The Official UFO Night in Brazil, Military airplanes chased UFOs

Official UFOs night in brazil

May 19 and 20, 1986, became the Official UFO Night in Brazil. The southeastern Brazilian air space accounted for 21 UFOs, literally Unidentified Flying Objects, some of the large scales.

This strategic region is home to the larger Metropolitan population, the heart of Brazilian industry, politics, economy, and the most massive air traffic in the southern hemisphere.

The Facts from the UFOs Official Night in Brazil

On May 19, at 7:30 pm, the sky was clear over the area that covered Brazil and part of South America when UFOs were sighted close to the airport of São José dos Campos, Sao Paulo (SJK).

Around 8 pm, the radars from Sao Paulo and Brasilia (the capital of Brazil and 660 miles from Sao Paulo) confirmed the presence of 8 unidentified objects over the town.

At 9 pm, an executive Xingu jet, with the president of the state-owned oil company Petrobrás, Colonel Ozires Silva, received the request to observe some targets identified in the radar from Brasilia.

The pilot, co-pilot, and Colonel Silva watched a bright orange light. The co-pilot, Alcir Pereira da Silva, described it as an intense star flying at a speed and disappearing, but it also was detected by the onboard airplane radar.

Jet chase over Brazil

At 10:23 pm from Santa Cruz Air Base, in Rio de Janeiro, a Northrop F-5 with LT Kleber Caldas Marinho flew in course to Sao Jose dos Campos, where a large object was spotted surrounded by smaller ones. Anapolis, Goias, radar (620 miles from Sao Paulo) detected the UFOs and released two air force Dassault Mirage III with Captain Armindo Souza Viriato and Captain Freitas to intercept the objects.

At 11:15 pm (52 minutes after take-off), LT Kleber starts pursuing the light balls. LT Kleber informed us he had a visual contact; also, the onboard radar spotted the Object 12 miles before his airplane, confirmed by the radar on the ground. The color was white, moving from left to right and then up. The color was later changed to green, red, and blue.

The UFO was 3,500 feet with a speed of over 620 m/h. LT said he had some malfunction of his instruments and followed the Object until 200 miles over the Atlantic Ocean without being able to identify or get closer to it.

The UFO was 3,500 feet with a speed of over 620 m/h. LT said he had some malfunction of his instruments and followed the Object until 200 miles over the Atlantic Ocean without being able to identify or get closer to it.

Captain Viriato flying at 838 m/h, got 6 miles close to one Object, following on radar, and with visual contact, this UFO was flying from left to right until it disappeared.

Also, the Captain witnesses another object accelerate to an unbelievable speed to disappear. His onboard instruments verified that this UFO was flying at Mach 15 (15x the sound speed).

At 11:17 pm, it’s time for Captain Marcio Brisola Jordao to take off in an F-5 and Captain Rosenberg at 11:36 pm in a Mirage.

Captain Jordao informed over ten were detected on his radar scope around 20 miles when he was getting close to Sao Jose dos Campos, but he couldn’t see them.

The radar on the ground informed him also about their presence, and suddenly, they detected 13 UFOs 2 miles behind him, 6 to his right and 7 to his left.

The Captain tried a defensive maneuver, looping to be behind the Object, but they also followed the same trajectory.

At 1:45 am on May 20, 1986, the pilots were called back after the UFOs had disappeared.

Now It’s Official

In the morning hours and the following days, a press conference was called by the Minister of Aeronautics, to May 23, with the presence of the pilots and some of the air controllers.

Minister Moreira Lima started the press conference by stating the sky was clear that night and avoided any possibility of a hacker attack or equipment malfunctions.

He also stated that at 8 pm on May 19 and 1 am on May 20, at most 20 UFOs were detected by radars, overloading and putting the southeast air traffic on lockdown; around 50 radars of the country, on the ground and in traffic were spotted the UFOS.

Also was stated that at times the pilots did not have visual contact with the objects, but the radar did, and moments later, the optical connection was affected, but the radar was clear.

The UFOs alternated speeds and directions strangely to any known craft, stopping and suddenly returning to impressive rates around 3600 km/h, maneuvering in sharp 90 degrees turn.

Eight UFOs were stationary over the Sao Jose dos Campos Airport for 2 hours.

The witness also noticed that neither one of the objects left a tray nor sound, especially when breaking the sound barrier, but also never presented any side of hostility.

The president of Brazil, Jose Sarney, was waking up and alerted about the situation.

UFO researchers also found out the USA Embassy was informed. One of its higher-ranked officers presented a report stating, “leads one to believe that something arrived over Brazil the night of May 19.”

Major Air Brigade Sócrates Monteiro added this kind of speed, hypersonic Mach 15 (11,400 mph), which was reported before to FAB (Brazilian Air Force), and this event was recorded by video. Still, the images were not made public yet.

Moreira concluded that it was tough for the FAB to speak about the possibility of the presence of an extraterrestrial origin for the UFO, and an investigation was starting.

Brazilian Disclosure of secret files on UFOs

The coverage from the press was extensive in the following years, pressing the Air Force to release their findings of what became the UFO’s Official Night in Brazil.

Finally, in 2005 the Brazilian Air Force started disclosing some secret files as the first FAB investigation in 1954 and 179 pages about Operation Prato (Saucer).

Dated from July 2, 1986, and signed by Brigadier José Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, it described in detail the facts from that night and stated in it.

“As a conclusion of the constant facts observed, in almost all presentations, this Command is of the opinion that the phenomena are solid and reflect somehow intelligence, the ability to track and maintain distance of the observers as well as fly in formation, not necessarily manned”.

Debunking the Official UFO Night in Brazil

The UFO community, militaries, the press, and skeptics presented many hypotheses to debunk the case.

  • Space Debris:
    “It could have been space debris, but it wasn’t only that. A metallic box with space debris can be
    detected by radar, but it will always fall in the same direction and at a constant velocity. That was not
    the case of what was seen in Brazil, where the objects detected by radar had speeds that varied
    from very slow to extremely high.” – Brigadier José Cavalcanti from Brazil’s Air Defense Command
  • Optical Effects or Thermal Effects
    Radars cannot detect this kind of phenomenon. Also, we are talking about highly trained militaries.
  • Spy Aircraft
    Until this date, no known aircraft has the power to reach the level of speed and maneuvers presented on the night of May 19-20, 1986.
  • Meteors that follow the trajectory from comet Halley
    Again “(…) it will always fall in the same direction and at constant velocity (…)”, and the testimony from the pilot that the UFOs did leave no trace or trail.
  • Star or Planets
    The first pilot to spot the UFO compared it more than once to them “(…) it is brighter and much lower. It is like an airplane headlight but much more brilliant and has no traffic light and changes colors, beautiful red, blue, orange, yellow, unique (…)

So what? Thirty years and no conclusion, any idea? What do you think?
