January 31, 1948 Another flying disc is seen over Santiago. The strange phenomenon is described as a "body of extraordinary brilliance."



Last night, shortly after 9:30 a.m., Mr. Orlando Vergara came to us to say that at this Hour he and his friends Manuel Meneses and Edgardo Manriquez had just witnessed the passage of a flying disk during a conversation on the corner of the streets of Brazil and the Andes.

Mr. Vergara explained that what they saw was a body of extraordinary brilliance, round in shape, crossing the sky with mind-boggling speed from east to west, or rather, from the Cordillera to the sea.

They were most impressed by the fact that the strange object left a dotted trail in its path, which later disappeared into space. We were assured that [the object] did not bear the slightest resemblance to an aerolite, as its dimensions were much larger, as was its brightness.

Another Flying Disk Seen Over Santiago

Strange phenomenon described as "a body of extraordinary brilliance"

Shortly after 9:30 last night, Mr. Orlando Vergara visited us to say that at that hour, he and his friends Manuel Meneses and Edgardo Manríquez had just witness the transit of a flying disk while talking on the corner of Brasil and Andes streets.
Mr. Vergara explained that what they saw was a body of extraordinary brilliance, circular in shape, crossing the sky at breathtaking speed from east to west, or rather, from the Cordillera to the sea.
What impressed them most was that the strange object left a dotted wake in its path, which later dissolved in space. They assured us that [the object] did not bear the slightest resemblance to an aerolith, as it size was much greater, as was its brightness.
