UFO sighted in Uruguay in 1958

Summary

In June 1958, a witness in Uruguay observed a tube-shaped object moving north with a vertical flight. The object disappeared to the east at an extremely high speed. The sighting description is brief and does not include photographs or additional data. The report concludes that there is insufficient information to evaluate the nature of the object.

The report, classified under Project 10073, was reported by a source known as CIOVI. Although the observation was recorded visually from the ground, no other types of measurements were made and no images were obtained. Due to the lack of concrete data, it cannot be determined whether the object was a balloon, an aircraft, an astronomical phenomenon, or something entirely different.
