Argentine Airlines Flight: Glowing Objects Pace Plane
On March 13, 1974, a civilian airliner of Argentine Airlines flying from San Juan in Puerto Rico to Córdoba in Argentina was accompanied by two luminous objects for several minutes before they accelerated away.
Background
Incident
On March 13, 1974, an Argentinian Airlines passenger aircraft on its route from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Córdoba, Argentina was accompanied by two glowing objects. They kept pace alongside the aircraft for several minutes before disappearing at high speed.
Witnesses and Observations
The crew of the civil aircraft reported the sighting. The objects glowed and matched the aircraft's speed, which suggests deliberate behaviour. No further details of specific individuals were given.
Sources and Evidence
Reported in "Skylook", issue no. 83 (October 1974), page 9, and in "UFOEv II", page 121. The incident is regarded as a classic case of a pacing manoeuvre by unidentified objects.
Significance
The case illustrates how often civil aircraft encountered UAP in the 1970s, particularly over Latin American airspace. It adds to the record of such events, without official military involvement.
