*1 A straight edge is a type of ruler or gauge that engineers use. When placed on the surface of the wall it showed that it was completely flat since no light came through the straight edge.

*2 Because the records are ambiguous, the exact date of the sighting is unknown. There was no investigation of this incident after it happened. It was forgotten for decades, so it is difficult to reconstruct.

*3 (not shown) The image is from the Peruvian military archives.
