Case description
The preserved Montevideo entry is dated 30 January 1958 at approximately 5:20 a.m. It records one object observed for about thirty minutes and mentions close photographs. The object is categorised as a light; the surviving abstract provides no recoverable shape, colour, motion sequence or description of its eventual disappearance. A military connection is present in the catalogue metadata, but the observer is not named.
The source trail runs through Larry Hatch’s database to assorted UFOCAT printouts. Its title refers to an unidentified Project Blue Book case rather than supplying a case number that can be checked against a file. No original photograph, camera details, exposure data or accompanying witness statement was identified in the material reviewed. Other Montevideo reports from the same period cannot fill these gaps simply because they share a city or date.
Accordingly, this remains a sparse photographic-sighting entry. A photograph reference does not demonstrate occupants, a landing or contact with an entity. The provisional entity classification preserves the imported record for further research; it is not evidence of a described being. The plate uses an anonymous observer and unresolved light in a contextual Montevideo setting, with that limitation displayed instead of inventing an alien or a close metallic vehicle.
