Key Articles and Case Studies

1. Cave Paintings and Extraterrestrial Connections: The issue references an article in "Revista Manchete" (April 20, 1974) about cave paintings in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, near Januária. These paintings depict human-like figures that could potentially signify a cultural link to extraterrestrials, a theory also explored by the late Dr. Erneni Ebecken de Araujo. The society plans to organize an album of these documented paintings.

2. Cases of Time Dilation: Several cases are presented that suggest anomalies in time perception or measurement, possibly related to UFO activity. This includes the "Bebedouro" case and another Brazilian case of time dilation, as well as an Argentine case of time "shortening." The issue explores the theoretical implications of time dilation in relation to Einstein's theory of relativity, with a diagram illustrating the concept.

3. The Case of the Transparent Automobile (Item 8): This is a significant section detailing an incident where an automobile reportedly became transparent. It includes a description of the case, additional testimonies from witnesses, observations by SBEDV, and discussions about the phenomenon. The case is linked to the "Vilas Boas" case and the "Hill" case, suggesting a pattern of "humanoid" extraterrestrial encounters.

4. Encounters with Alien Occupants (Item 10): This section categorizes various reports of alien beings encountered by witnesses. These include:
* Rectangular Occupants: Described in Item 10A.
* Triangular Occupants: Detailed in Item 10B, with variations in descriptions from different witnesses.
* Cone-Shaped Occupants: Mentioned in Item 10C.
* The Flying Specter of Natal: A report from Natal (Africa) in Item 10D.
* Cyclopean Gods: A peculiar designation in Item 10E.
* Winged Ufonaut: A case published in F.S.R. (Item 10F).
* Winged Men in Italy: Sightings reported in "Il Giornale dei Misteri" (Item 10F).
* Hill Case Occupants: Drawings and descriptions of the occupants from the Hill case, referencing the UFO INVESTIGATOR and NICAP.

5. Case of Antônio Vilas Boas: The issue revisits the well-known case of Antônio Vilas Boas, noting that SBEDV has received both praise and criticism regarding its handling of the case. The society reaffirms its stance that the female entity encountered was "strictly of the type found among terrestrial races," a "HOMO SAPIENS INTERPLANETARIUS."

6. Other Notable Cases:
* Maria Cintra's Encounter: An attendant in Lins, São Paulo, encountered a woman who requested water and then entered a landed UFO.
* Daildo de Oliveira's Encounter: A night watchman in Baurú encountered individuals who turned out to be alien occupants of a vehicle.
* Law Students' Sighting: Four law students witnessed extraterrestrials by the roadside.
* Artur Berlet's Contact: Artur Berlet had a prolonged contact with extraterrestrials, mistaking them for ordinary people.

7. Photographic and Artistic Representations: The magazine includes numerous photographs and illustrations depicting UFOs, alleged alien beings, and scenes related to the reported incidents. These visual aids are crucial for understanding the cases presented.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of SBEDV revolve around the investigation of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and encounters with extraterrestrial beings. The society appears to maintain a rigorous, evidence-based approach, analyzing witness testimonies, photographic evidence, and theoretical concepts like time dilation. There is a clear interest in documenting and understanding cases originating from Brazil, while also referencing international reports and research. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry, acknowledging the potential for groundbreaking discoveries that challenge conventional scientific understanding, as exemplified by the discussion on "anthropocentric" pride and the implications of superior extraterrestrial technology. The society also emphasizes the importance of reader contributions and ongoing research to refine its understanding of these phenomena.

This issue of 'OBSERVAÇÕES DE DISCOS VOADORES NO PARA' (Observations of Flying Saucers in Pará), published by CIPEX and GENA in 2004, features content from 1953 and 1969. The primary focus is on UFO sightings and alleged encounters in Brazil.

Article: Icoaracy Sighting (1953)

The article begins with an introduction to Dna. Ester C.L., a writer and widow of a distinguished Brazilian, who, along with her late husband, conducted research on natural history in the Amazon. She is presented as a credible witness.

Dna. Ester recounts an experience in Icoaracy, Pará, in 1953. She describes building a house there and being fascinated by the location. Due to an increase in burglaries, she hired a vigia (watchman). She asked the vigia to keep an eye on the sky for anything unusual.

One night, around midnight, the vigia called her to witness a strange object in the sky. Dna. Ester and her six-year-old daughter observed what they described as a large, bluish, star-like luminous object. It appeared to be stationary, changing position without perceptible movement, and remained fixed to the right of a paineira tree. The object was described as fascinatingly beautiful and moved in a peculiar, non-linear manner.

Article: Nuns' Sighting (1953)

The following day, nuns from the Order of Santana approached Dna. Ester, asking if she had seen anything unusual the previous night. They recounted their own experience: after dinner, while sitting on the terrace, they saw a large ball of fire descend towards the river. It stopped about three to four meters above the water's surface, appearing like a round airplane with illuminated windows. They were unable to move or call out. The object remained there for about fifteen to twenty minutes before ascending vertically and heading towards Marajó. The nuns were frightened and spent the rest of the night praying.

Dna. Ester shared her experience with them, linking it to her years of reading about flying saucers.

Article: The Bebedouro Case (1969)

This section details a case involving alleged abduction and time dilation, reported by Hulvio Brant Aleixo of CICOANI. The incident occurred between May 4th and 9th, 1969, involving soldier José Antônio da Silva.

José Antônio, a soldier in the Military Police of Minas Gerais, left home on May 3rd, 1969, to go fishing near Bebedouro, Matozinhos. He set up his tent by a small lagoon and went to sleep.

