Generalidades (Generalities)

The New Directorate

The bulletin commemorates SBEDV's 10 years of existence. A new directorate for the 1967-1968 biennium is announced, with Dr. Walter K. Bühler as President and Orlando Teixeira Fernandes as 1st Vice-President. Other key positions include secretaries, treasurers, and fiscal advisors. The new directorate aims to dynamize SBEDV's activities due to the increase in UFO news. Efforts are underway to update member records, with circulars 1/67 and 2/67 being sent out to gather information and establish a network of informants. The directorate also plans public meetings and lectures to promote SBEDV and increase its membership. All correspondence should now be directed to SBEDV's new address: Caixa Postal nº 17-01, Correio do Largo do Machado, Rio de Janeiro (GB), Brazil.

Twenty Years of Flying Saucers, 10 years of SBEDV

This section provides a brief overview of the UFO phenomenon for new readers. The term 'Flying Saucer' was first used by Kenneth Arnold in the United States 20 years prior, describing the trajectory of large, metallic, disc-shaped objects he observed near Mount Rainier, which moved at speeds far exceeding contemporary aircraft. Arnold's description compared their undulating movement to skipping stones on water. A similar object was later sighted on Trindade Island during the International Geophysical Year. Photographer Almiro Baraúna managed to capture four poses of a disc in flight on Trindade Island. The article notes that these flying objects influenced the electro-magnetic mechanisms of the training ship Almirante Saldanha da Gama, which was also in the area for the International Geophysical Year. Newspapers at the time suggested these were extraterrestrial objects, as they were not identified as belonging to any government and demonstrated technology far beyond 1947 capabilities. Reports of landings with or without occupants also emerged, with some beings reportedly fleeing from or attempting to communicate with terrestrial inhabitants. While official circles denied these events, researchers concluded that humanity had been sporadically visited by inhabitants from space long before Arnold's experience.

The article highlights that despite increasing UFO sightings and public demonstrations of superior technology, such as power outages in New York, researchers generally believe these approaches are peaceful, contrasting with humanity's tendency towards egoism and economic conquest. The author suggests that religious and political creeds have not influenced this human motivation, citing historical examples of conquest and colonialism. Governments, feeling powerless against the 'super-strong space,' are accused of politically 'killing' the phenomenon on Earth by disseminating false information and silencing witnesses. The article mentions Dr. João de Freitas Guimarães and George Adamski as 'contact witnesses.' It also refers to alleged friendly landings of UFOs in 1954 at Muroc (Edwards) and Hamilton air bases in the United States. French ufologist Aimé Michel is mentioned for his belief in a secret society of scientist-researchers on UFOs.

The author reflects on the distortion of truth for economic or political gain, contrasting it with the scientific integrity of astronomers like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler, who upheld truth despite facing official opposition. The article then recounts the founding of SBEDV, which began with a round table discussion on August 27, 1957. The society faced initial hostility from certain groups, but its leadership, particularly under President Paulo Manzo, managed to navigate these challenges. The text mentions a lecture in Lorena where a monk confided having observed enigmatic DVs while contemplating the sky.

The third president, Lullo Duncan de Lima Rodrigues, formulated the SBEDV Decalogue, emphasizing that directors should not seek material gain from UFO phenomena and that the society is interested in and will assist those who have contact with DVs. The SBEDV bulletin, now in its 34th issue, is presented as proof of fertile research in Brazil and South America regarding UFO occupants and contacts. It notes that SBEDV is often honorably cited in foreign bulletins.

Pesquisas Sobre Tripulantes de DV (Research on UFO Occupants)

Case 3: Tripulantes de DV, perto de Santana dos Montes (Conselheiro Lafayette, Minas Gerais), vistos pelo Sr. Maurício.

This case details an event on January 12, 1953, at 1:00 PM, reported by Maurício Ramos Bessa. While returning from a shopping trip, Maurício saw a luminous object, described as smaller than a Volks car, metallic, and hovering about 1.30 meters above the ground. It had a flattened underside and an ovalized top. As he approached, a square opening appeared, and two beings emerged. These beings wore dark, metallic-looking suits and had bright balls on their feet. Maurício experienced a headache and observed one of the beings use a tool that changed shape. The beings retreated into the object, which then moved downwards slightly before ascending rapidly. Maurício noted the beings' movements were quicker than humans and that they seemed superior. He did not see the door close but observed them enter. He also noticed a hole in the ground, 5 cm deep with a 3 cm circular opening, but no footprints.

