The Encounter
The experiencer is Mr. Wus, a former combat pilot in the Peruvian Air Force. He recounts an encounter on April 11, 1980, while on duty at La Hoya Air Base in Peru. He was ordered to intercept a UFO that appeared as a globe-like object. Despite firing missiles at the object, it showed no damage and performed evasive maneuvers. The object ascended rapidly and avoided confrontation. After 22 minutes of pursuit, the experiencer returned to base due to low fuel. He described the object as 10 meters in diameter with a cream-colored dome and a metallic base. The encounter led him to believe in extraterrestrial technology and life. He reported the sighting, which was officially accepted, and he continued his military career without repercussions.

Intercept and investigate unidentified flying objects
On April 11, 1980, I attempted to intercept a UFO while piloting a Su-22 aircraft near La Hoya Air Base in Peru.
The UFO I encountered was approximately 10 meters in diameter, with a non-metallic cream-colored dome and a wide silver circular base.
I fired a barrage of 30mm shells at the UFO, but it showed no damage and evaded my attacks.
The Peruvian Air Force officially accepted the sighting and I faced no repercussions for reporting it.
The media was instructed to remain silent about the incident due to sensitive military operations at the base.
