Operação Prato, a Brazilian
Air Force investigation of a prolonged UFO flap in 1977-78, is one of the
most important episodes in the history of world ufology. Today, more than
a quarter of a century later, the classified files from the operation are
still off limits to the public, but many of the secrets are known to Brazilian
ufologists. Read on and you can learn what they know.
Operação Prato (“Operation
Plate” in English) was once again in the news on May
20, 2005 as a result of a year-long campaign by Brazilian ufologists
to get the Air Force to open its UFO files. In meetings on May 20 with ufologists
at military headquarters in Brasília, three top generals acknowledged that
the Air Force had long been concerned about UFOs and had systematically tracked
them – known as “H” traffic – since 1954.
Furthermore, according
to Brazilian ufology leader A. J. Gevaerd, who was one of those at the meetings,
the Air Force leaders said they (1) recognized the importance of ufology,
(2) pledged to help get classified files opened to the public, and (3) guaranteed
that steps would be taken to form a joint committee of military and civilian
UFO researchers to study the phenomenon.
This was a victory for
the “freedom of information” campaign that was started in April 2004by Gevaerd,
who is publisher of the Brazilian UFO magazine Revista
UFO. Eventually, 36,000 people are said to have signed petitions to the
government to get the files opened.
During meetings on May
20 with generals at two different agencies – the Integrated
Center for Aerial Defense and Air
traffic Control (CINDACTA) and the Brazilian Aerospace Defense Command (COMDABRA)
– Gevaerd and half a dozen other ufologists were allowed to examine a number
of UFO files from the Air Force archives. By far the most important were from
Operação Prato.
In the Prato
investigation between October 1977 and January 1978, intelligence agents from
the Air Force base in Belém in northern Brazil
interviewed hundreds of witnesses in Colares and about thirty other villages
north of Belém. Many of the people had been burned by rays of light from UFOs
that swarmed over the area.
During the operation the
agents themselves saw UFOs numerous times and took hundreds 
of
photographs (such as the one at left, taken at 3:25 AM on December 11, 1977;
the sketch below shows what was seen at the time) as well as several hours
of motion picture films. Some of the films reportedly showed UFOs diving into
or coming out of the waters of nearby Marajó
Bay. The investigation lasted only
four months but continued unofficially throughout much of 1978 because of
the personal interest of the leaders of the investigators.

four months but continued unofficially throughout much of 1978 because of
the personal interest of the leaders of the investigators.
During the Brasília meetings,
the ufologists were allowed to examine about 110 photos and 160 
documents
from Operation Prato. They were also permitted to examine files about an airliner-UFO
encounter in 1954, and the massive radar detection of UFOs over much of Brazil
on the night of May 19, 1986.

from Operation Prato. They were also permitted to examine files about an airliner-UFO
encounter in 1954, and the massive radar detection of UFOs over much of Brazil
on the night of May 19, 1986.
Although very promising,
the apparent harmony of May 20 does not mean the Air Force’s UFO files will
definitely be available to the public. Before that can come about, the chief
of the Air Force, the Defense Minister and Brazil’s
president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, must first give their approval.
This is not the first time
the Brazilian government has been open about UFOs. The most widely publicized
event occurred on the night of May
19, 1986, when twenty one UFOs were tracked on radar crisscrossing
the skies over much of the country. Six jet fighters armed with missiles were
scrambled from bases near Rio de Janeiro
and Brasília, and for several hours the jets chased or were chased by what
were described as balls of light.
Four days later, the government
held an unprecedented nationally televised press conference to let the pilots
tell the country what they'd seen when they went after the UFOs.
"I watched the lights
in front and on each side of my radar screen," said one pilot. "I
managed to close to within ten kilometers of one light, but from that moment
on I was unable to get closer."
Said
another: "I was warned by ground control there were several contacts
ahead of me approximately thirty kilometers away. I was also warned
that contacts were approaching from behind and they came on until they were
three kilometers behind me. I had to dive and as I did the contacts started
to climb."
