19 July 1965

The whole article:
“Latin Americans watched for flying saucers Sunday as
reports of a landing spread across Latin America.
A youth was reported as saying he saw a four-legged
object touch down for two minutes in broad daylight Saturday (17 July 1965) on
a beach just across the River Plata in Uruguay.
He was quoted in Buenos Aires as saying the object
shot skywards in a blinding flash after a tug hooted a siren.
One of several Uruguayans who claimed to have seen the
object on Honda Beach said it had a circular center, with flattened, oval
extensions on either side.
A Roman Catholic review, commenting on the recent
spate of strange sightings in Latin America, said if there had been visitors
from other worlds one could be glad that they did not appear to harbour sinister
intentions.
The description by the Uruguayan tallied with a
photograph published here on the front page on Sunday’s tabloid newspaper El
Mundo. It was claimed to have been taken as an unidentified object hovered over
a gas plant in the southern city of Bahia Blanca (Argentina).
