Background

At 2:30 p.m. employees at Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo, Uruguay, watched a strange oval object above the northeast horizon. It changed shape and ejected a smaller body that moved below and behind it. An operator named de Rizzardo in the control tower saw an oval object with protuberances, accompanied by a pair of smaller bodies. Chief Controller Pedro V. Ocamp was still fumbling with binoculars as the objects sped away. Eberhart cites Loren E. Gross, UFOs, a History: 1954, January–May. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