Ground controllers told
still another pilot that thirteen UFOs were pursuing him, six on one side
of him and seven on the other.
The next day, Octávio Moreira
Lima, then the Air Force Minister, went on national TV and said: "Technically,
there is no explanation. We shall obtain the CINDACTA reports. We haven't
the slightest intention of hiding anything from the press."
Two days later, Lima
declared that nothing more would be said until a special investigation commission
had given its report, which he said was expected in "about two months."
That was in 1986 and since
then the government said nothing more about the incident until the May 20, 2005 meetings.
The1986 incident was not
the first time Air Force pilots were permitted to speak publicly about UFOs,
according to veteran Brazilian ufologist Alberto Francisco do
Carmo. 
In
November 1954, Colonel João Adil de Oliveira gave a public lecture about UFOs
before influential Brazilians and members of the press in Rio
de Janeiro. Following the lecture several pilots were
allowed to tell the audience about their attempts to intercept UFOs near an
air base in southern Brazil,
saying they chased disc-shaped UFOs but had no luck catching them.

Colonel Oliveira was personally
interested in UFOs and maintained a large collection of case files. He initiated
and directed the first Brazilian Air Force study of UFOs, but he died several
years later and the study was dropped.
Another study, also according
to Alberto do Carmo, was begun around 1966 after a series of UFO sightings
and encounters northwest of São Paulo.
This office was called SIOANI (Serviço de Informação de Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados)
and was headed by Major Gilberto Zani de Melo. He too took a serious interest in UFOs but the study
was shut down a few years later after he retired.
The most significant instance
in which the government showed such an overt interest in sightings
was
Operação Prato, when the Air Force investigated the Colares-area sightings
in 1977 and 1978, but the results were never made public.
was
Operação Prato, when the Air Force investigated the Colares-area sightings
in 1977 and 1978, but the results were never made public.
As stated earlier, Intelligence
agents spent four months investigating hundreds of sightings and encounters.
It was a small team consisting only of Captain Uyrangê Hollanda and six sergeants,
who were armed only with a theodlite, cameras and tape recorders.
The men were sent to the
Colares area only after several mayors complained that their villages had
come under attack by UFOs and appealed to the Air Force for help. Whether
the Air Force would have investigated the sightings if the mayors had not
pleaded for help is not known, and most of the key officers who could tell
us are now dead.
After four months, Brigadier
Protázio Lopes de Oliveira, the base commander in Belém, 
shut
down the investigation. Hollanda and his second in command, Sergeant Flávio
Costa, then compiled a final report consisting of about 500 pages of documents
plus several hundred photos and motion picture films of UFOs, and numerous
maps and sketches. Many of the sketches show the paths of several UFOs passing
over an area on the same night.

maps and sketches. Many of the sketches show the paths of several UFOs passing
over an area on the same night.
All of this was sent to
Air Force Headquarters in Brasília and none of the records were made public
until May 20, 2005, and then only to the handful
of ufologists who had been invited to meet with the military leaders.
However, over the years
photocopies of many of the Operação Prato documents and at least eighteen
photographs were leaked to civilian researchers. These documents contain summaries
of more than 300 sightings and encounters in Colares and the other villages.
At least half of the reports were about sightings that Captain Hollanda and
the sergeants themselves had.
In 1997, long after he
had retired as a lieutenant colonel, Hollanda decided he was no longer obligated
to remain silent about Operação Prato and publicly discussed Operação Prato.
He gave several interviews,
including one with fellow researcher Cynthia Luce and me. He told us “many
people” had been burned by UFOs during the UFO wave, both on the Colares
Island side of Marajó
Bay and on Marajó
Island. Of the dozens of documents
that were leaked, only a
few mention any burns or injuries, and there is no mention of anyone dying.
few mention any burns or injuries, and there is no mention of anyone dying.
