Directorate Constitution

The Directorate for the period 1977/1981 is detailed, with Dr. Walter Karl Buhler serving as President and also holding the positions of 1st Vice-President, Treasurer, and 2nd Treasurer. Dr. Guilherme Pereira is the 2nd Vice-President, also acting as 1st and 2nd Secretary. The Fiscal Council members are Wilson Teixeira and Amanda Alves Pinto, with Otto Erwin Gluck, Almiro Baraúna, and Francisco Sa Borges as their substitutes.

News of the Society

To streamline bureaucratic activities and focus on ufological research and bulletin preparation, modifications were made to the SBEDV's statutes. These include the provisional suspension of new member admissions, the establishment of a pre-set annual fee (Cr$ 140.00 for 1979), a five-year mandate for the Directorate, and the possibility for Directors to cumulatively fill vacant positions.

Conversation with the Reader

This section discusses the core of ufological study, emphasizing that the primary focus should be on the occupants of flying saucers and their behavior, rather than solely on the propulsion mechanics. The analogy of a beehive is used to illustrate this point, where the bees' behavior is more important than the honey or honeycomb. The article notes that while many ufologists now discuss UFO occupants, the focus is often on their origins and purposes, sometimes overlooking the more profound aspects of their interaction with humans.

It criticizes certain ufological bulletins for selectively omitting details from witness accounts, particularly those that highlight the interaction between extraterrestrials and humans. An example is given of the report by Spanish doctor Francisco Júlio Padrón y Leon, which is allegedly downplayed by some bulletins. The Portuguese bulletin "Insólito" is praised for its comprehensive coverage of Dr. Leon's testimony, including his observations of a spherical spacecraft and its occupants.

Witness Testimony (Item No. 4)

This section presents an account from a witness who experienced a peculiar "cold" sensation during a UFO encounter. The witness describes it as distinct from physical cold and lasting for three days. The witness also recounts the panic of the driver of the vehicle they were in, who subsequently experienced depression and emotional distress for several days, requiring psychiatric treatment.

The witness reflects on the experience, stating that the craft was not material and was occupied by beings of superior spiritual perfection, devoid of malice. The encounter led to a profound shift in the witness's perspective, making them realize the existence of something superior to humanity and highlighting the egoism and imperfections of the human world.

When asked about the consequences of sharing this experience, the witness expressed indifference to the opinions of ignorant or malicious individuals, stating they felt obligated to share what they witnessed. The witness also affirmed that they would recount the experience again if given the opportunity, asserting that they are above the gossip and judgment of others.

The witness is convinced of the reality of UFOs, suggesting that those who deny them are willfully blind, choosing to ignore facts that challenge their established beliefs.

UFOs and Spacecraft Forms

The bulletin includes research on various flying saucer shapes, with some captured by cameras in different regions of Brazil. It also features observations made at close range and over long periods, describing enigmatic vehicles.

Recess of the SBEDV

The SBEDV entered a six-month recess from July to December 1978 due to the extended travel of its Directorate members. During this period, a representative of the SBEDV was in Germany and read an article in the German magazine "Quick" (issue 37, 1978) by ufologist Freiherr von Butlar. The article discussed the case of a Brazilian who had contact with an extraterrestrial being, identified as the now Dr. Antônio Villas Boas.

Butlar's article also mentioned a radioactivity examination of Villas Boas's body. However, the bulletin points out that this examination, conducted by the late Dr. Olavo Fontes and engineer João Martins, is not officially part of the report, and the examination was conducted in Rio de Janeiro, not in the environment where Villas Boas lived. The bulletin suggests that Dr. Olavo Fontes never mentioned this possible examination, and therefore, it should not have been included by the article's author.

The SBEDV claims that Butlar did not correctly understand their previous explanations given over an international phone call. To rectify this, they contacted their ufologist friend and editor, Karl Veit, in Germany. Veit published a correction in his bulletin "UFO - Nachrichten" (No. 253, Oct. 1978) under the heading "Streiflichter aus Brasilien."

