REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE OF THE C.I.0.V.I. (INVESTIGATING CENTER

OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS) ON THE CASE WHICH OCCURRED 7 JULY 1958,

This: investigating committee, after holding five special meetings to consider
this case, where all the members were present and after having made all the proper
technical investigations finds it necessary to make the following remarks:

CONSIDERATIONS:

1) That the phenomenon which occurred on the stated date was observed in a
vast zone of the Republic which extends from the Department of Rocha to the Department :
of Soriano. The observers indicated some changes in position with respect to this
object. ‘

2) That the observers agree that it was a spheric object (except the observation
by and family which can be found in a different report), autoluminous,
and which at its path illuminating vast extensions,

- 2) That there are differences in descriptions concerning size and color of the
ODjCCT.e :

Rpt #: IR-71-568
4) That in spite of that, the light that it gave was a bluish white, it did
not produce shades and it illuminated the objects at distances of more than 60
kilometers, making all the objects of. the same color.
5) That one person who lives in Pan de Azucar reported that the population
of the zone could hear on the afternoon of the 7th a sound similar to an explosion,
They had commented on this fact, not giving it importance.
6) That to our suggestion to the time in which this sound was heard, this
person agreed that it was around 130,
7) That at 1433 on the same day the crew of an AIR FRANCE plane reported to
the authorities of Carrasco Airport stating that they had observed a strange luminosity
over the zone (a phenomenon that took place again at 2030 according to a report made
by the crew and passengers of an IBERIA airlines plane),
8) The people which were in this moment at the airport could hear a strange sound

and saw the luminosity. .
9) That persons who were on the observation terrace reported that they had heard

at 1430 a noise similar to that described by the resident from Pan de Azucar.

10) That Mr. and family observed at 2030 on the road to Minas,
Kilometer 76, an objec different characteristics than those described above (as
it is stated on the corresponding report), having certain physical effects of which

- — _ * '_———+ + --

/
Set 1/1, Card },/ —o Rpt #: IR-71-58. ¢ a

there are antecedents in other parts of the world.
21) That by all this which has been exposed, this case has very special
characteristics which make it difficult to understand in all its complex phenomenon,

although there are antecedents with respect to certain aspects that this object

presents which are considered isolated.
This investigating committee has arrived at.the following conclusions:

1) That the object seen in various localities of the Departments of Rocha,
Lavalleja, Maldonado, Canelones, Montevideo, San Jose and Soriano is the same

(except for the observation by Mr.Qqglliand family). nS |
2) That this object performed maneuvers which reveal that it was directed by

an intelligence. a
3) That the C.I.0.V.I. stated publicly by the press (without being disproved)

that it was not a natural phenomenon such as a meteorite or a thunderbolt, which were

the explanations given to the case.
h) That the difference in the appreciation of the size of the object is due to |

the distance of the observers with respect to the same.
| ©). That the object changed color (which, according to one of the most widespread
theories, would be the product of the method used for its propulsion, electromagnetism).

6) That the luminosity which this object emits has other antecedents in our

/
“f

own country but which is phenomenon difficult to explain due to its peculiar charac-

teristics, |
7) That taking into consideration its luminosity and the sound which it some-

times produces, this could be the same one which appeared on the afternoon of the
same dry.

8) That the sound as well as something similar to sparks or bubbles which were
emitted on certain paths would be phenomenous produced by a special type of propulsion

which hag not been created by man up to this date.
9) That everything which has been exposed has the characteristics of an

unidentified flying object, therefore it is difficult to determine the type of the
unidentified flying object although it is similar to the "FOO-FIGHTERS" observed
by the pilots in the second world war. | |

- NOTE: The: pilots of both sides reported, after returning from fighter and
bomber missions, that strange balls of different sizes and colors would accompany
them almost continuously including when they dived. The explanation given by high
military authorities was that it concerned a secret weapon of the opposite side,
But after the war this was contradicted and such phenomenons continued.

NOTE: This i strong statement to indicate that there were two objects
since only in theGlliggme a se such an electrical disturbance happened. This did

not happen: with the passage of the "FOO-FIGHTERS" even if it was flying at a very

low altitud, |
16) That the physical effects that Mr. Qimexperienced could have a

radioactive origin.
17) That this object was also controlled by an intelligence since it made a

maneuver. —
°° 18) That the blue extension which was emitted from the center of the object
* which later exploded producing a ripping sound has antecedents concerning color

and the explosive characteristics.
-°19) That the luminosity in this case could not only be dve directly to the

"disc" but to the speric object previously referred to in this study and which made

its passage by that locality ( bservation) at the same time,
' “ 20)' That by Mr. and Mrs. report, the "disc" was nevertheless auto-

luminous,

21) That due to all the exposed characteristics this was an unidentified
flying object type flying saucer whose diameter is calculated approximtely at

20 or 30 meters. ,
NOTE: This investigating committee does not consider this case finished

with this study since if there are any other alternatives they would be added and
a new reconsideration of the same would take place,