On the morning of May 4th, he resumed fishing. Around 3 PM, he heard a cry and felt a beam of light strike his legs, causing him to feel cramps and numbness. He dropped his fishing rod and knelt by the lagoon. He described the beam as appearing fiery but not burning, with a greenish center and reddish edges.

Suddenly, two small, masked individuals appeared and lifted him by the armpits, dragging him through marshy terrain. He noticed a third individual behind them. All three carried weapons. José Antônio believes the third individual was responsible for the 'shot' and the sound he heard.

Description of the Abductors

José Antônio was wearing only shorts. The beings were about 1.20 meters tall, covered in a shiny, light-colored suit with segmented joints. They wore gray, matte masks that were rounded at the back and angular at the front, with two circular eyeholes. The masks extended down to their shoulders.

The Craft

José Antônio was taken to an aerial apparatus that he described as a vertical cylinder with lenticular bases. It was approximately 2 meters tall with a diameter of 3 meters at the top platform and 2.5 meters at the bottom. The craft had a door and a quadrangular interior room with dark gray walls, ceiling, and floor. There were benches but no visible light sources or windows.

The Journey

Inside the craft, José Antônio and his abductors sat on benches. They were secured with a material that felt 'dried out.' The third individual, who appeared to be the pilot, entered and sat in front of them. The pilot activated controls, causing the craft to lift off with a humming sound. He then activated another control, and the craft accelerated vertically. The beings spoke in an unintelligible language, which José Antônio perceived as having a predominant 'r' sound.

During the journey, the craft rotated 90 degrees. The interior lighting became increasingly intense, forcing José Antônio to close his eyes. After about an hour, the light subsided, and the craft landed.

The 'Uranians' Without Masks

Upon landing, the beings removed their masks. José Antônio described one individual, possibly the leader, as being slightly larger and more robust, about 1.25 meters tall. He had long, wavy, reddish hair, a thick beard, and pale skin. His eyes were large, round, and green, with darker sclera. The leader's nose was prominent, and his mouth was described as fish-like. The beings seemed satisfied with José Antônio's presence.

Human Cadavers

José Antônio observed four naked male cadavers lying on a low platform in the craft. They appeared to be dead, with closed eyes and rigor mortis. He noted their different skin tones, from dark to fair, and that they did not appear to have any visible wounds. He speculated that they might not have resisted or that their masks were removed.

The Interior of the Craft

The interior walls of the craft were decorated with colorful drawings of animals, houses, cities, trees, and vehicles, including trucks, a bimotor airplane, and a car. There was also a small, cylindrical apparatus resembling a race car, which José Antônio could not identify.

Examination of Belongings

The abductors examined José Antônio's fishing gear, including hooks, a machete, a shovel, a box of matches, and a can of sardines. They kept one example of each duplicated item and returned the rest, except for his identity card, which they kept, leading him to believe they identified him as military personnel.

Weapons

One of the beings demonstrated a weapon by firing a beam of light at a wall, causing discoloration. The conversation between the leader and José Antônio reportedly revolved around weapons.

Communication Attempts

The leader attempted to communicate with José Antônio using gestures and drawings on a white surface, which he likened to a blackboard. Through these illustrations and gestures, José Antônio began to understand basic concepts like 'down,' 'your land,' and 'this room' or 'our land.' The leader seemed to want weapons from Earth.

Food?

One of the beings offered José Antônio a dark green liquid from a pyramid-shaped cube. He initially refused but drank it after seeing one of the beings consume it. The liquid had a bitter taste but made him feel better and more animated, and he believed he could understand them better afterward.

Leader's Proposal

José Antônio concluded that the beings were insistent on his assistance with their purposes related to human society.

Article: UFO in Rio de Janeiro (1968)

Years later, in 1968, Dna. Ester witnessed searchlights in the sky in Rio de Janeiro. These lights focused on an elongated aircraft with windows, described as cigar-shaped, which remained stationary before accelerating rapidly towards Niterói.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to focus on UFO sightings, alleged alien encounters, and related phenomena. The editorial stance seems to be one of presenting firsthand accounts and investigations into these events, with an emphasis on credible witnesses and detailed case descriptions. The inclusion of both historical (1953) and more recent (1969, 1968) accounts suggests a continuous interest in the subject matter. The detailed narrative of José Antônio's abduction highlights the magazine's commitment to exploring the more extraordinary aspects of UFOlogy, including physical descriptions of craft and beings, and the concept of time dilation.

This issue of Revista UFO, dated 2004, features a cover story titled "UMA VISÃO E UM SEGREDO" (A Vision and a Secret). The publication is attributed to CIPEX and GENA, with the primary focus on the detailed investigation of the "Bebedouro Case" involving soldier José Antônio da Silva.

The Bebedouro Case: Abduction and Vision

The article begins by describing an alleged encounter where a "leader" (homenzinho) uses a horizontal blackboard to draw two large circles, one black and one white, to represent night and day. The leader then proceeds to draw numerous small circles, relating them to the larger white circle, which José Antônio interprets as "days." Eventually, he understands that a large cluster of circles represents "one year" (365 days). The leader then draws nine more clusters, each representing "ten years." A line separates three clusters from the remaining seven. The leader gestures, indicating a proposal for José Antônio to go to Earth for three years to gather information, then to be brought back for seven years of study, with him acting as a guide. José Antônio refuses this offer with a negative signal. During this, he is praying the rosary. The leader, showing irritation for the first time, snatches the crucifix from his neck. A bead rolls away and is picked up by one of the little men, and the crucifix is also displayed, sparking curiosity.