Case 4: Pormenores na pesquisa a respeito de tripulantes vistos no Perú (Details on research regarding occupants sighted in Peru)

This section, translated from Spanish by Jose Renato de Souza, details observations from the Peruvian Institute of Interplanetary Relations (IPRI) regarding 100 cases in 1965, with 9 involving occupants. Two of these cases involved cyclops (single-eyed) beings.

Lima Case (1965): On August 19, a young man named Alberto San Román reported a Flying Saucer landing on his terrace. He described encountering a green-skinned, wrinkled dwarf-like being, about 90 cm tall, with slanted eyes, an oblong head, and pointed ears. The being walked with a duck-like gait and approached him. San Román observed the being's legs were very crooked and its arms reached its legs. The being made friendly gestures. Its skin was rough and emitted a certain glow. When San Román did not respond, the being quickly retreated, entered a round object that emitted purple light, and ascended rapidly. Investigations by Eng. Maniero found four footprints forming a square with 90 cm sides, each footprint measuring 25 cm in diameter, with no signs of nuclear contamination.

Barranco Case (1965): On August 15, Srta. Hilda Santa Cruz and her family reported seeing a luminous sphere descending on August 13 at 9:30 PM. The sphere emitted lights in violet, yellow, and purple hues and landed a few meters from their house. Frightened, the family closed the doors and windows. Through a slightly open window, they saw a small, extraterrestrial being emerge from the craft and approach their house, knocking on the door. The being was described as a small stature, with a green color, wrinkled skin, slanted eyes, and pointed ears. It walked like a duck. The being retreated to its craft, which ascended vertically and then rapidly towards the south. The entire neighborhood witnessed the event, and a commission was sent to investigate. Srta. Santa Cruz assured that it was not a hallucination, and others confirmed the panic and fear, believing it to be an invasion by Martians.

Callao Case (1965): On August 25, a commission from the SBEDV investigated a report of an ovoid object landing on the roof of Colegio Santa Leonor. The object caused a strong noise and tremor, leading to the evacuation of students and staff. Witnesses described a spaceship, shaped like a saucer with a pointed top, emitting purple lights. The object ascended, evolving in circles and emitting a strong sound before disappearing northwest. The object was observed by over 300 students at an altitude of 20 meters, described as purple, emitting fire from its underside, and having two antennas on top.

Case 5: "Os Dois homenzinhos de Garanhuns - Pernambuco" (The Two Little Men of Garanhuns - Pernambuco)

This section summarizes a report from SBEDV's exchange bulletin, translated from English. It recounts a story by Antonio Pau Ferro da Silva, who claimed to have encountered two 'little men' about 300 meters away. He stated that these beings were very educated and did not mock him.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, encounters with alleged extraterrestrial occupants, and the investigation of these phenomena by organizations like SBEDV and IPRI. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFOs, challenging official denials and encouraging open investigation. There is a clear emphasis on witness testimony and the collection of data, as evidenced by the detailed case reports and the mention of statistical analysis. The bulletin also touches upon broader philosophical and societal implications of UFOs, including the potential for interplanetary exchange and the role of governments in managing information about these phenomena. The society's commitment to truth and scientific integrity is also a notable underlying theme.

Title: CIPEX e GENA

Key Articles and Reports

Case of Antonio in Garanhuns, Pernambuco (September 10, 1965)

The issue begins with a detailed account from Garanhuns, Pernambuco, where a man named Antonio reported an encounter with two metallic discs. According to the report, the discs, described as "like aluminum," landed simultaneously near Antonio. Two small humanoid beings, approximately 70-80 cm tall, emerged from the discs. Antonio, initially terrified, described the beings as having burnt skin and unusual features. They interacted with tomatoes in a field before re-entering the discs and departing. The report also mentions that doctors, reporters, and representatives from the Armed Forces, along with two tall, blond Americans, were present to hear Antonio's account. His physical and mental state was described as strong and energetic, and he spoke only of what he had witnessed.

Witness Accounts from Eunice de Mendonça and Ivanilda Francisca da Silva

In a related account, Eunice de Mendonça and Ivanilda Francisca da Silva, from the home of Sr. Olegario (located about 3 km from Antonio's house), reported hearing a strange, unidentifiable noise around the same time as Antonio's encounter.

"Tripulantes de DV, com um ôlho somente (ciclops)" by Dr. Alfons Sankott

This article delves into the speculative topic of one-eyed UFO crew members, drawing parallels to Greek mythology and examining biological precedents. It discusses the parietal eye in reptiles and the larval stage of crustaceans having a single median eye. The author also touches upon the concept of cyclopia in humans and speculates on whether one-eyed beings could be a result of extraterrestrial genetics or advanced technology, or even a misinterpretation of specialized visors.

