SANTIAGO IN CHILE (AFP). -- Two "mysterious craft" were seen by hundreds of people in two points far away from Chile.
In Valparaiso, newspapers and radio stations were flooded with telephone calls emanating from tens of witnesses claiming that they had just observed the maneuvers of a flying saucer of reddish or purplished color and launching gleams.
In addition, many residents of Puerto Monte, a city located at the southern end of Chile, also state to have seen a saucer landing; which disappeared at the end of five minutes. According to the newspaper "La Nacion", several people who attended a burial indicated that it had been impossible for them to distinguish the shape of the "flying object" because of the purplished and dazzling light that it emitted and they specified that it rose without noise above ground-level.