Suddenly, while the 'homenzinhos' are debating, a human figure appears before José Antônio. This figure speaks clear Portuguese and is perceived only by José Antônio, despite his favorable position. The figure is described as a man, approximately 1.70m tall, thin, with a beard and light-colored hair, fair skin, and clear eyes. He wears dark clothing reaching his bare feet, has wide sleeves, a turned-up collar, and a thick white rope belt with a knot and two hanging ends, resembling a friar's habit. José Antônio feels relief and is animated by revelations from this vision, which he believes cannot be transmitted to anyone without further instructions, possibly taking two to three years.

José Antônio is reluctant to discuss the vision and the received message, considering it secret. He also provides physical details of the individual with great reluctance, fearing identification. When asked if the vision was of Jesus, he denies it. He avoids answering if it was a saint, smiling and changing the subject.

Return Journey and Disorientation

The tall individual disappears as suddenly as he appeared. The 'homenzinhos' seem unusually irritated. The leader directs José Antônio, whose eyes are bandaged, to an interior location within the craft. The return journey is described as long, with the apparatus changing position and its light pulsing. Upon arrival, José Antônio's mask is removed, and he loses consciousness, feeling himself being dragged into darkness. He estimates being in this semi-conscious state for about an hour before perceiving the first light of dawn. He hears running water and, driven by intense thirst, finds a stream. He drinks about 1.5 liters of water from his canteen and eats small fish he catches. He notes the landscape is completely strange, finding himself near a quarry beside a stream. He walks and finds an asphalted road, learning he is 32 km from Vitória, the capital of Espírito Santo, on the road to Minas Gerais. He is surprised to learn the date is May 9th, realizing his absence lasted four and a half days.

Post-Encounter Symptoms and Reluctance to Report

Concerned about justifying his absence, José Antônio decides not to return to Minas Gerais immediately, preferring to survive in the wilderness. He fears being approached by the Espírito Santo police, as he has no identification. His right leg is affected, and he has open wounds on his shoulders and neck from friction with the helmet. He eventually accepts a ride to Colatina, carefully avoiding revealing his story, attributing his journey to fulfilling a promise. He later seeks directions to the nearest train station to Belo Horizonte, changing his mind about staying away. He encounters boys who mock him and throw stones. He eventually reaches a station and learns about the next train to Belo Horizonte, deciding to return and face the consequences.

Further Interactions and Financial Matters

While waiting for the train in Belo Horizonte, José Antônio converses with the station agent, sharing his story and even visiting the agent's home, where he is fed. He is offered work by a neighbor but declines. Grateful, he gives the agent two machetes he had. He also finances a young man's train ticket. The 'homenzinhos' had returned 35,000 of his 35,000 and 100 Cruzeiros.

Observer Data: José Antônio da Silva

José Antônio da Silva is 24 years old, single, with 11 siblings (one deceased). He is the 20th child. His mother is deceased, and his father is alive. He has incomplete primary education. He served 5 years in the Military Police of Minas Gerais and has been a orderly for the Battalion of Guards for 2 years. He is described as healthy, of modest socio-economic status, and lives with his family in a suburban house he helped build. He is religious but does not proselytize. His father confirms his initiative at home and good relations with others, noting he has no vices.

Observer Symptoms After Return

Besides the wounds and leg swelling, José Antônio appeared emaciated, sunburnt, and dejected. He had difficulty walking and suffered from constipation for a week. He also reported burning sensations and decreased visual acuity, intermittent abdominal pain, and headaches. He described a sensation in his eyes similar to what he felt inside the apparatus due to its internal light.

Reconstitution of the Incident

On May 26th, a team visited Bebedouro to reconstruct the incident with José Antônio. The CICOANI was represented by Húlvio B. Aleixo and Luiz Romaniello. Military police and CIOANI representatives were also present. The reconstruction, including photographic coverage, was considered firm and coherent with his previous account. During a brief survey of the area, a boy reported seeing a silent, umbrella-like object at high altitude.

José Antônio expressed concern that the green liquid he ingested might have placed him under the control of the 'homenzinhos,' who had reappeared in his yard. He described an impulse to go to the yard around midnight on May 21st, where he saw three 'homenzinhos' in flight suits looking at him. He retreated into his house and locked the door. He explained his reaction by stating he would not go against "his people" and implied the 'homenzinhos' could represent a future threat. He believed this danger was revealed by the blond, pleasant-looking individual who appeared in the hall, suggesting it involved unknown beings and potential calamities, but that humanity could avert this by changing its behavior. He was extremely discreet about this secret.

New O.A.N.I. Appearance

José Antônio initiated a conversation, asking Professor, "Professor, until today you have asked me questions, and I have answered. Today, I am the one who needs to ask questions for you to answer." He then asked, "Is the apparatus that is not an apparatus?" After clarification, he described seeing a yellow light descending obliquely from the Serra do Curral towards his house around 10 PM one night. He stopped about 10 meters away as the light descended, moving vertically and laterally at a few meters above the ground. It was a spherical object, about 30 cm in diameter, seemingly directed by someone, though not like the craft he had traveled in. The luminous ball moved away, ascending in the same direction it came from.

Expedition to Bebedouro and Related Cases

In May 1969, rumors of OANI (Unidentified Aerial Object) activity in municipalities near Belo Horizonte, including Matozinhos, Pedro Leopoldo, Jaboticatubas, Jequitibá, and Baldim, were received. Given the publicity of José Antônio's case, the rumors were initially met with skepticism, possibly being psychosomatic effects. However, the news continued to grow. In early June 1969, a chemistry student from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, leading a group, sought collaboration for an expedition to the Bebedouro area, where reliable information about OANI activities had been obtained. Colonel Jacy Praxedes, commander of the Guard Battalion, had shown interest in José Antônio's case. Professor Angelo Heleodoro dos Santos, who had recently conducted an expedition to the area, shared his findings, including a film of a luminous point in motion.

