SANTIAGO, Chile, July 5. (AP) -- Argentine, British and Chilean military and scientific personnel in the Antartic watched what they called a curious celestial body for about 20 minutes yesterday, the Chilean Air Force reported today.
Air Force headquarters released a copy of a report from the air force commander at San Pedro Aguirre Cerda Base in the Antartic saying that personnel there saw an object "glowing with a white light cruising in a northeast-southwest direction at a high rate of speed."
The report said the object turned, flew a zigzag course and seemed at times to hang suspended in the air.
