Magazine Overview

This issue of the SBEDV Bulletin, published by the Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Sobre Discos Voadores (SBEDV), covers the period from March to December 1972. The main cover headline is 'ORTOTENIAS NO SUL DO BRASIL ?' (Orthoteny in Southern Brazil?), referencing a significant event on December 19, 1971.

Table of Contents

The index outlines the contents, including Generalidades (Generalities) and Pesquisas (Research). Generalities cover 'Conversation with the Reader' and 'Evolution or Creation of the Planetary Man?'. The research section is extensive, featuring articles on UFOs in Itaperuna (Part 2), a route, contact with Benidito Miranda, Paulo Caetano and extraterrestrial beings, other witnesses observing UFO occupants, UFO visits to Itaperuna over three days, conclusions, UFO visits to Southern Brazil, proposals for standardizing ufological research, reports from 'AMAN' students, accidental communication with extraterrestrials, the power of UFO invisibility, a colored UFO photo, the enigmatic Juan Santos, considerations on a 'UFO Squadron,' and progress at the APRO Congress in Baltimore. It also includes a list of books and magazines and an English summary.

Key Articles and Content

Conversation with the Reader: This section welcomes the founding of the 'Sociedade Pelotense de Investigação e Pesquisa de Discos Voadores' (SPIPDV) in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, on March 25, 1972. It describes SPIPDV as a civil, independent entity free from religious, political, philosophical, and racial sectarianism. The bulletin lists the board members of SPIPDV, including President Luiz do Rosário Real and others. The address for SPIPDV is provided.

Obituaries: The bulletin reports the passing of two members: José Monteiro M. C. Vianna from Juiz de Fora, described as a prominent intellectual and versatile individual in cultural activities, and Benedito Oliveira Santos from Caconde, São Paulo, who was secretary of the local prefecture and passionate about the UFO problem.

International Ufology: The death of young French Professor Gauthier de Keating-Hart is noted. He was a Doctor in Physics, Solid State Physics, and Magnetism, who had a scholarship in Brazil and died during vacation in France. He had participated in a UFO symposium in São Paulo on November 10, 1971.

The Present Bulletin: This section continues the exposition from Bulletin 81/84, discussing UFOs in Itaperuna. It acknowledges that while the initial research in Itaperuna did not yield expected results, the influence of the small-sized occupants on those who had contact was significant, suggesting powerful energies or techniques. The bulletin also addresses the potential for UFO invisibility, presenting episodes from Brazil and other countries, along with physical theories. It notes that past theories on invisibility often resorted to parapsychology or 'ultra-terrestrial' explanations.

Parapsychology and UFOs: The bulletin mentions attendance at the '50º Colóquio Brasileiro Sobre Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados' in São Paulo. It highlights a dissertation by Dr. Silvio Lago on 'Parapsychology and UFOs,' which discussed the exclusion of electromagnetic waves as a means for telepathic communication and the potential of the subconscious for external communication.

Our Trail: This section discusses the current state of UFO research, noting that it is controlled by major powers and subject to military regulations. It suggests that official release of information is unlikely and emphasizes the need to refine research methods according to proposals from CICOANI and others.

General Comments on Research into Occupants: The bulletin outlines three approaches to researching the habitability of celestial bodies and extraterrestrial occupants: 1) Remote examination of planets/satellites via probes and telemetry. 2) Human astronaut missions. 3) Maintaining contact with extraterrestrials who are occupants of UFOs. It then details the morphological study of extraterrestrial occupants, identifying two groups: 'Homo Sapiens Extra Terrenus' (exceptionally large or small humanoids) and 'Homo Cosmicus' (humanoids with anomalies like cyclopia, absence of nose, or abnormal finger lengths).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, encounters with extraterrestrial beings, and the scientific research and investigation of these phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry, encouraging detailed reporting and objective analysis, as exemplified by the quote from Gordon Creighton: "We must always report the truth, under any circumstances." The publication aims to compile and disseminate research findings, promote standardization in ufological research, and foster a scientific approach to the subject, while acknowledging the challenges posed by government control and the need for advanced research methods.

This issue of 'Discos Voadores em Itaperuna - Estado do Rio' (Flying Saucers in Itaperuna - Rio State), Part 2, published by CIPEX e GENA in 2004, focuses on the UFO phenomenon in the Itaperuna region of Brazil, with a 'Roteiro' (Itinerary) of events and investigations primarily from 1970-1971.

