Werner Jaisli (artist)
Werner Jaisli was a traveler and Swiss artist born on 4 January 1949.[1] He died in December 2021.[2]
Life[edit]
Jaisli built a UFOport - a landing strip for extraterrestrials - three kilometres from the city of Cachi,[1] Argentina. The building, also known as the "Star of Hope", was recognised as architectural and urban heritage of the province of Salta in a vote by provincial deputies in September 2020.[3]
According to reports, Jaisli was dressed in an original way, sporting a large beard and druid clothing.[4]
Over the years, the town of Cachi has become a place of pilgrimage for enthusiasts of the UFOs.[5]
Star of Hope[edit]
Jaisli's master work is a large star made up of 36 branches, 48 metres in diameter, with a smaller star at its centre.[1][6] Everything is made of stones transported from the surrounding area and bleached. Jaisli built it between 2008 and 2012.[7]
Jaisli built his star after a Close Encounter of the third kind in 2008,[2] where he claimed to have received telepathically[8] orders of two UFOs.[9]
Poet[edit]
Jaisli wrote poetry that he never published on a commercial basis, but gave as gifts to his friends.[10]
