Location: 
Пириаполис
Uruguay

In Piriapolis, a coastal settlement along the River Plate, located 100 kilometers from Montevideo, a UFO could be seen crossing the sky and seemingly descending near Cerro del Toro.


Piriapolis, a coastal area on the River Plate, located 100 km from Montevideo, Uruguay, was shocked in the early days of January by an impressive observation and recording that showed a huge circular ship in the shape of an arrowhead that crossed the sky, giving the impression of a descending ship near Cerro del Toro, located almost 5 kilometers from the city.


The most important feature of the recorded material is that it was made by a resident of Barrio La Falda, who could clearly see the UFO when he was talking to two other people, while many others also witnessed the event. 

Another important feature of the video is that in addition to its clarity, despite the fact that it occurred at night, it was possible to establish that it was not an airplane or any other known object, with a duration of more than four minutes, which is rare.


At one point in the conversation, one of the witnesses suggests that it could be people coming down the hill with lanterns, but the images do not show this (given the distance of 5 kilometers) and do show a huge round or arrow-like ship with different colors. It should be noted that these people previously took photos of UFOs in 2020


The event was investigated by famous Uruguayan ufologists, such as Gustavo Farias and Richard Carlen.

Uruguay: Enormous Circular Craft Reported

*In Piriápolis, a coastal community along the River Plate located 100 kilomteres from Montevideo, it was possible to see a UFO crossing the sky and seemingly descend near Cerro del Toro. The incident was recorded *

Piriápolis, a coastal location on the River Plate located 100 kilometers from Montevideo, Uruguay, was shaken in the early days in January by an impressive sighting and recording which showed an enormous circular and/or arrowhead-shaped craft which crossed the sky, giving the appearance of descending near Cerro del Toro, located nearly 5 kilometers outside the city.

The most important feature of the recorded material is that it was taken by a resident of Barrio La Falda who could see the UFO clearly as he spoke with two other people, while many others also witnessed the event. The video's other relevant feature is that aside from its clarity, despite the fact that it ocurred at night, it was possible to ascertain that it was not an airplane or any other known object, with a duration of over four minutes, which is a rarity.

At one point in the conversation, one of the witnesses expresses the possibility that the sighting could be people coming down the hill with flashlights, but the images do not show this (given the distance of 5 kilometers) and do show an enormous circular or arrowheaded craft with various colors, with a sequence that was hard to explain. It should be noted that these people had previously taken UFO photos in 2020.

The event was investigated by renowned Uruguayan ufologists such as Gustavo Farías and Richard Karlen. According to Karlen, he ratified the continuous 'visits' to the country, as only a few days earlier he had managed to take a photo of another strange craft in Playa La Mansa, Punta del Este, in broad daylight.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

The lights of cranes, pipes and skyscrapers

Most often, this category can be attributed to the lights of a crane, high-rise buildings, boiler pipes, etc., equipped with nighttime lighting that is visible through the haze, fog, or when the color match between the support and the color of the surrounding space.

For unexplained may be taken accidentally or deliberately issued when shooting photos and video. A feature of the lights of a construction crane (in contrast to the street lights) is the movement of the boom, which is a light source.
