# Peruvian snaps a UFO-- 'shaped like soup plate'

United Press

LIMA (Peru) - A Lima architect said Monday he stood 30 yards from a flying saucer "shaped like an overturned soup plate," photographed the object and offered his pictures as proof.

"I never thought I would see a flying saucer, much less photograph one," said Hugo Luyo Vega. "I think, using the finest camera equipment in the world, I would never be able to do it again without the same extraordinary luck that I had last Friday."

Hugo Luyo offered both his pictures and the word of a client he had taken to the Lima countryside in search of a home site as proof of the event. He said he and his client had driven about 54 miles inland along the Rimac River when they came to a stop near a valley surrounded by tall hills.

In the midst of their survey, he said, "my client, obviously excited, told me he saw a shining object in the

bottom of the valley that was advancing towards as extremely slowly.

"The car was not far away. I ran back for my camera, because in that fraction of a second I thought I, too, had seen something interesting.

"When I pointed my camera and took the picture, the object was less than 50 yards away from us and about 20 yards off the ground. "Suddenly, the object changed direction, headed toward the East and increased its speed. It rose off the ground as if trying to avoid some high tension wires that came down from the top of one of the hills and crossed the valley, and disappeared from view."

Hugo Luyo said the object "was the color of burnished silver. It was shaped like an overturned sbup plate with a cupola on the top.

"At the very top of the cupola, there was a round object giving off a fixed skyblue light. Lower on the cu

pola, we could see a row of small windows like vort holes in a ship."

On the bottom of the object, he said, was what appeared to be "the propulsive force of the object . . a dark red throbbing light that was aimed toward the ground from a sort of turbine in the middle of the upsidedown plate. Near the turbine-like part, we could see protuberances like half-eggs."

The architect said only about 30 seconds elapsed from the time they spotted the object until it disappeared.

"But from the minute that I held in my hand the Polaroid photograph, I had proof that what my client and I saw was not an optical illusion," Hugo Luyo said.

"In the middle of the three-by-four-inch photograph, we could see the flying saucer, even the row of rounded windows," he said. "After this experience. I am convinced that flying saucers really exist. So is my client."