Yet we know the team photographed
burn victims, although how many is not known. A doctor once told Belém researcher
Daniel Rebisso Giese that a colonel had shown him many photos of people who
had been burned. And in 1993, Daniel and I interviewed one victim, Manoel
Emídio Campo de Oliveira, who said investigators took photographs of a burn
on the top of his left thigh. Daniel, a biologist, has done more research
on the Colares flap than anyone else and has published a book about it, Vampiros
Extraterrestres na Amazônia.
Wellaide Carvalho, the
doctor in Colares at the time, told Daniel and me in 1993 that she had treated
about forty people who had been burned and that two of them died. She said
members of the Air Force team knew people had been burned.
Operation Prato
investigated only a small part of a widespread flap that began months 
earlier,
in April 1977, several hundred miles to the east in the neighboring state
of Maranhão. It then swept west over the Colares-Belém area and continued
far to the west toward Manaus
in the Amazon region for months after. However, the sightings and encounters
in the Colares area are perhaps the most significant ever. To my knowledge,
no other series of sightings in history ever received such scrutiny from authorities.

Island,
Hollanda and Colares.
Some of the sightings listed below are described in the Colares or Hollanda
pages.)

Hollanda was convinced
that the 1977-78 UFO wave covered an enormous area of northern Brazil.
When Cynthia Luce and I last talked to him in August 1997 (he died about two
months later), he said: “They (the UFOs) were moving from Maranhão to Colares,
Belém, Monte Alegre, Santarém and Manaus.
They were covering the Brazilian air space and the Amazon region in strips,
like we do in aerial photography.”
As for the Prato
documents that were leaked to ufologists, they were photocopied a 
number
of times and passed on to others. Today, every one of the 400 to 500 active
Brazilian ufologists probably has copies, and I was fortunate to obtain some
myself. Who leaked the originals is something most of us will probably never
know.
number
of times and passed on to others. Today, every one of the 400 to 500 active
Brazilian ufologists probably has copies, and I was fortunate to obtain some
myself. Who leaked the originals is something most of us will probably never
know.
Over the years I was given
three batches of documents (in 1991, 1997 and 1999). Altogether I have about
400 pages, including the eighteen photos of UFOs with identifying information
and sketches on the backs of the photos. Of this 400 or so, about half were
duplicates. Some of the photocopies are a bit faded and hard to read, and
no doubt are copies of copies of copies, etc.
The documents are not always
in chronological order, and sometimes a particular sighting will be described
again in other documents but in more or less detail. Captain Hollanda and
Sergeant 
Flávio,
who prepared the documents, are now dead and we may never know if they made
second or third sets, adding, deleting or correcting details. It is as if
they were not always satisfied with their reports and revised them without
destroying the originals ― all of which could have wound up in the Air
Force archives.

At the time of the flap
Hollanda was the chief financial officer for the Belém air base but under
cover was head of operations for A2, the intelligence branch. It was he who
selected the name Operação Prato. As he explained to Cynthia Luce and me in
1997:
“Why
the name Prato? Prato
in English is ‘plate.’ Brazil
is the only nation that calls flying saucers ‘discos voadores’. In Portugal,
they speak Portuguese too. They call it 'flying plate.' The Spanish say 'platillos
volantes.' The French call it flying saucer but
Brazil calls
it flying disk, disco voador. I had to choose a name. I could not call it
Operation Flying Saucer. I could not call it Operation Flying Disk. I chose
a cousin of a saucer, a plate. 
That's
why I called it Operação Prato.”
That's
why I called it Operação Prato.”
Although I do not speak
Portuguese, I gained a modest vocabulary in fourteen visits to Brazil
between 1978 and 2003, and several years ago I was able to translate most
of the documents that I have. Nearly all of them were coded as to the villages
and other locations of the sightings and especially the names of some witnesses
(F01 to F45). However, several other documents contained the keys to those
codes. For example, “F14” was Elísio de Souza Torres, 28, a farm worker.
