Port-au-Prince, Haiti: Three men track spinning disc with theodolite for 20 minutes

From 7:35 to 7:55 p.m. on August 30, 1962, three men having supper at an outdoor restaurant near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, one of whom worked for Techint Engineering Company, watched a UFO approach and hover for 20 minutes. The engineer had a portable theodolite with him, and they set it up to track the object. It was a silvery-gray disc, like two rounded hubcaps put together, spinning on its axis, with an antenna on top, exhaust ports around its mid-line and gaseous emissions that ran through all the colors of the spectrum. The object flipped to a vertical alignment, showing its base, then tipped over so that its original topside was at the bottom, and finally accelerated silently and disappeared within 5 seconds. Project Blue Book concluded that the men had been watching the planet Venus. 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.
