear, but about readiness.
We must organize to know how to act when the moment of contact arrives.

Anthropological and Spiritual Perspective

Chamorro suggests that the peoples of Peru and Latin America possess a genetic memory or “genetomimesis” that ancestrally connects them with these visitors.
That heritage would explain why many Latin Americans feel natural empathy toward beings from space, perceiving them as benevolent guides who once lived with our ancestors.
