The Adhara Observatory UFO Lunar Transit was a UFO-sighting, which occurred on December 1, 1965 near Buenos Aires, Argentina. The most remarkable aspect of this sighting is that it was viewed through the telescope of a professional observatory, and that the UFO was photographed in transit. The Adhara Observatory UFO Lunar Transit took place on December 1, 1965 at 8.30 PM. Adhara Observatory received numerous telephone calls from people, who claimed that there was something strange on the moon.
