Antarctica

Monday at 19:50 meteorological officer Jorge stanić conducted regular observations at the Argentine base. The sky was completely covered with a layer of clouds. The observer noticed a stationary bright yellow light at an altitude of 25 degrees above the horizon and estimated its distance at 2000 meters (6560 feet). The witness is sure that the duration of observation was 5 seconds.

Tuesday, 2:20, the same observer had a new observation under the same circumstances. The stationary light was observed again within 4 seconds to the North-West with a height of 40 degrees above the horizon. The light was similar in color to the one that was discovered the previous day, and was also lower layered cloud coverage 8/8.

The witness claimed that two minutes after observation he heard a faint sound. The distance from the witness to the vertical of the object is determined as 1000 m (3280 ft). According to the observer, the angular size of the object was like 1 cm at arm's length. Consequently, the actual diameter of 1,300 metres was 20 meters (65,6 feet).

The second attempt to estimate the size of the object, the witness indicated that the head of a match (0.25 cm) covers 1/3 of the object. This estimate yields an actual diameter of 15 meters (49 feet) at a distance of 1300 meters. From this it was concluded that the actual diameter of the UFO was between 15 and 20 meters (49-66 ft).

The light was similar in color to the one detected the previous day and was also below the stratus cloud deck of 8/8 coverage. The witness claimed to have heard a grave sound of hardly any intensity two minutes after the observation. The distance from the witness to the vertical of the object is determined to be 1000 m (3280 ft). According to the observer the angular size of. the object was like 1 cm at arm’s length.