Following this, CICOANI coordinated a second expedition to Bebedouro. A report noted observations of luminous foci with strange behavior on the nights of June 14th and 15th. These ended with the distant passage of an oblong, gray-blue craft, the size of a DC-3 airplane, flying serenely and silently. The author managed to capture an image of one of the luminous points on film.

Regional Involvement and the "Constantino" Case

Information gathered from residents indicated repeated sightings of low-flying UAPs. The activity of OANI in municipalities near Matozinhos led to over 20 expeditions by CICOANI to the area, with hundreds of people interviewed about their proximity and landing experiences. These accounts are to be published in a book titled "Discos Voadores no Rio das Velhas" (Flying Saucers on the Rio das Velhas).

The "Constantino" case, occurring around the same time as "Bebedouro" at Fazenda Constantino, is highlighted due to its correlation. It involves Antônio Rodrigues, a 60-year-old deaf-mute, who, through gestures, described an incident with short, bearded 'homenzinhos' who disembarked from a craft. He was pursued and hit by a device, causing him to fall. The 'homenzinhos' examined him and then returned to their craft. Rodrigues' gestures were clear enough for an interpreter to convey the details. His reaction to a composite sketch of the 'homenzinhos' from the Bebedouro case was highly agitated, interpreted as "Be careful with this one!" The coincidence between the "Bebedouro" and "Constantino" cases is significant given Rodrigues' cultural isolation.

More Coincidences and Time Dilation

Another case from Itauçu, Goiás, reported by Adelino Roque, involved a period of unconsciousness after seeing a light, waking up disoriented by a river. This case shares the basic coincidence of the "Itauçu" and "Bebedouro" cases and the specific detail of waking up near a quarry and stream, similar to José Antônio's experience.

Comments and Time Dilation Theory

The article praises the CICOANI's research and reconstitution efforts. It notes the transcendental importance of the extraterrestrials' offer to the witness for a seven-year stage with them. A discrepancy is observed between the witness's perceived time spent with extraterrestrials (24-28 hours) and the actual time elapsed on Earth (4.5 days). This is discussed in relation to potential panic, ingestion of psychotropic drugs, or Einstein's Theory of Relativity concerning time dilation due to high speed.

Examples of time dilation are presented, including the case of Dr. Ernani Ebeken and a phenomenon in Argentina involving a shortened travel time. The article also mentions photographic evidence of UAPs exhibiting high speeds and rapid accelerations/decelerations, citing an APRO Bulletin and a Flying Saucer Review article.

Einstein's Theory of Relativity and Time Dilation

The mathematical expression for time dilation according to Einstein is presented: t = t₀ / √(1 - v²/c²), where 't' is the dilated time, 't₀' is the relative time of a stationary body, 'v' is the body's velocity, and 'c' is the speed of light. A table shows how the time dilation factor 'B' increases significantly as velocity approaches the speed of light. For example, at 290,000 km/s, the dilation is 4 times, corresponding to the Bebedouro case. The article notes that the meson 'u' particle's half-life increases dramatically when observed in motion at near-light speeds.

Conclusion

The article concludes by reiterating the connection between the Bebedouro case and the problem of time dilation, suggesting that the witness's perception of only 1 to 48 hours passing, when in reality it was 4.5 days, could be related to this phenomenon. The discussion of Einstein's theory is presented to stimulate readers to reason and associate these facts with future findings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs), extraterrestrial encounters, and the potential for human-alien interaction. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and open-mindedness towards these phenomena, presenting detailed accounts, witness testimonies, and scientific theories like time dilation to explain the observed anomalies. There is a clear emphasis on documenting and analyzing these events, even when they involve potentially sensitive or secret information. The publication aims to inform readers and encourage critical thinking about these complex subjects.

This issue of Revista UFO, identified by the internal codes CIPEX e GENA 2004, delves into several UFO-related incidents primarily from Brazil, with a focus on cases from Pirassununga and Catanduva. The content includes detailed witness testimonies, investigative reports from the SBEDV (Brazilian Society of UFO Studies), and medical perspectives.

Case of Tiago Machado

The issue dedicates significant attention to the case of Tiago Machado, a young man from Pirassununga, São Paulo. On February 6, 1969, at approximately 7 AM, Tiago observed a UFO ascending and descending in a nearby scrubland. He reported that after the encounter with the 'crew,' he was immobilized by a luminous ray, causing him to lose consciousness. Upon waking, he felt disoriented and noted a white mark on his leg, which he believed was caused by the ray. A local doctor, Dr. Henrique Reis, examined Tiago shortly after but found no objective abnormalities, though he noted the boy was 'dazed' and his body was stiff. This created psychological distress for Tiago's family and initially hindered the SBEDV's investigation, preventing an interview with the doctor at the time.

The report references related cases investigated by SBEDV, including 'ROBOTS NA CIDADE DE LEME' and 'OS BRIGUES EXTRATERRESTRES-PIRASSUNUNGA.'

Dr. Reis, interviewed in May 1973, three years after the incident, reiterated that his examination of Tiago revealed nothing objectively wrong, with pulse, blood pressure, and respiration being normal. However, he noted Tiago's body was rigid and he blinked frequently. Dr. Reis also mentioned that elements from the Aeronautics, investigating related cases in Pirassununga, found flattened grass in a circular area and three equidistant marks forming a triangle, consistent with a UFO landing site. They also noted that the first helicopter dispatched to the site suffered a malfunction.

The article explores potential psychological effects of UFO encounters, citing examples like temporary blindness and amnesia in other cases. It also discusses the 'mark' on Tiago's thigh, which was reportedly not visible during the medical examination a few hours after the incident.

