An illuminated object that looked like a railroad car took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions
V. and G. Tomasini and H. Zenobi saw an object on the ground 100 meters away from the road. It looked like a railroad car and was illuminated. As they came close to it, the object took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a humming noise and was seen on the ground for one minute. Within a circle 60 meters in radius, grass was burned, insects were carbonized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base. Physiological effects were reported.One luminous ball was observed by one military witness in a forest for several days.
