Initial data
At approximately 3: 30 p.m. on July 11, 1977, 29-year-old horticulturist Hector Rufino Delgado was working in his greenhouse at the back of his Florida home (Uruguay). It was a magnificent day with almost clear blue skies, and the temperature, despite the winter season, was almost spring. A light breeze was blowing from the East.
Suddenly the elder Delgado heard a high-pitched buzzing sound:
"Something like what an electric motor or fan produces."
However, he did not pay attention to the noise and continued their work. The buzzing increased, but after a few seconds it decreased until it was almost invisible. In less than a minute, the buzzing returned to an audible level and increased again. This time, his tone was a little sharper.
"It wasn't constant, but its intensity noticeably increased and decreased, and the same with the tone," the elder Delgado said.
The witness wondered about the possible origin of the sound.
He put down the tools he was using and went to the doorway. He saw about 200 meters from his position and no more than 50 meters above the ground, a silver disc-shaped object moving smoothly in the air.
"I was slow to react. It never occurred to me that I might encounter such a thing... but here it is, gently swaying, balancing in the air a few meters above the ground, " the witness assured.
After a few minutes of indecision, Rufino ran into the house to get his camera. He grabbed the camera and ran back, fearing that the strange object might fly away.
"I ran as fast as I could. When I was looking for my camera at home, I wondered if it was really worth taking a picture of the object or if it would be there when I left the house and returned.
However, from the doorway of my house I saw it again, no longer suspended in the air motionless, but moving very slowly to the South."
He had barely returned to the greenhouse when he stopped to take a picture, but saw that there would be trees on the way. He ran to a better place.
"When I took the first picture, the UFO was still moving very slowly to the South, but I barely had time to photograph it, as the object abruptly changed its speed and trajectory and began several ascent maneuvers, increasing its height above the ground," he said.
Original news
When Hector Rufino Delgado saw a strange, disc-shaped craft approaching him, flying on its side, he grabbed his camera – and shot a series of six pictures when the object changed its position and passed him and disappeared in the opposite direction.

At about 3:30 pm on July 11th, 1977, Sr. Hector Rufino Delgado, 29, a horticulturist, was working in his greenhouse at the rear of his home in Florida, Uruguay. It was a magnificent day with an almost clear blue sky, and the temperature, in spite of the winter season, was almost spring-like. A light breeze was blowing in from the east. Suddenly, Sr. Delgado heard a high pitched humming sound, “Something like that produced by an electric motor, or a ventilator.” He nevertheless paid little attention to the noise and continued with his work. The humming increased in intensity, but a few seconds later it decreased until it was almost imperceptible. In less than a minute, the humming came back to the audible level again and increased once more. This time its tone was a little sharper. “It was not constant, but its intensity increased and decreased perceptibly, and the same with the tone,” said Sr. Delgado. The witness began to wonder about the possible origin of the sound.
He laid down the tools he was using and went to the doorway to the lookout. He saw, some 200m from his position and no more than 50m above the ground, a silver disc-shaped object moving smoothly, suspended in the air. “I was slow to react; never had the thought occurred to me that I might encounter a thing like this… but there it was, swinging gently as it balanced itself in the air a few meters above the ground,” assured the witness. After a few moments of indecision, Rufino ran to the house to get his camera. He grabbed the camera and raced back, fearing the strange object might leave. “I ran as fast as I was able. When I was looking for my camera in my house, I wondered if it would really be worthwhile to photograph the object, or whether it would be there when I came out of the house and got back.
However from the doorway of my house, I saw it again, no longer suspended motionless in the air, but moving very slowly toward the south.” He barely arrived back out at the greenhouse when he stopped to take a picture, but he saw that some trees would be in the way. He ran to a better location. “When I took the first photograph the UFO was still moving very slowly toward the south, but I had barely snapped it when the object drastically altered its velocity and trajectory and commenced some climbing maneuvers as it increased its elevation above the ground,” declared the witness.