Neighbor's Testimony

Da. Maria dos Santos, a neighbor, also provided testimony. On the same day, around 8:30 AM, she observed a shiny, bowl-shaped object ascending and descending above rosemary bushes near the Zootecnico Institute of Industry and Husbandry (IZIP). She called her mother and stepfather, and Tiago, wearing a red shirt, went into the IZIP area to look for the object. He was visible for a while due to his shirt color but then disappeared into the vegetation. Later, a boy ran to inform Tiago's mother that he was dying in the woods. Maria dos Santos and another neighbor accompanied Tiago's mother, finding Tiago on the ground, eyes open, 'dazed,' and pale, complaining of a wound on his thigh.

Tiago was taken to Sr. Francisco Hanse's house, where his pants were torn, revealing a whitish mark on his right thigh, described as if produced by a horizontal whip lash. He was given water and became more coherent. The police were called, and Tiago was taken to Santa Casa hospital. The examining doctor, Dr. Henrique Reis, reportedly had a mistaken impression due to Tiago's torn clothes and sent him home after a routine examination.

Elements from the Aeronautics School in Pirassununga visited Tiago's home and had him create drawings based on his encounter. They also returned with Dr. Henrique Reis for a more thorough examination.

Case of the Ant-Killers (O CASO DOS MATA-FORMIGAS)

This section, though separate, is presented as potentially related to the Tiago Machado case. On April 19, 1973, a researcher learned of other rural workers who had seen a UFO around the same time as Tiago's incident. Sra. Bárbara Mina da Silva reported seeing a shiny 'tent' or 'barraca' in a rice field. She also saw a luminous ball, described as 'the size of the Sun,' hovering above the bushes. Later, a FAB helicopter was seen near the location, and the area was intensely investigated by the FAB. Sra. Silva later realized she might have seen a UFO with three occupants.

Case of Fazenda Bela Aliança

This case occurred on February 6, 1969, in Pirassununga. José Antônio Fioco, administrator of the 'Fazenda Bela Aliança,' heard pigs grunting and went to investigate. He witnessed a strange craft, approximately 5 meters high and 4 meters wide, land nearby. It was supported by a tripod. Three men emerged from an opening and stood on a balustrade surrounding the craft for about three minutes. They were about 1.60 meters tall, wore aluminum-like shoes, and full-body suits. One carried a tube emitting a light beam that illuminated the chicken coop. Another looked through an apparatus resembling a camera, and a third carried a baton. Fioco thought it might be a helicopter in distress, but then observed a luminous circle below the craft. The craft then departed rapidly when Fioco opened a gate to return to his house.

Fioco later reported seeing UFOs multiple times, including daytime sightings at high altitude and nighttime landings. About a month after the Fazenda Bela Aliança incident, he witnessed a luminous object descend into a cotton field. About 15 people saw it, but no physical traces were found the next day, although human footprints were observed. A month later, a third landing occurred, and Fioco saw 'people walking.' The area showed broken and uprooted sugarcane.

TV Interference

Sr. Fioco also reported strange TV interference during that period. Programs on Channel 4 were replaced by images of women in strange, long robes and small men with helmets. He heard them speaking in a low, grave voice, using disjointed words in an unknown language. The images appeared distorted, as if seen through water. His wife also witnessed similar 'phantasmagoric' images on the TV.

Case of the Transparent Automobile

This case involves Onilson Patero, a salesman from Catanduva, São Paulo. On the night of May 21-22, 1973, on the road to Itajobi, his car was paralyzed by an aerial device. The incident involved a 'spy-beam' that examined his car from a distance, causing the automobile to become transparent, like glass. Following this, Patero developed skin spots similar to small subcutaneous hemorrhages.

The case was reported in several newspapers, including 'Veja,' 'Estado de São Paulo,' and 'Ultima Hora.'

The SBEDV investigated the case, with Dr. Eliaz Aziz Chediek assisting. The investigation involved interrogations of Patero and a road guard who assisted him. Dr. Chediek, a physician and researcher, participated in the reconstruction of the event. He is noted for his work in medical research, including a study on acquired toxoplasmosis.

Onilson Patero recounted that on May 21, 1973, he left Oswaldo Cruz around 11 PM and was driving towards Catanduva. He picked up a young man as a passenger who asked him about his education and life. Near the 'Salto' hydroelectric plant, about 150 km from Catanduva, the passenger suddenly stated his destination was Itajobi, another 18 km away. Patero drove him there and refused payment, but the passenger placed a 50 cruzeiro note in his pocket.

Approximately 7 km from Catanduva, around 3 AM, Patero experienced seven distinct phases of the event:

1. Radio interference and engine faltering.
2. A blue light appeared on the dashboard, moved around the car's interior, and made metallic parts transparent, allowing Patero to see the engine's internal workings. The light disappeared near the pedals.
3. The engine worsened, forcing Patero to downshift. A strong light, like a beam, approached him. He tried to alert the driver by flashing his headlights, but it had no effect.
4. Patero slowed down and pulled over, blinded by the intense light. The car's electrical system, radio, and dashboard stopped working.
5. He saw an opaque, circular object, about 4-5 meters in diameter, suspended about 10 meters above the ground. It was composed of two superimposed domes.
6. Patero felt intense heat inside the car. He opened the door, and a transparent elastic curtain moved across the vehicle, enclosing it. He perceived this as a protective measure as the temperature then became more moderate.