Key Events and Testimonies

The issue details several significant encounters and sightings:

• The Case of the Couple Transported to Mexico: It is mentioned that a couple was transported to Mexico by a UFO, a case known to NASA but kept secret.
• General Moacir Mendonça de Uchoa's Research: General Uchoa, with a team of technicians, documented events involving Mr. Wilson Gusmão and a UFO occupant, including photographic evidence that was reportedly lost.
• Benedito Miranda's Encounter (September 24, 1971): Benedito Miranda reported that while driving near Itaperuna, his car was blocked by a strange, round object. Small beings, approximately 30 cm tall, emerged and used a light to paralyze him and lift him into the air. The object then flew away at high speed.
• Paulo Caetano Silveira's Encounters (September 23, 1971, and subsequent):
• While driving near Tombos, Paulo Caetano Silveira reported being followed by a luminous, elliptical object that caused his car to stop functioning. The object, described as red and then white with a blue glow, hovered around his car. After the object left, his car started, but he experienced a period of disorientation.
• Later, near Itaperuna, he again encountered a similar object. At Serraria, a dark shape on the road turned red, causing his car to stop and be moved off the road. Three small figures, about 90-110 cm tall, emerged from the object and approached his car. He described them as having slow, floating movements.

Investigation Challenges

The publication highlights several difficulties encountered in researching these cases:

• Witness Inconsistencies: The testimonies of witnesses like Benedito Miranda and Paulo Caetano Silveira sometimes contained contradictions, leading investigators to consider the impact of the experience on their memory and perception.
• Lack of Cooperation: Paulo Caetano Silveira was noted for not fully cooperating in providing original photographic evidence, only amplifications.
• Mental States of Witnesses: Witnesses sometimes exhibited strange mental reactions, including states of amnesia or disorientation, making it difficult to ascertain the truth.
• Logistical Difficulties: The distance between Itaperuna and Rio de Janeiro posed logistical challenges for researchers.
• Police Skepticism: Initially, the police investigator in Paulo Caetano Silveira's case expressed doubt due to the lack of mention of occupants in the initial report, only later acknowledging the possibility of 'auto-censorship' in witnesses.

Related Cases and Theories

The issue also references similar cases from international literature, including:

• Kemsey, Australia: A case where a man saw a round face outside his window and was levitated.
• The Barney and Betty Hill Case: Mentioned for its impact and the subsequent hypnosis sessions that revealed details of a UFO examination.

Furthermore, the publication delves into theoretical discussions about the origin of humanity, questioning whether evolution or extraterrestrial creation is more plausible, and suggesting that future contact with extraterrestrials might provide answers.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes are UFO sightings, alien encounters, and the challenges of ufological research. The editorial stance appears to advocate for a more open and serious approach to investigating these phenomena, suggesting the need to 'legalize' the UFO problem and encourage selective contact with extraterrestrial races. The publication emphasizes the importance of these extraterrestrial phenomena, even above hydroelectric power or uranium, and calls for greater efforts to discover and understand them.

This issue of CIPEX e GENA, dated 2004, is a compilation of UFO (Objeto Voador Não Identificado - Unidentified Flying Object) and UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) reports, primarily focusing on incidents that occurred in Brazil during the 1970s. The publication presents detailed accounts from various witnesses, investigations, and related phenomena from other countries.

Key Incidents and Testimonies

Paulo's Encounters

The central figure in many of the reports is a witness named Paulo, who recounts several distinct encounters:

• First Encounter (Page 1): Paulo describes being taken inside a luminous, hexagonal room by a "tray" after encountering a UFO. He experienced sensations of movement, heard whistling sounds, and felt he was being examined. He was later found disoriented and collapsed near his car.
• Second Encounter (Page 2): Approximately 18 days after his first experience, Paulo was awakened by a bright light and saw the same apparatus in his yard. Small beings pointed a box at him, causing a headache.
• Third Encounter (Page 2): On November 17, 1971, Paulo was traveling with a friend, Elvio, when their car was affected by a UFO. He was again taken inside by a "tray" and described the interior, including a light source and a moving occupant.
• Fourth Encounter (Page 4): On December 5, 1971, Paulo reported another contact where he was invited into a craft and given a language lesson, with occupants claiming to be on a peace mission.
• Fifth Encounter (Page 4): On December 19, 1971, Paulo experienced being suspended in the air by a luminous beam from a UFO.
• Photographic Evidence (Page 4-5): Paulo reportedly took photographs of UFOs on three separate occasions in November 1971 and February 1972.