Latest News

Activities have resumed, with significant progress noted in the ufological field, particularly due to a television presentation. The presenter, Flávio Cavalcanti, and producer Ghiaroni are credited for featuring individuals who had contact with UFO occupants on live TV. The report highlights the seriousness with which these individuals were presented, a novel aspect. The program's focus on UFOs is seen as significant, as this subject was previously of interest only to secret services of major global powers.

The bulletin recalls past criticisms and "bombings" against witnesses of extraterrestrial contact, suggesting these were attempts to obscure the subject's importance. It mentions the reception of Paulo Caetano da Silveira on TV in Itaperuna as an example. The researchers, with nearly 25 years of experience, acknowledge that their knowledge of extraterrestrials is still limited. They express surprise that Flavio Cavalcanti's program, despite its high viewership, was abruptly terminated without apparent cause.

Recommendations to Television Stations

While SBEDV has previously been consulted on UFO matters for television, their advice has not been sought regarding the presentation of material. Taking advantage of the current "opening" for discussions on extraterrestrials, the bulletin offers its contribution. It recognizes that the average viewer may lack the basic knowledge to comprehend the subject, as its study is relatively recent, initiated about twenty-five years ago when George Adamski described his first contact.

Although a television team may not typically possess the research resources for a ufological episode, the bulletin aims to assist in presenting cases to viewers more effectively.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes the importance of studying the occupants of UFOs and their behavior, rather than focusing solely on the technology. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical investigation, seeking to clarify misinformation and present detailed accounts of sightings and encounters. There is a clear effort to correct inaccuracies in published reports, as seen in the response to the article by Freiherr von Butlar. The bulletin also highlights the growing public interest in UFOs, as evidenced by television programs, and aims to provide a more informed perspective on the subject.

This issue of the SBEDV bulletin (No. 126/128) focuses on significant UFO events and the growing openness of the topic in Brazil. It details a remarkable sighting of a flying saucer squadron over a Brazilian air base and presents photographic evidence from an earlier event.

Main Articles

Squadron of Flying Saucers Over Brazilian Air Base

The lead article describes a sighting on the night of March 11-12, 1978, involving isolated flying saucers and squadrons over the central-eastern region of Brazil, particularly the Rio de Janeiro area. The phenomenon was also observed in cities like Nova Friburgo, Teresópolis, São Gonçalo, Cabo Frio, and even Brasília. In Brasília, the objects were seen by residents and pilots, with radar systems reportedly detecting their presence. The report mentions an earlier event on March 9, 1978, in the Cantareira woods near São Paulo, where an unidentified object was observed to 'fall' and cause an explosion.

The testimony of Colonel Aviador Rui Guardiola, stationed at the Campo dos Afonsos air base, is central to this report. He observed the phenomenon from his residence, providing detailed descriptions of the objects' movements, shapes, and luminosity. He noted the objects' descent, horizontal flight, and a remarkable display of lights. The article includes his sketches of the observed phenomena, illustrating the shapes and formation of the flotilla, which consisted of two main bodies accompanied by smaller elliptical objects.

Colonel Guardiola's observations included details about the objects' speed, altitude, and the apparent energy field surrounding them. The report estimates the speed of the main bodies and the 'reboque' (towed formation) and discusses the time it took for the flotilla to pass over the observation point.

Photographic Evidence from Brasília

Another significant section details an event from May 27, 1961, in Brasília, where a luminous object was photographed by Aclayr Paschoal at the technical photography laboratory of INC. The photographs, taken in the presence of other witnesses, captured a luminous phenomenon in the sky. The article includes explanations from Azilzo Paschoal, Aclayr's brother and head of the lab, who authenticated the photos. He noted differences in the object's appearance between the two shots, attributing it to movement. The analysis suggests the object might have been a 's' shape in one photo due to movement and a disc in another. The issue includes calculations based on the object's estimated distance and elevation, derived from the photographs and witness testimony.

UFO Research and Publications

The bulletin highlights the growing progress in ufology in Brazil, noting an increased sensitivity and respect for citizens' reports. It mentions the efforts of organizations like SBEDV in advocating for the official recognition of UFO phenomena and extraterrestrial presence. The issue lists several Brazilian UFO bulletins, including 'Agartha', 'Delta', and 'UFO-OVNI Documento', and provides their contact information.