Physiological Modifications

The issue also discusses the need for complementary examinations to prove physiological modifications caused by UFO phenomena. It references previous SBEDV bulletins and focuses on the endocrine system, particularly the hypothalamus-pituitary axis. It suggests that UFO phenomena might trigger responses in the nervous system and endocrine glands, potentially causing neuro-vegetative symptoms. The article outlines recommended medical procedures, including collecting blood samples, performing immediate examinations, and testing for specific hormonal imbalances like hyponatremia and high urine density, which could indicate issues with the hypothalamus-pituitary system or parathyroid glands.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alleged alien encounters, physical evidence left by UFOs, witness testimonies, and the challenges of investigating such phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFO reports, presenting detailed accounts and seeking scientific and medical corroboration where possible. The magazine aims to document these events and explore their potential implications, often referencing previous reports and scientific theories within the field of ufology.

This issue of "Boletim" (Bulletin), published by CIPEX e GENA in 2004, focuses on extraordinary cases related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and alleged alien encounters. The primary narrative revolves around the experiences of Sr. Onilson, a witness who reported multiple unusual events.

The Case of Sr. Onilson

The issue details a significant incident involving Sr. Onilson, who experienced his car being immobilized by a blue light emanating from a hovering object. A descending cylinder, described as having a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters, approached his vehicle. Onilson perceived this as a sign of intelligent control, possibly by beings who had previously spied on his car. He described the cylinder reaching about 3 meters in length, causing him to fear being taken away. To avoid passing under the cylinder, he attempted to drive away towards the city of Itajobi, intending to hide in a wooded area.

During his escape attempt, Onilson felt something like a thin rubber band pulling at his back. Upon turning to investigate, he observed the object projecting a luminous beam, about 30 cm wide, onto his car, making it appear transparent. He could see the car's interior, engine, and chassis as if it were made of glass. This experience caused him great distress, especially as the car was not fully paid for. He recalls feeling intense suffering and believes he may have fainted, as his memory of the event becomes fragmented.

Sr. Onilson was later found by roadside guard Clóvis Queiroz, lying face down near his abandoned car. Two young men had reported finding him in this state, noting the car's door was open and headlights were on. They initially thought he might be dead due to violence or drowning, as rainwater was beating against his head. The discovery was made about 7 km from Itajobi on the road to Catanduva.

Upon arrival, Guard Queiroz illuminated Onilson with his car's headlights and attempted to turn him over. Onilson began to move and tried to get up, expressing fear of being pursued. He identified himself and recounted the events, appearing highly tense and eager to leave the area. Queiroz, attempting to assess his mental state, even involved a truck driver transporting chicks to gauge Onilson's reaction. Onilson's persistent desire to flee led Queiroz to believe he might have suffered an epileptic seizure and should be taken to a hospital.

Further investigation of Onilson's car revealed his papers were scattered from the open glove compartment, though the key to the locked bag was still in his pocket. He denied opening the bag or scattering the papers. Despite these findings, clinical and neurological tests at the Santa Casa de Catanduva revealed no abnormalities in Sr. Onilson. However, it was noted that his clothing was soaked by rain, except for the back of his shirt, which remained strangely dry.

His wife reported a peculiar change in his hair color, which temporarily turned black from its normal brown. Additionally, Onilson experienced itching all over his body, which his wife helped him to scratch. He was eventually discharged with a sedative.

Objective Indicators of an Extraordinary Episode

The bulletin presents several "indícios" (clues) supporting the extraordinary nature of the event:

• 10th Indício: The car's interior showed signs of disturbance, with papers scattered, yet the car's lock key was found on Onilson, and he denied opening the bag or scattering the contents.
• 20th Indício: Sr. Onilson underwent medical and psychological examinations, which revealed no anomalies, despite the unusual circumstances.
• 30th Indício: His clothes were dry in a specific area (back of the shirt) despite being exposed to rain, suggesting an unusual protective effect.
• 40th Indício: A temporary change in hair color and persistent itching were reported.

Further Investigations and Witness Accounts

The bulletin also includes details from a researcher, Dr. Elias Azis Chedieck, who was investigating the case. It mentions that Sr. Onilson had given a ride to a young man named Alex (or similar) who was about 1.75m tall, athletic, with blond hair and blue eyes. This individual refused a cigarette, stating he didn't smoke, but kept a golden metal cigarette case nearby. Alex asked Onilson about his residence and profession, and later, in Itajobi, precisely recalled Onilson's full address, which impressed Onilson due to his own memory lapse.

This mysterious passenger's whereabouts became an enigma, as no one in Itajobi recalled seeing such a person. The incident had gained local notoriety through newspapers and radio.

Second Encounter with a DV (UFO)

A second incident involving Sr. Onilson is reported. While returning from Júlio de Mesquita to Catanduva on April 26th, his car was intercepted by a light beam from a DV near Guaranta. He pulled over, and the DV, similar to one seen previously, appeared. Onilson attempted to flee, but a beam or "mat" extended from the DV, allowing him to levitate into the craft. Inside, he encountered the same young man he had previously given a ride to. He described being in several rooms and being observed by three hooded figures, possibly doctors. He also saw four other individuals, one of whom resembled himself, which greatly frightened him. This doppelgänger was wearing the same clothes and glasses as Onilson from his first experience. He was returned to a field near Catanduva around 3 AM.

The Vila Baumer Case

The issue also presents the case of Henrique Schneider Júnior, a chemical industrialist from Vila Baumer, Santa Catarina. On September 26th or 27th, 1968, Schneider observed a strange object in the yard of his pottery factory. The object was described as funnel-shaped, about 4 meters high with a base diameter of 2.50 meters, resting on a tripod. A rectangular entity, about 1.50 meters tall, descended via a rolling mat. Schneider experienced telepathic communication from the entity, which explained it was investigating a fire that was causing intense heat and smoke. The entity stated they were from space, governed by a chief, and were on a specific route. They promised to establish further contact.

