Project 10073 Record Card and Associated Correspondence — Uruguay, September 1962

This document is a collection of records related to a UFO sighting in Uruguay on September 22, 1962. The primary report, filed by the Centro de Investigacion de Objetos Voladores Inidentificados (C.I.O.V.I.), details an observation made by a witness near Rodelú, Montevideo. The witness described a slow-moving, round, white object, approximately 50 centimeters in diameter, which appeared metallic and exhibited circular motion before ascending into the sky. The observation lasted between 15 and 20 minutes. The witness explicitly stated that the object had no portholes and made no sound. Weather conditions at the time were reported as clear with cirrus clouds and 55% humidity. The C.I.O.V.I. investigation concluded that the data provided was insufficient to determine the nature of the object, particularly because other witnesses reported aircraft maneuvering in the same area. The file also contains correspondence from 1958 regarding a separate incident in New Mexico, which was identified as a sun reflection (parhelion), and a teletype message regarding a weather balloon sighting in Italy, illustrating the varied nature of the records compiled under the Project 10073 series. The documentation includes formal observation cards, letters from witnesses, and internal assessments from the Uruguayan research center.
