Background

At 9:10 p.m., the crew of the Argentine tanker Cazador saw a "signal flare light" in the South Atlantic Ocean outside the Golfo San Jorge, Argentina. They also heard voices as if from a ship in distress. The Norwegian ship Sumber observed a very bright object traveling horizontally in the same area. Eberhart cites Joseph M. Brill's 1979 MUFON UFO Journal article on alleged underwater bases off the coast of Argentina and Dolan's compilation of unidentified submerged object cases. 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.