Analysis and Commentary

The bulletin includes commentary from researchers like Dr. Max Berezovski and Carlos Varassin. They emphasize the importance of carefully analyzing such reports, especially when they deviate from the norm. The researchers highlight factors supporting the credibility of witnesses, such as the corroboration of physical evidence (like the abandoned car) and the psychological profile of the witnesses (e.g., not being egocentric or prone to paranoia).

There is a discussion about the "political ufology" which, according to the authors, tends to dismiss cases of "friendly" alien contacts. The publication suggests that extraterrestrial technology is superior to terrestrial technology, making it difficult to assess UFO phenomena using conventional means. The authors also note that many media portrayals of extraterrestrials are negative, potentially influencing public perception.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs), close encounters with alleged extraterrestrial beings, and the psychological and physical effects on witnesses. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, challenging conventional explanations and criticizing what they term "political ufology" for its dismissive attitude towards certain types of sightings. The publication aims to document and analyze these cases, presenting witness testimonies and researcher findings to a wider audience, advocating for a more open-minded approach to the study of UFOs.

This issue of CIPEX e GENA, published in 2004, focuses on UFO research and extraterrestrial encounters, presenting a collection of articles and case studies. The magazine is divided into two parts, with Part I featuring an editorial and Part II containing ten articles on UFO research. The content is primarily in Portuguese, with an English summary provided for some sections.

Editorial: A Partida

The issue opens with an account of a UFO departure, described as an object that closed its entrance, emitted a slight noise, and then ascended rapidly and vertically. Witnesses observed an intense bluish light and concentric bluish rings. The object left a vapor condensation with an odor resembling burnt kerosene. The ascent created a violent air suction, and the object emitted a strong heat and a pronounced smell of burnt kerosene.

Vestígios (Traces)

The day after the event, traces were found at the landing site. A circle of approximately 65 cm in diameter in the grass was burned, and the earth within a smaller concentric circle was pressed, showing a depression of 10 cm. Marks from a tripod, each about 10 cm in diameter, were also present. Additionally, eight to ten tiles from a nearby pottery were displaced, and a truck parked nearby experienced battery discharge, distributor issues, and dynamo/starter motor problems.

Fotos (Photos)

Dr. Udo Schmidt, a lawyer, photographed the site and confirmed the burned grass and depression. The peculiar smell of burning persisted for four to five months, during which vegetation did not grow within the circle.

"ELES" VOLTARAM... (They Returned...)

This section details an incident from December 1968, where Henrique Schneider Júnior witnessed a luminous object. He, along with his son Amaury and neighbors, observed the object. Schneider Junior is described as a respected figure in his city, having served as a councilman. He chose not to publicize the event.

Comentário do Pesquisador (Researcher's Commentary)

The researcher, Carlos Varassin, notes that despite minor discrepancies and the untestable nature of telepathic communication, the accounts are coherent. He expresses confidence in the material evidence and the informants' credibility.

Outros Casos de Tripulantes de Formas Estranhas (Other Cases of Occupants of Strange Forms)

This section presents several case studies:

10 A - Tripulantes Retangulares (Rectangular Occupants)

In March 1969, at a radio and television relay station in Sweden, an alarm sounded. Technician K. Maslund observed a UFO about 15 meters away, hovering. Beings in box-like forms, measuring 1.30 to 1.35 meters in length and 0.30 to 0.40 meters in width, floated out of a tunnel-like opening. Seven to eight of these beings entered the station before the UFO departed.

10 B - Tripulantes Triangulares (Triangular Occupants)

This case, reported in "Flying Saucer Review", describes two boys, Terence and Roderick, who saw a triangular being made of multicolored drawings with black arms and pincers. The being was seen near a car and appeared to observe them.

10 C - Tripulantes em Forma de Cone (Cone-Shaped Occupants)

Two Swedish youths encountered a UFO from which four cone-shaped beings emerged. These beings, about 1.20 meters tall, attempted to abduct the youths, but fled when one managed to escape and honk the car horn.

10 D - O Espectro Voador de Natal (The Flying Specter of Natal)

This case, reported by "Flying Saucer Review", describes a strange being approximately 3.5 meters tall seen in Natal, Brazil. It had a square head with luminous buttons and emitted light from its eyes and smoke from its head. Witnesses felt static electricity.

10 E - Os Deuses Ciclópicos (The Cyclopean Gods)

Investigated by the Peruvian Institute of Interplanetary Relations (IPRI), this case from Peru (1947-1948) involved a UFO near Lima. The occupants, about 1.5 meters tall, appeared human-like but with a single eye. They claimed to have eternal life, multiply by division, and subsist on cosmic energy and humidity. They sought to speak with a terrestrial leader about the dangers of atomic energy.

10 F - Observações da SBEDV (SBEDV Observations)

This section presents five additional cases of "strange" occupants, aiming to keep readers updated. The author expresses belief in the veracity of these accounts due to the researchers' expertise.

Hypotheses on Extraterrestrial Intelligence

The article explores hypotheses regarding the appearance of extraterrestrial intelligences, particularly those with geometric or unusual forms:

1. Parapsychological Phenomena: The experiences might be parapsychological, with witnesses subjectively experiencing these "episodes."
2. Disguised Extraterrestrials: Extraterrestrials might present themselves in "strange forms" due to a lack of interest in revealing their true appearance, possibly using hypnotic means.
3. Protective Shells: Humanoid extraterrestrials might use described forms as protective shells, similar to a snail's shell, to survive in different atmospheres and pressures.
4. Sophisticated Teleguidance: Geometric "forms" could be highly sophisticated teleguided entities, possibly controlled from a UFO or a distant base.
5. Unimaginable Intelligence: The universe might harbor intelligences linked to forms that appear "esdrúxulas" (bizarre) to humans, which humanity has not yet perceived, similar to the initial disbelief in electrons or interplanetary beings.

