Uruguay UFO 1958, Witnesses and rotating lights

Summary

In March 1958, a UFO case in Uruguay was reported by multiple witnesses, including a bus driver and his wife. The detailed testimony describes red, green, and white lights spinning rapidly, with an intermittent red light in the center. The object moved at low altitude, intensely illuminating the area before disappearing abruptly toward the southwest. Although the report mentions insufficient data for a conclusive evaluation, the testimony is considered consistent and aligns with other classic cases from the era.

The Center for Investigations of Unidentified Flying Objects (CIOVI) assessed the case and classified it as a UFO, highlighting the reliability of the witnesses and the detailed description of the phenomenon. Despite being unable to identify the object as a balloon, aircraft, or astronomical event, the case was deemed valid due to its consistency and the absence of weather conditions that could explain the sighting. The report includes a precise description of the lights, their movement, and the environment's reaction, with no signs of electrical or physical disturbances in the witnesses.