It also references previous SBEDV research, including a study on UFO landings near Campo dos Afonsos from 1970. The article expresses hope for a greater 'opening' of the subject to the public, moving away from government secrecy and into academic and public discourse.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the detailed reporting of specific UFO sightings, the presentation of photographic and testimonial evidence, and the ongoing effort to legitimize ufology in Brazil. The editorial stance is one of advocating for transparency, public awareness, and a scientific approach to the study of UFOs and potential extraterrestrial contact. The bulletin emphasizes the importance of citizen testimony and the need for governments to acknowledge and investigate these phenomena openly.

This issue of SBEDV, identified as number 126/128 and published by CIPEX e GENA in 2004, focuses on UFO phenomena reported in Brazil during the 1970s. The content includes detailed accounts of sightings, photographic evidence, and witness testimonies, with a particular emphasis on investigations conducted by researchers like Edmilson R. do Ó.

Key Articles and Reports

UFO Photographed in Maceió, Alagoas (Pages 22-23)

This section details an event on May 1, 1976, involving photographer Marcio Coelho Pereira do Carmo and his family in Maceió. While on his rooftop, he observed a luminous, yellow-orange object. He managed to photograph it using a Yashica Lynx-1000 camera with a 100 ASA film and an f/1.8 aperture. The resulting photograph, chosen as the best, reportedly showed a luminous beam emanating from the object's underside, a detail noticed later. The report also mentions a previous UFO photograph taken by the same witness in 1957, whose negatives and copies mysteriously disappeared. The incident occurred during a brief power outage in Maceió, attributed by the electricity company to a voltage overload.

UFO Encounter with an Automobile in Caruaru, Pernambuco (Pages 24-25)

This report, researched by Edmilson R. do Ó and assisted by Rubens Antônio de Couto Soares, describes an encounter on December 3, 1975. Galba José Cordeiro de Albuquerque, a 32-year-old accountant and radio amateur, was driving alone on a road near Garanhuns when he saw a bright light approaching. The object, described as ovular with a transparent cupola and two lower headlights, emitted a bluish halo. It hovered near his car, estimated to be about 100m away, before rapidly retreating. The entire observation lasted about 8 minutes. The witness, who had aviation knowledge, was certain it was not a conventional aircraft. The Kombi's engine reportedly faltered several times during the encounter.

UFO Accompanies Automobile for 160 km (Pages 25-26)

This extensive case, researched by Edmilson R. do Ó and José Rodrigues da Silva Jr., involved 14 witnesses on the night of June 26-27, 1977. A professional football team was traveling in a Volkswagen Kombi along highways BR-232 and PE-320 in Pernambuco when a luminous object appeared. The object, estimated to be 30m in diameter and 8m in height, had a distinct two-part structure: a lower hemispherical part and an upper cupola. It emitted orange light beams that illuminated the road. The object maintained a distance of approximately 40m from the Kombi, sometimes approaching as close as 15m, and followed them for about 160 km. The Kombi's engine experienced issues during the event. The report notes that 8 of the 14 passengers were particularly interested, including a military man and several football players.

UFO Dives into the Sea in São Miguel, Santa Catarina (Pages 27-28)

This investigation by Marcelino Edmundo Claudino and Belisário Rogério de Souza, initiated by a report from 1974, concerns an event on September 13, 1975. Two scouts from Lages, SC, investigated a claim of a UFO diving into the sea near São Miguel. They interviewed fisherman Humberto Generoso, who reported seeing a white, fast-moving object emerge from the sea, descend, touch the water, and then sink within about 5 minutes. The object was estimated to be 8m in diameter and 2-3m in height. Authorities were notified, and it was confirmed not to be an airplane crash. The report includes drawings of the object by Generoso and Marcelino.