The text discusses the concept of intelligence being linked to physical forms via nucleic acid and posits that terrestrial humans, as the pinnacle of animal evolution, are uniquely conscious of this intelligence. It questions whether Darwinian evolution is the sole explanation for human existence, especially in light of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

The article also touches upon the idea of a "SUPREME BEING" or "CREATOR" mentioned by extraterrestrials, suggesting that if such a being exists, nothing would be impossible, given its role in creating the diversity of life.

It then raises the question of "Existential Dimensions," contemplating the possibility of "parallel universes" and how beings from higher dimensions might interact with our three-dimensional reality. The concept of time as a dimension is also discussed, suggesting that if time were not a factor, astronomical travel might be more feasible.

Dimensions

The magazine discusses the concept of dimensions, distinguishing between geometric dimensions (length, width, thickness) and physical dimensions (mass, space, time). It suggests that phenomena beyond our three-dimensional understanding are difficult to grasp. The article uses the analogy of a flat drawing on paper representing a 3D object to illustrate this difficulty. It also mentions that light, being corpuscular energy, represents mass, as explained by physicists like Einstein.

The text explores the idea that creatures from "n" dimensions could traverse worlds with fewer dimensions by "escaping" through the missing dimensions. For example, a 3D cube could escape a 2D world through the third dimension (height). Similarly, a 4D creature might easily pass through a solid wall.

It is speculated that some extraterrestrials might belong to "parallel universes" with different dimensions and integrate into our world through similar mechanisms, explaining unusual phenomena observed.

The article also poses a philosophical question about whether our physical body (3 dimensions) and intellect (more than 3 dimensions) are a combination of our physical framework and a higher-dimensional intellect.

Regarding the three physical dimensions, it is questioned whether a "parallel universe" exists from which the dimension of "time" is absent. This could potentially explain astronomical travel challenges, where even light-speed journeys would take thousands of years in our conception of time. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is mentioned as a potential starting point for understanding this mystery.

Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Forms

The text acknowledges the difficulty in assimilating the existence of intelligence in purely geometric or unusual forms, as human perception of intelligence is tied to organic bodies and "life." It references examples of animal intelligence and mentions cases of "bird-men" and contemporary urological research on "winged ladies" and "moth-men."

Hypotheses are presented for the appearance of intelligences in unusual or geometric forms:

1. Parapsychological Phenomena: The experiences might be parapsychological, with witnesses subjectively experiencing these "episodes."
2. Disguised Extraterrestrials: Extraterrestrials might present themselves in "strange forms" due to a lack of interest in revealing their true appearance, possibly using hypnotic means.
3. Protective Shells: Humanoid extraterrestrials might use described forms as protective shells, similar to a snail's shell, to survive in different atmospheres and pressures.
4. Sophisticated Teleguidance: Geometric "forms" could be highly sophisticated teleguided entities, possibly controlled from a UFO or a distant base.

It is suggested that extraterrestrials might use shells for protection, similar to a snail's shell, to survive in different atmospheres and pressures. The concept of "omnipresent" tachyons is mentioned as a potential means for teleguidance.

Further Cases and Research

Cases of robots acting autonomously are cited. The article then presents more UFO research cases:

• No 5: A family and farmhands reported UFO sightings and the presence of crew members near their home in Pirassununga.
• No 6 and 7: Proposals for better research are made.
• No 8 - Onilson Pattero: This case describes Pattero's car turning transparent when hit by a blue ray from a UFO. His hair darkened, and he developed an itching skin rash. He later had a second encounter where he met the crew members. His car was found abandoned, and he was discovered 900 km away, disoriented.
• No 9 and 10 - Carlos Varassin: Research on an event involving a brick factory owner who met a landed UFO and bizarr shaped beings. The witness experienced telepathic communication.

List of Books and Magazines

The issue includes a list of books and magazines related to UFO research, such as "Proceedings of the Eastern UFO Symposium of Baltimore," "La Realidad de los OVNIS a Través de los Siglos," and various works by Antonio Ribera and Oscar A. Uriondo. It also lists German-language books on UFOs and a book by Dr. Alberto Pinott.

English Summary

This section provides an English summary of the Portuguese content. It highlights the editorial's reminder of Antonio Vilas Acas's extraterrestrial "contact" partner and other cases of contacts with Flying Saucer crew members in Brazil. It mentions cases involving a receptionist, a night watchman, law students, and Artur Berlet, who was abducted by extraterrestrials.

The summary then details the ten articles on UFO research:

• No 1: A cultured lady's account of a UFO sighting in PAPA, Brazil, suggesting government awareness of extraterrestrial visitors.
• No 2 (CICOANI): A case of a soldier abducted by red-bearded, small, vigorous spacemen for four and a half days to their base.
• No 3, 4, and 5: Additional digging into Tiago Machado's contact case, including interviews with his mother, a neighbor, and a farmhand.
• No 8 (Onilson Pattero): A detailed account of Pattero's encounters, including his car becoming transparent and subsequent physical effects.
• No 9 and 10 (Carlos Varassin): Research on a brick factory owner's encounter with a UFO and bizarr shaped beings, involving telepathic communication.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, the physical evidence left behind, the nature and appearance of extraterrestrial occupants, and the psychological and physical effects on witnesses. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging a scientific approach while acknowledging the extraordinary nature of the phenomena. The publication aims to inform readers about ongoing UFO research and diverse case studies from around the world, particularly focusing on Brazil. There is a clear emphasis on presenting witness testimonies and the researchers' attempts to corroborate them with physical evidence and logical analysis, even when dealing with phenomena that challenge conventional understanding.