UFO Sightings in Itaguaí, Brazil (March 26, 1967)

A report from CICOANI (Belo Horizonte) details a hexagonal object, approximately 10 meters in diameter, observed near Itaguaí. The object had a luminous central part and dark upper and lower sections. It appeared to fly in a spiral curve about 15 meters above the ground. When the car's headlights were turned off, the object's light also extinguished, but it remained visible due to the full moon. The object's movement suggested intelligent control.

UFO Sighting at Pedra da Gávea, Brazil (April 15, 1967)

This section recounts an observation of a UFO at Pedra da Gávea, reported by doctors from the "Lourenço Jorge" Hospital. The object appeared as a bright, star-like light, moving towards Jacarepaguá. It later changed color, becoming red and blinking like an aircraft signal. The object's movements were observed for about 10 minutes. It reappeared later that night, also displaying blinking white light.

UFO Sightings in Piedade and Bocaiúva (GB) (1967)

Reports from Sr. Milke mention two possible UFO observations. On March 20, 1967, a bluish light, larger than a star, was seen in the direction of Bocaiúva. It had an oval shape and emitted a red ray downwards before descending. On May 20, 1967, a light of orange color was seen descending behind a hill in Piedade. Later that night, a stationary object was observed in Piedade, changing colors between yellow, green, and red, suggesting rotation, before descending south.

UFO Sighting in Barra do Piraí, RJ (April 15, 1967)

A report from the "Jornal da Cidade" mentions five people witnessing a luminous and silent UFO over the "Oficinas Velhas" neighborhood in Barra do Piraí.

UFO Interference with Electricity in Sarandí, Rio Grande do Sul (August 1965)

This significant report details an incident in Sarandí where a UFO, described as a yellow-orange, opaque globe, caused the city's lights to go out completely on two separate occasions. The UFO was observed performing evolutions over the city before disappearing. The local power company (CEEE) confirmed the event but could not provide a technical explanation, calling it a "true mystery."

UFO Observation over Sarandí, Rio Grande do Sul (September 1965)

Jorge Geisel and his wife observed a luminous, orange UFO hovering about 2 meters above a pond near their farm. The object oscillated and seemed to be controlled by intelligence. Geisel attempted to signal the UFO with his flashlight, and the object responded by intermittently extinguishing its light before disappearing.

UFO Visit to Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul (1965)

News from SBEDV colleagues and a clipping from "Jornal do Povo" describe a UFO landing near Cachoeira do Sul. The object, shaped like two inverted red plates with a 50-meter diameter, landed briefly, causing a noticeable vibration, and then ascended, projecting a bright light.

UFO Research by CICOANI in Alto da Serra, Belo Horizonte (1963)

This research refers to a case involving a luminous, red, oval-shaped object, about the size of a small Volks car, observed hovering near a house in Alto da Serra. The object was seen by Elisabeth and later by her mother, Dona Maria Aparecida, and her children. It made a rattling sound and exhibited a swaying motion.

UFO Sighting in Macaé, 1963

Information from Dona Alex Madruga indicates that Sr. Joaquim Pinto and his family witnessed an oval, luminous object in Macaé. The object, which came from the south, displayed various colors and performed zig-zag maneuvers before ascending and disappearing to the north.

Intercambio Sulamericano: Padre Reyna's News (February 3, 1967)

Amateur astronomer and ufologist Padre Reyna shared news about UFO sightings. In December 1966, he observed UFOs divagating in space. On January 19, 1967, he saw a flying saucer moving south, which then rotated 360 degrees and proceeded north with another object. Further sightings on January 12 and 15, 1967, involved objects moving in circles, turning off lights, and changing colors over locations like Buenos Aires and the Capital.

UFO Photos in Argentina

The issue includes information about three flying saucers photographed by three doctors from the Public Health of Córdoba. The photos were taken in the Andes, near Las Cuevas, at an altitude of 3000 meters. The objects were described as having clear outlines and the first one appeared to be approximately 500 meters in diameter.

