The following is extracted from en offi icial report written by Mr
and contains observations of an unidentified flying object in the
vicinity of Cajamarca. The observations were made by qualified weather gbservers
in the Weather Observatory of the Compania Peruana da Servicios Meteorologicos,
S.A. on the continental divide about 35 miles S of Cajamarca.at an altitude of
3750 meters and has the geographical coordinates of 07 25'30 gec S; 78°20'30 sec
W. The report was dated 8 November 1957 and the extreebrianas follows:
"First I saw an object white-steel-gleaming on October 26th, 57, at
noon-timeshown to me by Mr Administrator of Hda.
Sunchubamba, together with Mrs. and Mr. and Mrs.
duning our stay on the Sunchubamba lake. It was visible for more than
15 ainutes and could be observed easily without binoculars. On
Uctober 28th, 57, I saw the same thing at 1239 Lima time, which means
1839 GMT, working on the Pilot-Balloon-Observation-Stand at Kanzel-
Observatory, and noted its position measured by the automatic "Zeias-
Recording-Theodolite" as follows:
Azimuth anglo 116 and Elevation angle: 44;
he same object at
position 119° Azimuth angle and 65,6° Efevation angle, direction not
exactly identifiable. On the Same-day at l33 Lima-time 1839 GMTI
saw it again at position ll8, 5° Azinuth angle and 71° Elevation angle,
moving slowly to approximately 300° -3l0°. On alr these days the
visibility has been bad. Again I saw the same object yesterday,
7/ll/57, after a telephone call from Mrs. about the same
gleaming object visible from Hda.i and advising me the
approx. position. After comparing the correct GMT minute I measured
by our Zeiss-Theodolite the following positions:
