UFO observed by officer in 1956 in Uruguay

Summary

In November 1956, a Uruguayan Lieutenant Colonel reported an unidentified flying object while flying near the Russian border. The DC-3 pilot described a bright, oval-shaped object moving at high speed with an unusual swinging motion. According to the report, the object left no trail, had no visible cabin, and made a sudden right-angle turn. Although the CIOVI (Center for the Investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects) acknowledged the observation as clear, it concluded there was insufficient data for evaluation. The report highlights the impossibility of explaining it as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical phenomenon.

The pilot, a member of the Armed Forces, described the object's movement in detail, including a possible relation to Earth's magnetic fields. It is speculated that the observed swinging could be due to automatic adjustments for navigation. Despite the clarity of the testimony, the lack of additional data prevents a conclusive evaluation. The case was considered significant due to the credibility of the witness and the precise description of the phenomenon.