Open Letter to U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations (February 1967)

An open letter written by the editors of UFO CONTACT addresses U Thant, advocating for the internationalization of UFO study. The letter argues that 1966 was a significant year for human achievements, but also highlights the need for a serious, independent investigation into UFOs, which are presented as "absolutely proven" visitors from other planets. The authors express concern that decisions about what the public should know about these phenomena are being left to the political agendas of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reporting and analysis of UFO sightings and encounters, with a particular focus on Brazil. The publication presents a wide range of incidents, from visual observations of objects and alleged alien beings to the environmental effects of UFO activity. There is a consistent emphasis on the need for credible, independent, and international research into the UFO phenomenon. The editorial stance is one of advocating for greater transparency and scientific rigor in addressing these events, suggesting that the topic has been neglected or suppressed by mainstream scientific and political establishments. The publication seems to believe that UFOs are a reality and that their study is of paramount importance for humanity.

This issue of UFO CONTACT, identified as number 20 and published by CIPEX e GENA, delves deeply into the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), with a significant focus on sightings and investigations within Brazil during 1966. The publication presents a comprehensive statistical breakdown of reported incidents, alongside detailed descriptions and photographic evidence where available. The content suggests a growing international interest in UFOs, with mentions of governmental and scientific bodies engaging with the topic.

Key Articles and Reports

"Fotografia de um Disco-Teleguiado" (Photograph of a Guided Disc)

This section details a specific sighting and photographic evidence of a UFO. On January 29th, Christian Lyngaard photographed a disc-shaped object in Aalborg, Denmark. The object was observed for 85 seconds, described as arriving at an angle, hovering about 4 meters from the ground, then turning milky white and pulsing with light. It subsequently resumed its original course, moved parallel to a building, ascended, and disappeared.

"Competente análise química de meteoritos, feita em 1931, no Brasil" (Competent Chemical Analysis of Meteorites, Made in 1931, in Brazil)

This article highlights a scientific discovery predating widespread UFO interest. It references a 1966 article in the American magazine "Science" about the detection of Germanium and Gallium in meteorites by two American laboratories. The report then points out that Professor Ernani Ebecken de Araujo had already proven the existence of Germanium in three Brazilian meteorites in 1931, publishing his findings in the "Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Química".

"Os Brasileiros acreditam nos Discos Voadores (UFOS)" (Brazilians Believe in Flying Discs (UFOs))

This section presents a series of points discussing the belief in UFOs in Brazil. It acknowledges the divergence in interpretations of UFO phenomena despite collected data. The article notes that external influences can skew interpretations and that secrecy surrounding UFOs might be lessened without such biases. It also mentions the SBEDV's (Sociedade Brasileira de Evidências de Discos Voadores) general view of UFO occupants as peaceful and technologically advanced beings. The text introduces a contrary opinion from Dr. Olavo Fontes, a Brazilian researcher, who stated in an exclusive interview in New York that there are no controversies regarding flying objects in his country. Dr. Fontes, a professor at the National School of Medicine in Rio de Janeiro, has studied UFO reports in Brazil for 12 years and investigated approximately 300 cases. He recently visited the United States to confer with experts and government officials on UFO reports and was invited to secret conferences aimed at fostering international scientific cooperation on the UFO phenomenon.

Dr. Fontes' research indicates that UFOs are particularly interested in military bases, power plants, and water sources. He expressed concern that these objects have systematically visited and possibly examined vital sectors of civilization. During a wave of sightings in Brazil, UFOs appeared almost simultaneously over 33 important communication centers, railway junctions, and strategic routes. While Dr. Fontes refrains from speculating on the origin of these objects, he suggests that the current incidence of cases indicates they are approaching their objective: contact with humanity, predicting that answers might be revealed within the next three years.

"U THANT E OS UFOs" (U Thant and UFOs)

This segment reports on the interest of U Thant, the UN Secretary-General, in the UFO phenomenon. Amidst the Middle East crisis in June 1967, U Thant arranged for Dr. James E. McDonald, a researcher who firmly believes in the existence of UFOs, to speak before the UN Committee on Outer Space Affairs. Dr. McDonald presented the view that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft on reconnaissance missions to observe Earth. U Thant reportedly confided to friends that UFOs were the most important subject facing the UN immediately after the war, indicating a significant level of official attention to the topic.

"PESQUISA SOBRE DV EM RELAÇÃO AO ANO 1966" (Research on Flying Discs in Relation to the Year 1966)

This extensive section provides a month-by-month statistical compilation of UFO sightings reported in Brazil throughout 1966. Each entry includes the date, location, and a brief description of the sighting, often citing the source of the information (e.g., newspapers like "O Globo", "Jornal da Tarde", "Correio da Manhã").

