AnomalyOn May 26, 1979 at 2:30 a.m. local time, two witnesses on watch aboard a cargo ship observe for 2 to 3 minutes a group of four juxtaposed radar echoes forming a large echo with sharp outlines observed on a V 22 radar. The nature of the echo does not correspond to weather clutter or to multiple reflection from the hulls. The vessel is underway in the Pacific Ocean north of Chimborazo, a volcano in Ecuador.