Other Witness Accounts

• Finland Sighting (Page 2): A case from Finland in January 1970 describes two witnesses observing a small, magre creature in green attire, holding a black box emitting yellow light.
• Car Suspension Incident (Page 2): A report from Canada in May 1971 details a car being lifted off the ground by a light beam and hovering.
• Manuel da Silva e Souza's Testimony (Page 5-6): Manuel, an administrator of an airfield, reported seeing a rounded, transparent object with strong blue light in December 1971. He observed a small humanoid figure (about 90 cm tall) emerge and interact with him before re-entering the craft.
• Geni Maria Santana's Account (Page 6): Geni reported seeing a small humanoid figure (about 100-115 cm tall) with dark skin and unusual facial features near her home in Itaperuna in 1969.
• Mário Gomes Nunes' Report (Page 7-8): A report from Fortaleza-Ceará in November 1971 describes an agricultural worker observing a disc-shaped object that emitted intense luminosity and carried three small figures.
• Itaperuna Sightings (Page 7-8): Several sightings in Itaperuna between December 19 and 21, 1971, are detailed, including observations of luminous objects and a black, luminous, round object with golden streaks.
• International Sightings (Page 8): The issue also includes reports from England (Brislington and Bordesley Green) and the Red Sea, describing transparent objects, ring-shaped craft, and luminous phenomena.

Medical and Psychological Aspects

• Medical Examination (Page 3, 10): Paulo underwent medical examinations, including one by Dr. Bussad, after his experiences. A doctor, Dr. Umberto Campos de Souza, noted a wound on Paulo's elbow that smelled of burning.
• Amnesia and Memory (Page 9-10): The publication discusses the credibility of witnesses and explores the concept of amnesia, particularly in relation to Benedito Miranda's account. It suggests that UFO encounters might affect memory fixation due to electromagnetic fields or other factors.

Analysis and Observations

• SBEDV Observations (Page 3, 8): The publication, likely associated with SBEDV (Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos de Discos Voadores - Brazilian Society for the Study of Flying Discs), analyzes the testimonies. They note inconsistencies in some accounts, such as Benedito Miranda's description of a 30 cm tall figure, contrasting with other reports of approximately 1-meter tall beings.
• "Caso do Ano" (Page 8, 10): A significant event is highlighted, involving sightings over 60 cities in Brazil on the night of December 19, 1971. This event is described as a "gigantic operation" involving metallic, non-transparent craft.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, close encounters with alleged extraterrestrial beings (tripulantes), and the physical and psychological effects on witnesses. The publication presents these accounts with a degree of seriousness, often including details about the witnesses' backgrounds, the physical characteristics of the craft and beings, and attempts to corroborate evidence through photographs and medical examinations. The editorial stance appears to be one of investigation and documentation of these phenomena, exploring potential explanations and the challenges in verifying such extraordinary claims. The inclusion of international cases and discussions on memory and credibility suggests a comprehensive approach to the subject matter. The publication seems to aim at presenting a factual record of UFO phenomena as reported by witnesses and investigated by researchers.

This issue of CIPEX e GENA, dated 2004, focuses on the systematic investigation and reporting of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), referred to as OANI (Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados) or Discos Voadores. It compiles data, theories, and methodologies for collecting and analyzing UFO sightings, primarily from Brazil.

Witness Reports and Geographical Data

The issue presents detailed accounts of UFO sightings, including a report from Sr. Victor Soares. One sighting in General Vargas, Rio Grande do Sul, described an annular, smoky object with a luminous center, estimated at 1,500 feet altitude. Additional sightings were reported in Alto da União (Ijuí) and Alegrete, where objects were seen by a congregation. The data suggests a general flight direction of South/North (70% of cases), South-West/North-East (20%), with some objects disappearing vertically, leading to speculation about a possible space base.

Geographical analysis highlights a 'hot zone' for UAP appearances in the BUAC strip (Brazil-Uruguay-Argentina-Chile), specifically between parallels 27° and 30° in Brazil and 29° to 32° in Chile. Within Brazil, Porto Alegre, Canoas, and Alegrete are identified as cities with a high frequency of sightings (around 20 cases each). Specific areas like Florianópolis (SC), Quintão (RS), and zones around Torres (RS) and Santa Vitória do Palmar (RS) are also noted.

Detailed logs from Sr. Fernando Sampaio provide chronological data of UAP passages across various locations in Rio Grande do Sul and other states, with specific times noted, such as 20:30 in Passo Novo and 21:00 in Porto Alegre and Canoas. The data indicates a preference for locations within Rio Grande do Sul.