I translated the documents,
hoping to one day write a book about the flap. I probably already have enough
material – I have been looking into this flap off and on since 1978 – but
much more research is needed, not only in the Colares area but far to the
east in the state of Maranhão and far to the west as well, all the way to
Manaus and beyond. Now, nearly thirty years after the flap, many of people
I would like to talk to are dead or difficult to locate. If the Air Force
does one day open its UFO files to the public, the files may help young Brazilian
ufologists to someday complete the job of telling the story of the flap.
As it is, I culled well
over 300 cases from the Operação Prato documents and organized them in chronological
order (by year, month, date and time of day), as you will see below. For example,
the report on a sighting that occurred at 1:30
a.m. on November 5, 1977
would start with “771105/01:30” and would be followed by the location of the
incident, name of the witness if given, and details of the sighting.
Translation notes:
1. The Brazilian “município”
can be translated as “county.” The village
of Colares is located on the island
(and in the município) of Colares.
2. Many people in the flap
area called the UFOs “Chupa” or “Chupa-Chupa” (from the verb chupar, meaning “to suck”) because
they believed blood was being sucked (chupada)
from them when they were hit by a beam of light from a UFO.
3. The reports on many
of the sightings freely mix “feet” and “meters” in estimating distances and
altitudes. Although Brazil
uses the metric system, the instruments in many of the aircraft then used
in the Brazilian Air Force gave readings in “feet”. Thus, the early training
of pilots and airmen included both measurement systems.
4. “PA-16” refers to the
state highway Pará 16.
5. Alfredo de La Õ, the
priest named in several sightings below, was an American and native of Texas.
He lived much of his life in Brazil
and died there some years after the flap.
6. Despite having access
to half a dozen dictionaries and grammar books, I was not able to translate
every word or didn’t understand what was said. Thus, I used ellipses to indicate
missing words or phrases …
7. Even though the first
agents did not arrive in Colares until mid-October 1977, the compilation below
starts with sightings that occurred in August and September that the investigators
learned about and documented.
8. Maps and other images are scattered throughout the file and may not be near the listings telling of those sigthings. That is because many of the images would be clumped together in one or two areas. So I spread them out to break up the long blocks of text.
Final Note: The dates of some images (maps, sketches, paths of UFOs) may refer to sightings not noted in the narrative because, as said before, the documents that we have are nowhere near the total number of documents sent to the Air Force archives.
As interesting as these
leaked documents are, I feel they are only a fraction of the Operação Prato
files, possibly a small fraction.
Some of the Operação
Prato Files
770821/21:30 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Nina Martins da Silva, 38, literate, domestic, resident Km. 19,
Highway PA-16, Município de Santo Antônio do Tauá – She says she was alone
in her house when she looked out the window and saw a light or object moving
at low height and speed from east to west, about 20 meters high, over the
trees next to the road. She didn’t hear any noise. The object was observed
for a short distance and appeared to her to be between 1.20 and 1.50 meters
in size. She said she had already seen other lights moving about in the sky.
She 
added
that the color was a bright
yellow that was almost red. Dona Nina, according to her neighbors,
has mental problems, probably epilepsy.

770902/22:00 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Amelia Martins da Silva, 77, literate, domestic, resident Km. 19,
Highway PA-16, Município de Santo Antônio do Tauá – Walking from Santo Antônio
do Tauá to her home with one of her daughters Odete;
when 2 kilometers from the village she saw coming from the right a reddish-yellow light, very bright
(like the headlight on a car). Initially the light was cutting diagonally
across the road; it abruptly changed direction (45 degrees) coming exactly
in the direction of her and her daughter, rapidly crossing to… their left
(? faint copy); they sought shelter under a tree… (faint
copy)… the object stopped for several minutes, then slowly moved …and returned
to its original direction (E/SW) and headed toward Vigia/Belém. Dona Amelia
suffered no physical effects nor fear and thought
the object was very beautiful and she was pleased to see such a new thing.