• April 1966: Sightings include luminous objects over the sea, a white oval object falling into the sea after an explosion, a flattened cone-shaped object with lights, a high-speed object observed near the sea, a metallic cigar-shaped object emitting sparks and flames, and an object launching flames seen in multiple locations.

• Note 1: Refers to photos of a UFO published by "Ufo Contact", showing visual field distortion accompanying an object's movement, possibly linked to a force field.
• Note 2: Mentions a photograph of a UFO landing site in a swampy terrain in Australia, sent by researcher Henk Hinfelar.
• Note 3: Highlights the extensive work of Mrs. J. Vuillequez, who compiled 700 cases of UFO movement worldwide in 1965, including 62 cases of landings or occupants. It encourages forwarding such work to the UN and praises the teamwork of Mrs. Vuillequez and Suzanne Saunier. It also recommends several books on UFOs, including "Ufo-Contact".

Other Mentions and Publications

The issue also references various international UFO publications and books, such as "The Flying Saucer Review", "The Humanoids", "Outros Mundos, Outras Humanidades", and "Inside the Space Ships". It notes the organization of a "real "HUNT FOR FLYING DISCS" by 24 countries, possibly involving military organizations using giant radars or radio telescopes. The term "Ufologist" is defined as someone dedicated to the study of UFOs. The article also discusses the work of Professor Flavio Pereira and his book "Livro Vermelho", which is said to approach the topic of UFOs with an open mind. It mentions the confirmation of contacts by G. Adamski and the archaeological work of George Hunt Williamson. The issue also touches upon power outages in the USA attributed to UFO activity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Quotations from SBEDV's Article "20 years of FS and 10 of SBEDV"

This section provides extended quotations from a SBEDV article, discussing the influence of the air force on UFO research, suggesting that results might be withheld until the end of a contract. It speculates on two alternative outcomes for Earth regarding space advancement: a suicidal holocaust leading to isolation, or successful advancement into space with other civilizations fleeing. A third possibility involves peace on Earth, leading to fertile exchange with advanced civilizations. A fourth scenario suggests that if humans are deceived by their leaders, they might seek direct contact with space, potentially leading to dissatisfaction among terrestrial circles and a move to other planets. The fifth alternative posits that space might become disinterested in influencing Earth, leaving it to its own destiny. The author believes that eventually, the UNO (United Nations Organization) will have to step in, referencing a treaty proposal by Mr. Colman von Keviczky for an intercontinental network called "ICUFON" for UFO research and analysis, aimed at educating local communities for eventual landings and contacts. The text expresses hope for peace on Earth and cultural exchange with space civilizations, envisioning a utopian future by the year 2000. It also calls for an enlargement of the "alert citizen" circle within SBEDV, emphasizing individual conscience over herd mentality.

Crew Members with One Eye Only (Cyclops) by Dr. Alfons Sankott

This article explores reports of one-eyed spacemen, drawing parallels to Greek mythology. It discusses terrestrial genetic aspects, such as the parietal eye in reptiles and the larval stage of shrimps, which possess a single eye. The article also touches upon the congenital defect of cyclopia in humans and speculates on three possibilities regarding space cyclops: that extraterrestrial genetics might differ, that they could be surgically enhanced individuals, or that the appearance of a single eye might be due to the design of their space suits.

Life of a Small Town Telemetered by a Flying Saucer Crew???

This section recounts an experience of Dr. Jeronemo Rodrigues Morais, a doctor in Rio de Janeiro. On April 29, 1967, he responded to several calls for "sudden ailments" in the Barra da Tijuca suburb. In multiple instances, individuals experienced sudden loss of consciousness but quickly recovered, reporting feeling perfectly fine. During one of these calls, while at the hospital, Dr. Jeronemo observed a glittering, aluminum-like metallic object in the sky, moving slowly or at a standstill, which he initially presumed to be a helicopter. Upon returning outside, the object had vanished. The article suggests a hypothesis that the vehicle might have been extraterrestrial, involved in "telemetry" of the incidents and the community's response, including the medical assistance provided. The child involved in one of the cases was discharged, but later returned with a moderate fever, which was treated. The doctors involved, some of whom are described as being "Flying Saucer minded," discussed the peculiar nature of these events, considering the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, research methodologies, and the potential implications of extraterrestrial contact. There is a strong emphasis on documenting and analyzing cases, particularly those occurring in Brazil and South America. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, exploring various hypotheses from scientific to speculative, and advocating for a broader understanding and engagement with the UFO phenomenon. The publication also seems to encourage critical thinking and individual awareness among its readers.
