Background

At 10:40 a.m. TV cameramen Manuel Juarez and Oscar Tobar were videotaping a car commercial in Guatemala City, Guatemala, when a UFO came into view. They videotaped the UFO instead. It was in view for 51 seconds, moving at about 100 mph. The International UFO Reporter reported the case in November 1977 and published the first photos from the videotape in January 1978. 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.
