MONTEVIDEO (AFP). -- A private Uruguayan astronomical observatory known as "Antares" announced that it was offering for sale for $16,000 (80,000 F) a series of 21 very clear color photographs that it was able to take Thursday in broad daylight of an "unidentified object" in the sky.
In this case, the "flying saucer", observed north of Montevideo, has an oval shape. It was moving at an altitude of nearly 6,000 meters.
The object was clearly outlined against the sky. In its center, a sort of dome lit by a purplish light could be seen, as well as a hatch that went from the upper part of the craft to its edge.
The "Saucer", which could be observed for an hour and 45 minutes, at one point launched into space three smaller objects, still oval in shape, whose colors ranged from orange to purplish blue.
"Antares" quickly deduced that it was a "mother saucer", -- "gigantic space ship" that had just released "saucer-satellites", which were seen moving at dizzying speed.
The observatory claims that the photographs it offers for sale clearly corroborate its observations.
