The Uruguayan Air Force (FAU) Declassifies Its UFO Files

More and more governments are now releasing their UFO files. The Uruguayan Air Force’s UFO files should make interesting reading, since most of the UFO information from South America through the years has come from the excellent UFO organisations and researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Ecuador.