The altitude was about 30 meters. DESCRIPTION OF OBJECT: Size about 1.30 meters
(compared to a table in her home), one meter high, round
like an inverted plate with a sharp protuberance sticking out from which
came a reddish
luminescence, being in turn the color blue from which came bright light giving the
impression of being transparent. She did not see any human forms inside the
object. Its movement was slow, but
at times it accelerated with the speed of a jet plane. Dona Amelia was
lucid and very sure of what she saw. (Odete Martins
da Silva, 35 – Being by temperament very timid, she agreed with the accuracy
of the report of her mother, confirming the facts. She had nothing to add.)
770910/19:30 – Santo Antônio
do Ubintuba - Rio Bituba, side road at Km 32, PA-16
– Beatriz Almada da Costa, 32, literate, domestic,
resident of Vila Nova do Ubintuba-Vigia – She was in her house with her children
when she saw a ray of reddish light penetrating the roof (very faint copy)… spreads through her body with
chills, and in the beginning feeling partly paralyzed and shaking. With great
difficulty she screamed for help from her sister who lives nearby. Her sister
soon arrived but saw and heard nothing. Dona Beatriz then had pain in her
shoulder blades but had no other symptoms. No electricity in locality. NOTE:
A ray of light chased Dona Beatriz, who said she had the same
symptoms three times before, on 770911/03:30, 771013/23:30 and 771020/21:30.
770911/03:30 – Santo Antônio
do Ubintuba - Rio Bituba, side road at Km 32, PA-16
– Beatriz Almada da Costa, 32 – Reddish lights in interior of house
causing fear and anxiety. No electricity in locality.
770914/21:30 – Santo Antônio
do Ubintuba - Rio Bituba, side road at Km 32, PA-16
– Abel Soares Trindade,
28 – He was in his home listening to the radio when he saw a bluish light coming through the roof tiles; he
felt semi-paralyzed, feeling as if his head was expanding; he screamed loudly
for help, then couldn’t say anything (as if his throat was blocked). After
the incident passed, he had a headache and hoarseness for several days.
770922/21:30 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Raimundo Francisco das Chagas,
36 – Was returning from Santo Antônio do Tauá to his home (side road at Km.
12 PA-16) about 6 kilometers from the highway. Walking on foot, smoking absentmindedly
when he saw a very bright yellowish light coming down in his
direction (about like a car’s headlight). He ran, leaving the path and hid
in the bushes. Chased by the light,
he came to a grove of palm trees, where he hid and stayed immobile. The “apparatus” was searching for him,
emitting rays of
blue light in various directions… He did not see the shape of the
object because he was too frightened. He did not hear any noise from the object
as it moved; he heard a hissing sound that reminded him of an irrigation pump
on a nearby farm. The object moved lower in the direction of the village (NW),
initially proceeding from east to west. He lost everything he had been carrying
home. He felt a slight 
numbness
that lasted for several days.
numbness
that lasted for several days.
771010/02:00 – Colares
– Orlando Fontenelle Trindade, 40 literate…
resident of Colares – Bright blue light over the water at a height of
1.50 to 2.00 meters, like a traffic light on a small mast. Light was seen
until 05:30, when it went toward
the sea.
771011/03:30 – Santo Antônio
do Ubintuba - Rio Bituba, side road at Km 32, PA-16
– Miguel Arcângelo Soares,
32, literate, farm worker – He lives in the locality known as Vila Nova do
Ubintuba and was getting ready to go to the village of Vigia when he heard
his neighbors shouting "There it goes! There it goes!" He left his
house using the back door in time to see a reddish-yellow light moving slowly about 60
meters high, going SE/NW (Santo Antônio do Ubintuba), emitting a ray of blue light; frightened, he
yelled to his wife to stay in the house… he went back inside the house and
felt as if he had had an electric shock from
a ray of light… like a charge of static electricity… He felt partially
paralyzed, a numbness which spread from his feet to his head, accompanied
by chills and growing heat for some minutes. He was hoarse and felt a pain
in the back of his neck.