Investigation Methodologies and Theories

The publication delves into methodologies for standardizing UFO research. It introduces the Ortotenia theory by Aimé Michel, as applied by Carlos Varassin of GPECE, which posits that UFOs scan territories in patterns that converge on a central base. The document emphasizes the need for precise data, including exact times of observation, to effectively map these flight lines.

Standardized forms and procedures are presented for collecting witness testimonies and object characteristics. The "Estimativas de Formas e Dimensões de OANI" section, authored by Prof. Hulvio Brant Aleixo of CICOANI, details the use of ellipse gauges and rulers to determine object shapes and sizes from verbal descriptions. It outlines a step-by-step process for interviews, including how to guide the observer in recalling and describing the object's form and dimensions. Formulas and tables are provided for calculating object size based on estimated distance.

Further sections detail a "Ficha para Especificação de Cores de OANI" for recording color details and a "Formulário para Coleta de Dados" designed to gather comprehensive information about sightings, including environmental conditions, object movement, and physical effects. The document also includes a questionnaire for personal information of the witness and a guide for investigating contacts or landings, emphasizing the importance of an open mind and basic knowledge for investigators.

Organizational Information

Information is provided about CIPEX, GENA, GPECE, and CICOANI, including their addresses and objectives. The Centro de Investigação Civil dos Objetos Aéreos Não Identificados (founded in 1954) highlights its long-standing research into UAPs and the challenges faced due to the unpredictable nature of sightings and public skepticism. They stress the continued importance of collecting and analyzing witness reports.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme is the systematic and scientific approach to studying UFO phenomena. The editorial stance is one of persistent inquiry, aiming to uncover the origins, objectives, and nature of UAPs despite inherent difficulties and skepticism. The publication advocates for detailed reporting and standardized investigation methods to advance understanding and potentially reveal new horizons for civilization. The core questions driving the research are "From what planet do the Flying Saucers come?" and "For what purpose do they observe Earth?"

This issue of CIPEX e GENA, dated 2004, focuses on UFO investigation methodologies, technological aspects of UFOs, and historical case studies. It is presented in Portuguese and appears to be a continuation of previous publications from SBEDV and other related organizations.

Investigation Methodologies

The article "Formulando-se 4 ou mais perguntas..." (p. 34) details methods for interviewing UFO witnesses. It suggests using multiple question variations to help the witness articulate their experience, making it comprehensible to the investigator. It also proposes a second interview to clarify points from the first, recommending underlining or numbering key passages. The use of sketches or "composite sketches" (retrato falado) is highlighted as an effective way to obtain explanations, even from children. The "Ambientação" section emphasizes understanding the witness's personal background (educational, professional, financial, health) to better assess their testimony and eliminate possibilities of suggestion, especially in areas with limited access to media like TV or fiction magazines. The "Reconstituição" section stresses the importance of conducting on-site reconstructions soon after an incident, using debris, footprints, or other physical evidence found at the scene. The "Testes" section discusses the use of psychological tests, with a mention of Professor Húlvio B. Aleixo as an expert, to evaluate witness personality and nuances of behavior. However, it expresses reservations about violent methods like "dramatic testing" and techniques like narco-analysis and hypnosis, deeming them less effective than legal methods and potentially harmful to public perception of UFO research.

Case Studies and Sightings

Several case studies are presented:

• Cadets at Agulhas Negras (AMAN) (p. 36): Three cadets reported seeing an intensely luminous object, identified as a possible UFO, on the night of September 16, 1970, in the skies over Resende. This sighting is linked to a reported telephone interference incident involving Francisco Sá Borges of SBEDV.
• Cadet Abelardo Prisco Souza (p. 36): Reported a large luminosity in the sky on September 16, 1970, between 18:45 and 19:30, describing it as a "beacon" rather than a star.
• Cadet Luiz Antônio Peres de Oliveira (p. 36): Saw a luminous object in space on September 16, 1970, described as slightly elongated, with another smaller object nearby that also shone intensely before disappearing.
• Cadet Estélio Henrique Martin Dantas (p. 36): Corroborated the sighting of a bright object, larger than stars or planets, by most cadets at the Academy on September 16, 1970, around 18:45. He noted another luminous focus that moved and then disappeared.
• Hildebrando Martini Incident (p. 37-38): On a night in July 1970, near the Military Academy of Agulhas Negras, Mr. Martini and his wife experienced a strange "brain vibration" lasting 4-5 seconds. Their Kombi was found in the wrong lane. Later, a motorist reported that streetlights in Itatiaia had flickered. Mr. Martini's employee, Lenir Alves Pedrozo, reported receiving continuous phone calls with strange voices speaking an unintelligible language.
• Klefta, Norway (p. 39): In October 1965, two witnesses heard a metallic voice, like a powerful loudspeaker, repeating a message in Norwegian: "Hello, hello, is anyone here?" No object was seen.
• England (Templeton photograph) (p. 39): In May 1964, a photograph of Elizabeth Templeton in a green field captured the image of a man in a transparent helmet, seen from behind, about 20 meters away. This man was not noticed by the witnesses at the time.
• Itabirito, Brazil (p. 39): In August 1962, a UFO was observed hovering, followed by the appearance of a figure about 1 meter tall, resembling a Michelin tire advertisement figure, which suddenly disappeared.
• Mogy Guaçu, Brazil (1) (p. 39): Two individuals, about 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall, were seen on a farm, but when approached, they could not be found.
• Mogy Guaçu, Brazil (2) (p. 39): The owner of a farm reported previous UFO landings and encounters with small beings. He also described an encounter with a normal-sized person who arrived by car and then disappeared.
• Studham, England (p. 39-40): In July-August 1967, seven boys in a primary school playground saw a small man, about 1 meter tall, with a mustache and a large hat. When they approached, he "transformed" into a blue cloud and reappeared elsewhere, a phenomenon that repeated several times.
• UFOs and Optical Deformations (p. 40): A 1965 8mm film by Madeleine Rodeffor and George Adamski reportedly shows a UFO at low altitude with landing gear in a back-and-forth movement, causing a strong deformation of the UFO's image.
• UFO Deflects Car Headlight (p. 40): In April 1966, a UFO reportedly caused a car's headlight beam to deflect to the right, where the UFO, described as a cone-shaped trunk about 8 meters high, was landed. The UFO then ascended, and the light beam returned to normal.
• UFO Energy Beam Makes Metal Transparent (p. 40): During a guided UFO flight, an energy beam from the UFO reportedly made a metal door of the craft transparent.

UFO Technology and Characteristics

The issue discusses various technological aspects related to UFOs:

• Magnetism Detector: A device operating with a 9V battery that emits an audible alarm when a UFO approaches. It is cigarette-case sized and costs $10.00.
• Magnetometer: A lightweight device (5 cm diameter) that measures magnetic intensities between 0.5 and 50 Gauss, including objects previously subjected to magnetic influence. It costs $15.00.
• Adhesives for Ray Indication: These stickers use colorimetry to indicate gamma and/or electron rays. A pack of 30 costs $3.00, and 200 cost $10.00.
• Invisibility: The article explores two hypotheses for UFO invisibility: an object becoming transparent when hit by a special energy beam, or the manipulation of light rays by an energy field. It suggests this involves advanced technology.

Historical Accounts

• Juan Santos of Peru (p. 42-43): Carlos Paz Garcia of the "Instituto Peruano de Relaciones Interplanetárias" (IPRI) presents research on Juan Santos, who in 1742 proclaimed Peru's independence and was crowned Inca. Garcia's thesis suggests that Juan Santos, a descendant of the Incas, received extraterrestrial assistance. The article details Santos's background, his alleged vision of the Inca God Viraiocha, and his deportation to Angola by Spanish authorities. The text also mentions a drawing found in Pariachi, Peru, depicting a "Flying Saucer" with tripod landing gear.

Photographic Analysis

• "Uma Foto Colorida de um Disco Voador" (p. 41): This section analyzes a color photograph taken by student Gunar Gruenzner. Carlos Varassin initially suggested the image was a reflection or a defect in the film. However, a technician named Archelau Braga de Oliveira disagreed, noting the focus of the luminous anomaly was sharper than the background. Percy Hennell, an English analyst from Flying Saucer Review, also examined the photo and concluded it showed a defect in the emulsion, possibly caused by a substance or a flaw in the film itself. Despite the negative conclusions from the analysts, the article acknowledges the effort and thanks those who collaborated.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the rigorous investigation of UFO phenomena, the exploration of advanced or unknown technologies, and the examination of historical accounts that might involve extraterrestrial influence. The editorial stance, as expressed in the "Observações da SBEDV" and the concluding remarks, emphasizes a cautious but open-minded approach to witness testimony. The SBEDV's principle is to not dismiss seemingly fantastical reports, acknowledging that what appears as fantasy today might become reality tomorrow. They adopt a policy of giving credit to credible witnesses or those investigated "in loco," assuming that seemingly absurd or contradictory ideas may become clear in the future. The publication also highlights the importance of refining investigative methods and encourages further research and the sharing of findings.

