The radar of a Chilean Navy destroyer detected a UFO. The radar officer reported a distant flying object. 

A minute later, the "object" was 400 miles away. Due to the speed of the "object", the operator suspected a malfunction in his equipment. 

The next minute it was about 150 miles from 331 degrees true North. But the operator and the officer in charge of night duty (second-rank officer) assumed that this radar target was "a plane flying Southeast" - but at a speed of 213 miles per minute: 12780 miles per hour!