771012/02:00 – Campo Cerrado, Santo Antônio do Tauá – Manoel Matos de Souza (“Coronha”),
38, literate, farm worker, resident of Colónia Campo
Cerrado, side road at Km. 23 PA-16 – Light hovering
about 20 meters above the ground over the trees, blue with three vertical black stripes
in the center, round (like a farinha oven), lighting up everything around
it. Witness pointed his gun at it and
was hit by a ray of red light, which felt like electricity,
paralyzing him…
771012/23:30 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Manoel do Espirito Santo, 20, high school
student , resident of Santo Antônio do Tauá (town) – Was in front of his house
with some friends, Júlio, Paulo, Deca and Carlito)
when he saw a
yellow light moving E/W, slowing in speed and stopping about 20
meters from the group. He said he could
see two crew members inside who appeared to be human, one man and a woman;
the “man” was on the left side and the woman on the right side of the “apparatus”;
both wore glasses (different shape) and communication gear (earphones)…the
one on the left (?)… more attentively to the group
of people. At the same time the other, behind a horizontal tube (?) …directed
a ray of red light toward the group; having been hit directly,
it felt like an electric shock, from the feet to the head; then felt paralyzed
(arms and legs immobilized) and semi-conscious. The object gradually began
to move away, gaining altitude and speed. Manoel was able to move again, feeling
numb for some minutes. DESCRIPTION OF OBJECT: From a distance it seemed like
a reddish-yellow
star; it turned more yellow as it came closer. He observed a bluish light
in the front top part. It had the shape
of a barrel with a thin tube
(reddish)…
and another, more slender, horizontal (45 degrees) one which emitted the
ray of blue
light. The apparent size was 1.20 to 1.40 meters and gave the appearance
of being transparent (in the bluish part) with a division between the two
crew members. The movement: It climbed
straight up in a wavy motion (like a leaf in the wind) until it reached
a certain altitude, abruptly varying its speed (impulses)… (rest too faint to read).
771012/23:30 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Manoel dos Santos, 40, literate, farm worker, resident of Santo
Antônio do Tauá (town) – Was sleeping in his home with his children with the
lights (oil lamp) out when the inside of his house was lit up by a light coming through the roof. He tried to get up but wasn’t able
to, feeling paralyzed. He tried to scream but wasn’t able to immediately.
After some minutes he was able to stand up and listened to hear if his neighbors
were calling for help. Manoel spent eight days with the left side of his body
numb and sore. He says he still sees lights at low altitude in front of his
home that are silent, different from planes; the lights always seem to come
from the direction of sunrise (east), their speed varying, arriving at times
to stop and suddenly speed up and disappear.
771013/03:25 – Colares
– Alfredo de La Õ, 48 (priest) – Reddish light moving 20 meters above the bay N/S emitting a strong light that reflected on
the water, moving at great speed faster than a jet plane, about 50 centimeters
in diameter, to 75 meters from the witness (a priest)…
771013/03:25 – Colares
– Alfredo de La Õ, 47, priest, resident Santa Rosa da Vigia – After being
awakened by insistent barking of dogs in nearby houses, he saw an object that
caught his attention by emitting a
bright light, moving through the sky… It was a reddish light 20 meters above the bay N/S emitting a strong light that reflected on
the water, moving at great speed faster than a jet plane… (very faint copy)… He heard no sound coming from the object.
Father Alfredo was about 75 meters from the closest point in the trajectory
of the object. He estimated the size at about 50 centimeters (compared to
the top of a barrel). He said the top part of the object emitted a strong red light, and the bottom
part a very
bright blue, lighting up
everything around wherever it passed. Note: The electricity in the town
had been shut off at 22:00.