This issue of CIPEX e GENA, identified as number 19 and part of volume 85/89, is dated 2004. It serves as an English summary of the SBEDV Bulletin, focusing on ufological research and reports, primarily from Brazil.

Key Articles and Reports

Mário Sampaio's Sighting (Page 1)

The issue begins with a detailed account from Professor Mário Arnoud Sampaio, a Guarani language professor from Gravataí, Brazil. On the night of February 8, 1972, around 10:50 PM to 11:00 PM, he, along with friends Balbino and his son, witnessed what he described as a "Flotilla of Spaceships" (Flotilha de Naves Espaciais). He initially mistook them for meteors due to their size but noted their ordered formation, resembling a compact fleet of "cigar-shaped" craft moving at a speed comparable to a "Caravelle" at low altitude. The objects emitted an orange-blue light, described as intermittent jets, and disappeared as if entering a "colossal hangar." The observation lasted about 10 seconds. The report was forwarded by Victor Soares.

Correction on Victor Soares' Report (Page 1)

A note from CIPEX e GENA (2004) corrects a previous transcription error concerning a report by Victor Soares. The original report stated the observation lasted "4 to 6 seconds," not "4 to 6 minutes" as previously published in Boletim 81/84. The editors explain that they initially assumed a longer duration was more plausible for the observed details.

Comparison of Reports (Page 1)

The issue notes that the reports from Victor Soares and Mário Sampaio share numerous similarities. A specific detail highlighted is that Victor Soares observed the "armada" disappearing at an elevation of about 45°, while Mário Sampaio described their disappearance into a "colossal hangar." The publication emphasizes the importance of knowing the viewing angle in such observations.

Ongoing Research and International Connections (Pages 1-2)

The publication expresses anticipation for further reports from Fernando Sampaio, which are expected to provide a better understanding of rare phenomena. It also references past research by SBEDV, particularly Dr. Mário Prudente Aquino, on the "fall of burnt stages of rockets" in Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1962, linking it to the "Missilery in Brazil" incident.

An update on November 4, 1972, indicates that valuable data regarding the phenomenon was received from Fernando Sampaio and would be published in a future bulletin.

Ufology and Political Relations (Page 2)

The text discusses the relationship between conservative and renovative forces in society, drawing a parallel to the concept of "yen and yang." It reflects on past criticisms of conservative political forces obstructing ufology and notes a shift towards more open discussion, citing the "Proceedings of the Eastern Ufo Symposium of Baltimore" (January 23, 1971). The report mentions the appearance of a "DV" (Disco Voador - Flying Saucer) over the Funil dam in Brazil and Coral Lorenzen's description of modifications observed at the site. However, the local team was reportedly prohibited from conducting research.

Coral Lorenzen's Stance on Contact Cases (Page 2-3)

The issue touches upon Coral Lorenzen's resistance to admitting contacts with beings similar to humans. It references her statement in the APRO report that "APRO had been sitting on an occupant report from Brazil for four years," likely referring to the Antônio Vilas Boas case. The report details the farewell gesture of a female occupant to Antônio Vilas Boas, interpreted by Dr. O. Fontes as "I will have a son of ours, mine and yours, there on my planet..."

Brazilian Research and International Publications (Page 2-3)

The article suggests that the silence surrounding the Antônio Vilas Boas case was broken by SBEDV's research in 1962, published in "Flying Saucer Review." It also mentions João Martins' article in "O Cruzeiro Internacional" (February 16, 1965), discussing the physical resemblances of the alien occupant to Earth inhabitants and questioning if they were merely experimental subjects.

Extraterrestrial Policy and Humanoid Classification (Page 3)

The text speculates that extraterrestrials might classify humans as "homunculi" or "intelligent beasts" to justify a policy of persecution and hunting of UFOs and their occupants, free from legal and political constraints. However, it notes Coral Lorenzen's observation that South Americans are less susceptible to "brainwashing" regarding their UFO experiences.

Hope for a Brazilian Solution (Page 3)

Drawing a parallel to Brazil's policies on oil and the trans-Amazonian highway, the author expresses hope that Brazil will eventually find an "altiva, 'nossa'" (proud, 'ours') solution to the extraterrestrial issue. It acknowledges the presence of individuals who may not fully grasp the implications of the issue but hopes time will bring clarity.
