Quote from the article (translation by Google Translate):
“Declassifying shocking northern UFO cases

Friday, 14 November 2003. Antofagasta Cerro Moreno Airport. A few minutes after take off from the slab bound for Iquique, the crew of the Boeing 737-200 captures a situation that defies logic.

It’s 00:26 pm and the pilot and copilot are approaching at high speed and falling toward the passenger ship three spherical lights forming a triangle. The size of each of them is smaller than a soccer ball. Flying in perfect order.

So unexpected and surprising is the appearance of these objects, the co-pilot, who had command of the ship, is forced to make a quick turn to the right. Allows the emergency maneuver to dodge the lights, passing less than a meter of the windshield on the left side of the cabin.

The control tower did not catch anything, neither radar. But pilot and copilot agree in their statements. Both are sure of what they saw and reported to the Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA), an agency of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC). The episode threatened the safety of the flight and the situation should be formally investigated.”