771013/23:30 – Santo Antônio
do Tauá – Alzira Farias de Campos, 55, literate,
Km. 12 PA-16, Município of Santo Antônio do Tauá – Dona Alzira was going into the backyard of her home… and saw a huge light high over a mangrove tree
(20 meters), frightening her and she ran inside her house, being hit on the left leg by a ray of reddish light, falling over a stool in the
kitchen. She felt a growing numbness and a chill traveling up her body from
her feet to her head. She was helped by her daughter. Later she suffered from
a headache, shaking and lethargy for eight days.
771014/03:00 – São Braz
- Santo Antônio do Tauá – Benedito Ferreira de Figueiredo,
48, literate, farm worker, resident of São Braz
- Santo Antônio do Tauá – Intense blue light hovering at low altitude (30
meters) over top of a tree. Witness could not see shape or size, seeing it
stopped 30 meters away for some seconds, then
moving SE/NW slowly like a leaf (undulating), then gaining altitude. He
heard no noise. Witness was badly frightened for some minutes but had no other
effects.
771014/03:00 – São Braz
- Santo Antônio do Tauá – Elísio de Souza Torres, 28, literate, farm worker,
resident of São Braz - Santo Antônio do Tauá
– Bright blue light
the color of a soldering torch moving slowly above trees (30 meters) about
40 meters away, moving E/W. Could not distinguish shape or size.
771015/04:00 – Colares

one of his shoes… but continued walking… looked back over his shoulder and
saw a circular
reddish-yellow shape with multi-colored tail 30 to 40 meters away … about 1.50
meters in size moving five to ten meters above the ground and emitting
a ray of bright
blue light that hit witness in the back. No noise. Very frightened,
he gathered his strength to run to the home of his friend, screaming for help.
In a hurry to see behind him…the object had stopped just over the trees, leaving
behind a trail of sparkling flashes of different colors. He complained
his body was shaking, he had a headache and felt numbness and partial paralysis
and other physical effects for several days. No burns or other symptoms were

shape (upper part more narrow) having an apparent
size at that distance of 3 meters in width and 2 in diameter. It moved in an irregular manner (vertical
position on its longitudinal axis), accentuated wavy or rocking motion, all the time making swift stops and turning at the same time.
She says she observed closely, being on one occasion 
accompanied
by other people in front of the local state hospital. She was interviewed
by elements of Equipe (team); others affirmed what
she said. Staking her ethical and professional reputation, she… made a more
complete communication with reference to people who said they had been attacked by rays of light from
unknown source (four cases were attended). She said, besides “crise nervosa,” her patients had other symptoms… (Partial
paralysis of the body) evidencing a different … clinical picture when having
a crise nervosa where the areas of attack were the extremities.
Her patients reported headaches, debility, dizziness, generalized tremors…
and, more important, first-degree burns
marked by tiny perforations. According to the sex, the
males on the neck (jugular) and the women on the chest (only one case).
I asked for her personal opinion (why these things were happening), she said
she believes the things that have been occurring in the region….

with a reddish dome on top… giving the impression it was transparent;
at a distance of 70 meters it appeared to be about three meters in diameter
and two meters high (base to top of dome). In
the bottom a porthole opened and a humanoid-shaped being got out, short
but muscular, wearing a tight, dark seamless uniform (light was behind him);
it was floating; a reddish beam of light came out of
his hand and went straight toward the witness, who ran away. As the witness
was running, he saw the being examine his fishing net. Then the humanoid returned
to the object, which then moved toward the witness at low altitude with a searchlight seeking the witness.
The witness ran away across the mud flats and later arrived at a place where
his friends were waiting in a boat. As he was telling them about the incident,
the object appeared again with a different color, reddish on top and blue-green
below. They all fled the place. The

top giving the impression of being transparent, being sufficiently lighted
on the bottom part which reflected greenish-blue light. Calculated
the apparent size to be 2 to 3 meters in diameter and about 1.5 meters high
