Description

The video is not mine and has very low sound. The man filming is named Omar Vera and worked as a radar operator at the Montevideo airport.

The description (https://i.imgur.com/SBTWYeK.jpeg) of the incident reads:

*That December 25, 1990 my family had spent the day with my Argentine relatives who were visiting. I had a video camera with me and took it with me when I went to the airport for my shift. It was late afternoon but it was still daylight, the colleague who was in the approach sector reported that he had an echo on the radar and that he didn't know what it was. I called the military base and Punta del Este and there was no traffic reported.*

*There were two echoes, one of them was farther ahead than the other, so I started to film the radar screen with the camera. The dots were approaching, approximately along the runway locator line.*

*One of them was close enough to see with the naked eye. With the binoculars we swept the entire area where the supposed device was supposed to be, and nothing.*

*At that moment, a Pluna plane asks me to take off. I authorized it. The Pluna plane made the take-off run and took off, at that moment something extraordinary happened, which is recorded in the video: the object that was closest to the runway, which according to the radar should have been almost on top of it, began a vertiginous maneuver of turning right and moving away.*

*I then calculated the speed with the help of an engineer friend and it was over 7000 km/h according to the distance traveled that the radar allowed to see. The other object was still approaching regularly, but was still far away from the runway. At no time, until the two dots disappeared from the radar, could we see anything, although according to the indications of the apparatus, they should have been completely within our field of view.*

*My partner and I kept that experience to ourselves and did not want to divulge it. Due to the insistence of some journalists to whom the existence of the video came to light, I finally agreed to its disclosure. The CRIDOVNI interrogated me for 4 hours. The investigation proved that there was no radar failure. At the technical level nothing could be refuted.*