Occupants Seen on a UFO Over Atafona, Rio de Janeiro (Pages 29-30)

This article, based on reports from August 1977, details sightings on the beach of Atafona. Rosângela and Rosirene, two young sisters, reported seeing a luminous, disc-shaped object with occupants on its surface. They observed three such objects at one point. The objects were about 150m away, and the witnesses estimated the distance between them to be around 20m. The occupants were described as tall and thin, moving their arms and legs normally. A luminous beam was seen directed upwards from the center of the main object. The report also mentions frequent UFO appearances in the area during that period. Another sighting on July 29, 1977, involved a large luminous object seen by about 15 people, emitting light beams and accompanied by a smaller, red, circular light. A later event on August 18, 1977, at Pontal port, involved fishermen observing an object projecting luminous rays.

Comments and Editorial Stance

The editorial comments address several points:

1. Research Methodology: The publication praises the scouts' dedication to research, emphasizing that advanced degrees or extensive equipment are not essential for ufological investigation. It criticizes the high demands of some groups as mere vanity or convenience.
2. News Verification: The researchers investigated news reports about the alleged abduction of fisherman Antônio de Azevedo's wife by extraterrestrials in Navegantes but found no record of such an event at the police station or in the fishermen's registry.
3. Information Control: There's a critique of certain bulletins and UFO magazines that claim to always defend the truth but fail to retract false information. The issue highlights the dependence of ufologists on newspaper reports for initiating local investigations and the importance of transparency.
4. Data Monopoly: The publication suggests that political and economic powers have an interest in controlling information about UFOs, using the motto "Knowledge is power" to manipulate populations.
5. Encouragement for Local Press: The editors express a desire for local newspapers in the Northeast region to publish UFO reports, thereby increasing public awareness and encouraging more witnesses to come forward.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, photographic evidence of UFOs, and encounters with alleged extraterrestrial occupants. The editorial stance is one of diligent investigation, critical analysis of information, and a belief in the importance of ufological research, even when faced with skepticism or potential disinformation. The publication aims to document and share these phenomena, encouraging further study and open discussion.

This issue of the "Bulletin" (Volume 126/128, dated 2004) by CIPEX e GENA focuses on ufological research and reports from Brazil, with a primary emphasis on witness testimonies and case analyses. The cover headline highlights an "Extraterrestrial Tri-pulant Observes Workers of the 'Moinho Curitibano'", and a secondary headline mentions a "Doctor Voluntarily Visits a Flying Saucer".

The Moinho Curitibano Incident

The first major report details an episode involving Wilma Camargo, who resides near Curitiba, Paraná. In 1972, during her lunch break at the Moinho Curitibano, she and other employees observed a mysterious vehicle hovering about 2 meters above a pereira tree. The vehicle, approximately 2 meters in diameter with an oval base and a pointed front, was described as having a small pyramid-like appendage hanging from its narrower end. A square window on the wider part of the base revealed the head of a creature with straw-colored hair, small eyes close together, and no discernible nose, only slits. The creature's mouth was large, and its neck was visible. The vehicle remained for about 5 minutes before departing. The research for this case was conducted on May 22, 1977, by CIPEX and GENA.

The Doctor's Encounter

Another significant account, presented as a "Voluntary Visit of a Doctor to a Flying Saucer," involves a respected professional who wished to remain anonymous. The incident occurred around March 10-20, 1969, in Barra da Tijuca. After a medical meeting, the doctor was driving alone in his Aero-Willys when his car began to malfunction. While attempting to fix it, he noticed his colleagues' car lights receding in the distance. He then observed a dark dome ahead, from which a luminous ramp extended to the ground. Driven by an unknown impulse, he ascended the ramp and entered a circular craft. Inside, he found four individuals (three men and one woman) in a meeting. He described them as having a normal physical appearance, with one being of a darker complexion, resembling Panamanians. They communicated telepathically, and he perceived their interaction as a "sowing of ideas" that could be useful. He also observed a screen displaying images, including landscapes and scenes of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, viewed as if from a great height. After approximately 40-60 minutes, he was asked to leave. Upon exiting, the craft and ramp had vanished. The doctor's car then started normally. The experience left him disoriented, questioning his sanity, and contemplating suicide. He later sought to rationalize the event and understand concepts of time measurement and telepathy. This case was researched by CIPEX and GENA in 2004.

