The article says:
The agreement envisages technology exchange and the installation of direct observation stations.
The Uruguayan Air Force has signed a preliminary agreement with the United States All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to collaborate in the analysis of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
The agreement, effective since 2023, was reached between the Commission for the Reception and Investigation of Reports of Unidentified Flying Objects and the US agency.
The agreement will allow for the exchange of software and hardware for the analysis of these phenomena and the possibility of establishing direct observation stations.
In Uruguay, more than 1,000 cases of unidentified flying object sightings have been detected, of which about 40 still have no explanation.
The news was announced this Sunday, while at the same time the world watched with curiosity and amazement as former US President Barack Obama claimed that extraterrestrial beings exist.

>*Colonel Ariel Sánchez explained on Wednesday, February 11, on Cadena del Mar that CRIDOVNI will celebrate its 47th anniversary in August and operates with a multidisciplinary team of officers and honorary civilians.*
>*“We receive reports via email and the Air Force switchboard; we immediately contact witnesses to assess the situation and graphic evidence,” explained the official when asked about the work they do.*
>*Regarding the casuistry of FANI sightings (formerly UFOs), the expert noted: “The percentage of cases with a high level of strangeness that we classify as unconventional is 3% to 4%, which is the standard internationally.”*
>*He added: “Uruguay has between 35 and 40 cases that have not been resolved because they present flight characteristics that exceed the technology we know today.”*
>*Each case is approached using a strict methodology to rule out mundane explanations before considering the extraordinary: “When we begin an investigation, we consider five possibilities: witness fraud, third-party fraud, conventional phenomenon, psychological illusion, or unconventional phenomenon,” said Sánchez.*
>*The process includes everything from analyzing the witness’s cultural and psychological profile to comparing it with aerospace, meteorological, and astronomical data: “We compile data on air traffic, space launches, falling space debris, satellite passages, and popular events to create a composite picture of the location,” he said.*
>*The colonel warned of an increase in reports during the summer season because people spend more time outdoors observing the sky. However, he urged caution in the face of sensationalism on social media.*
>*The official noted that CRIDOVNI has data exchange agreements with Chile, Argentina, and Peru, and is currently negotiating an agreement with the Pentagon’s AARO office in the United States.*
>*During the talk, the military officer humorously recalled that investigations sometimes reveal illegal activities rather than extraterrestrials: “My first investigation as a lieutenant was the ‘9 o’clock UFO’ that landed in Dolores; it turned out to be a smuggler’s plane carrying whiskey and cigarettes.”*
>*Ariel Sánchez commented that the commission does not have its own budget and is supported by the Uruguayan Air Force, reaffirming that the primary objective is aviation safety and control of national airspace.*
