Antarctica: USS Glacier Crew Witnesses Egg-Shaped Object with Multicolored V-Formation Rays
On March 16, 1961, a Brazilian meteorologist and five others aboard USS Glacier during Operation Deep Freeze at Admiralty, Antarctica witnessed an egg-shaped object with multicolored rays in V-formation that split into two egg shapes before vanishing.
Background
A Brazilian meteorologist, aboard the USS Glacier, was taking part in a US Navy exercise, Operation Deep Freeze, at Admiralty, Antarctica on March 16, 1961. He and five others witnessed the flyover of a sharply defined, egg-shaped object, estimated as about the length of a small aircraft. It soared slowly across the sky, 50 degrees above the horizon. Multicolored rays extended back in a V formation — primarily red, blue, and green and changing continually. The vehicle left a narrow orange trail. Suddenly the front and rear split apart, each forming a complete egg shape. Then both vanished.
