Buenos Aires discs and the Meteor scramble
Two bright discs reportedly hung over Buenos Aires for ten minutes; the air force sent three Gloster Meteor jets from Morón, which found nothing.

The account
On 16 July 1965 so many reports reached the authorities of two stationary luminous discs that the Seventh Air Brigade scrambled three Gloster Meteors to look. They returned without contact. The episode was one of several in a busy Argentine year that also saw sightings at naval bases in Antarctica.
The sceptical view
Without photographs or radar data, bright planets, balloons or aircraft lights cannot be ruled out.
