At 9:45 p.m., radio operator Arquimedes Fernandez at Santa Maria Air Force Base, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, saw a strange cloud above the trees shaped like an upside-down washbowl. It was a solid body about 160 feet across, oscillating, with a small light on top. Fernandez radioed a report to weather headquarters at Porto Alegre. The object remained in view until his duty shift ended at 1:15 a.m. 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.