UFO Research and News Briefs

The bulletin also includes several brief reports on ufological experiences reported in newspapers:

• "Student Seduced by a Woman from Another Planet": This report from "O Dia" (May 21, 1978) discusses research by SPIPDV into the experience of student José Inácio Alvaro, who was allegedly taken aboard a flying saucer on March 2, 1978.

• "I Wasn't Afraid: They Were So Tiny": This article from "Oltima Hora" (January 25, 1978) details the alleged abduction of two boys, Manoel Roberto (11) and Paulinho (10), by small extraterrestrials from a flying saucer in Rondonópolis, MT. The boys were reportedly held for three days before being released. The report notes that the extraterrestrials were small, wore red garments, and communicated non-verbally.

• "Crippled Minor Was Taken on a Flying Saucer to Another Planet": A report from "O Imparcial" (February 1, 1978) about Antônio Alves Ferreira, a 14-year-old who claimed to have traveled to another planet. The extraterrestrials were described as short (80 cm), dark-skinned, with large eyes, and a beak-like mouth.

Addendum to the Paciência Case

This section revisits the case of Antônio La Rubia, who witnessed projected images inside a flying saucer. The author proposes a third interpretation for the scene where a dog and an extraterrestrial were seemingly destroyed on screen. This interpretation suggests the images were projections of ideas and thoughts from the extraterrestrials, transformed into visuals for better comprehension by Antônio. These "visual messages" were intended not only for Antônio but for all of humanity, possibly serving as a warning or a political statement. The author notes that Antônio later experienced physical symptoms (skin burning, gastroenteritis) that corresponded to some of the projected scenes, suggesting a connection between the projections and his subsequent physical well-being.

Further Analysis and Commentary

The bulletin also touches upon the political aspect of UFOs, noting that governments officially deny their existence, creating a disconnect with the reality of ufological research. The authors suggest that witnesses might need a "liberating psychodrama" to cope with the pressure. They also mention instances of intimidation faced by ufologists and witnesses, citing examples of individuals being pressured to alter their testimonies or losing their jobs and photographic evidence.

English Summary

The English summary provides a chapter-by-chapter overview of the bulletin's content, detailing various UFO sightings and encounters reported across Brazil. These include sightings in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Maceió, Caruaru, and Santa Catarina, involving phenomena such as "armadas" of UFOs, photographic evidence, encounters with vehicles at road level, and "escorts" of vehicles by flying saucers. The summary also mentions a case of an UFO watering at a bay and a sighting of "Ufonauts" on deck.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are witness testimonies, ufological research, and the analysis of alleged extraterrestrial encounters. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into UFO phenomena, presenting detailed accounts and offering interpretations, while acknowledging the challenges posed by official denials and potential psychological impacts on witnesses. The publication aims to document and analyze these events, encouraging further research by other ufologists.

This document is page 42 of a publication titled "SBEDV", likely a bulletin or magazine focused on UFO phenomena. The content is divided into chapters, discussing various aspects of UFO sightings and encounters. The primary language appears to be English, with some Portuguese in the contact information.

Chapter 12: Witness Account

Chapter 12 details an account given anonymously, at the plea of the person involved, by a witness who visited a stationary Flying Saucer (F.S.). Inside the craft, the witness encountered several individuals who were identical in features and dress to earthlings. Their communication occurred on a telepathic level, involving an exchange of ideas and thoughts. During their time in the Flying Saucer, the witness observed a screen that appeared to be registering the landscape outside the UFO. The witness disembarked at a location that was the same as their point of embarkation, after a travel time of 40 to 60 minutes.

Chapter 13: Abduction Cases

Chapter 13 highlights three clippings from daily newspapers that discussed cases of abduction by Flying Saucers. Notably, in two of these reported cases, the witnesses were underage.

Chapter 14: Antônio Bogado La Rubia Case

Chapter 14 serves as a reminder of the abduction case of Antônio Bogado La Rubia, which had previously been detailed in SBEDV Bulletin numbers 121/125. The chapter suggests that, in light of the pictures shown to the witness by the 'ufonauts', SBEDV has developed an additional idea regarding the motive behind these events.
