Two-triangle shaped craft seen at night
It was a summer night, was going back to Montevideo with my parents from holidays in Piriapolis. I was on the backseat of our car. When we were around Santa Lucia del Este, I saw a strange object in the sky towards the south-south west above the horizon. It was composed of two white isosceles triangles, united on their vertex angle by a small white dot. This dot was smaller than a star. I asked my parents what was that thing and they were amazed by it. This object gained altitude in the sky, when we stopped our car in the side of the road (this was right before the bridge that passes over La Tuna creek) it was close to the zenith. My father and I stopped looking at this for a second, but my mother was able to see that it did a very fast movement before disappearing. I am unable to provide an approximate altitude from ground, no sound was emitted. Nobody else seemed to have seen this though there were many cars in the route. Cameras were not common back then, let alone smartphones, so there is no photo register.
It could be easily seen, it was not a small UFO, the triangles were bigger than the moon to take as reference.
The date is approximate.
