Constitution of the Directorate
The issue details the Directorate of SBEDV for the period 1977-1981, listing the President, Vice-Presidents, Fiscal Council members, and their respective roles. It also mentions modifications to the SBEDV statutes to streamline activities, including a temporary suspension of new member admissions, a mandatory annual fee, and a five-year mandate for the Directorate.
News from the Society
This section outlines changes to the SBEDV statutes aimed at focusing on ufological research and bulletin preparation. These include suspending new member admissions, implementing an annual fee, and establishing a five-year term for the Directorate. The annual fee for 1980 was set at Cr$140.00.
Conversation with the Reader
This section addresses the 'Casemiro de Abreu' incident, referencing a newspaper article from 'Basler Zeitung' about 50,000 Brazilians expecting a UFO landing from Jupiter. The article recounts SBEDV directors being approached about a future 'landing' and meeting with Edilcio Barbosa, who claimed to be communicating with extraterrestrials and sought collaboration. Barbosa also alleged that Brazilian Navy officials were assisting him and that a military pilot who had disappeared in 1976 would be returned by a UFO.
An SBEDV director expressed skepticism, finding Barbosa's claims implausible. The article notes that Barbosa had previously contacted SBEDV 13 years prior, seeking help to find a missing friend, and had claimed to have worked for the Navy's secret service, later correcting it to the Army's.
Barbosa had proposed a fundraising scheme involving 'artistic parties' to support research. The article questions why other ufologists did not investigate Barbosa's past before giving him credibility, especially after attending the meeting where SBEDV directors voiced reservations.
The article contrasts Barbosa's claims with the lack of any confirmed extraterrestrial landings on Earth. It also mentions a previous 'staging' in Nova Lima, near Belo Horizonte, which, though frustrated, was investigated by ufologists and media. The authors express hope that Barbosa's claims would be thoroughly investigated.
Hypnosis, a Dangerous Weapon in the Hands of Politics (Part 1)
This article critically examines the use of hypnosis in ufology, particularly its potential for political manipulation. It begins by discussing the case of a witness who did not require hypnotic regression as they had no memory loss or trauma. The article then presents two typical cases where hypnotic regression was indicated:
1. José Inácio Alvaro: Presented with significant distress and nervousness, he was suggested to undergo hypnotic regression. The event he described occurred at a dam, where he encountered a UFO and fired his revolver at it.
2. Almiro de Freitas: This case, previously detailed in SBEDV Bulletin nr. 74/79, involved psychogenic blindness after being hit by a light beam from a UFO. Dr. Orlando da Fonseca recommended hypnosis for this case, marking it as the first ufological case in Brazil to receive hypnotic treatment.
The article notes that both individuals reportedly benefited from hypnotic regression, helping them recall details of their UFO experiences. It also references previous indications for hypnotic regression in cases of amnesia or partial memory loss, citing examples like Benedito Miranda, Onilson Patero, and Clécia T.R.
It highlights the case of Assis Antônio Caetano de Avila, who, despite being conscious, could not recall events during a UFO encounter, indicating 'amnesia lacunar'. The authors express a cautious approach to hypnosis, even when indicated, respecting the witness's free will and avoiding its use when deemed unnecessary.
The article further discusses the potential for post-hypnotic suggestions to silence or modify a witness's testimony, a concern raised in previous SBEDV bulletins. It also touches upon the role of ufologists in facilitating hypnotic sessions and the ethical considerations involved, citing an example where a ufologist refused to hypnotize a prisoner without the patient's consent.
The Fear of Hypnosis
This section delves deeper into the concerns surrounding hypnosis in ufology. It notes that over two decades of ufological research have seen numerous attempts by political entities to silence witnesses. The authors express fear that ufologists might be exploited by political interests to obtain post-hypnotic orders, potentially altering or suppressing witness accounts.
They recall a previous SBEDV bulletin that raised this hypothesis. While acknowledging that hypnosis can be a powerful tool, they emphasize the risk of its misuse. The article mentions a case where extraterrestrials themselves reportedly counter-indicated hypnosis for a couple (Erminio and Bianca) and Arlindo Gabriel dos Santos.
The Dark Face of Hypnosis
This section expands on the fears regarding the political exploitation of hypnosis. It highlights the potential for political entities to gain advantage from a witness's mind through hypnosis. The authors suggest that unscrupulous ufologists could use post-hypnotic suggestions to silence or alter witness testimonies, thereby controlling the narrative.
They reference Walter Bowart's book 'Operation Mind Control,' which details independent research and corroborating articles on the manipulation of minds. The book allegedly reveals shocking realities about mind control techniques, including those employed by the CIA through projects like MKULTRA and MKDELTA. These projects reportedly involved achieving hypnotic and post-hypnotic control over subjects, often without their knowledge or consent, and sometimes involving chemical substances and electrical shocks to induce hypnosis.
Observation
This observation discusses the potential for political entities to use hypnosis to control witnesses. It mentions the case of a witness who was given a post-hypnotic suggestion to facilitate future hypnotic sessions. It also commends Professor Sylvio Lago for his ethical stance in refusing to hypnotize a prisoner without consent, citing it as a defense of citizens' rights.
The Dark Face of Hypnosis (Continued)
This section continues the discussion on the potential misuse of hypnosis. It references a previous SBEDV bulletin and the book 'Operation Mind Control' by Walter Bowart. The book is described as containing extensive research and corroborating evidence of mind control techniques, including those allegedly employed by the CIA through projects like MKULTRA and MKDELTA. These projects reportedly aimed to achieve hypnotic and post-hypnotic control over subjects, often without their knowledge or consent, and sometimes involved chemical substances and electrical shocks. The article notes that witnesses were typically not informed or consulted about these methods.
Ufological Congresses
This section addresses the role and nature of ufological congresses. The authors believe that these congresses, despite their limited reach, offer an opportunity for ufologists to clarify their stance on politics and whether politics should intervene in ufology. They suggest that if ufologists choose not to engage with politics, they should commit to not publicly attacking witnesses.
They argue that attacks on witnesses equate to attacks on ufology itself, as witnesses are ordinary people. Such intimidation, they contend, discourages future witnesses and leads to research stagnation. The article advocates for avoiding sensationalism at congresses and instead focusing on teaching the fundamental principles of ufological research. This approach, they believe, would allow ufologists to gain valuable contributions from the public.
Furthermore, the article suggests that congresses should consider subjective experiences, focusing on objective material and concrete events. For congresses to be dynamic, they should be led by sensible moderators with a balanced opinion on different ufological viewpoints and a thorough understanding of the knowledge and research of various entities.
Observation
This observation refers to a previous SBEDV bulletin (129/131) that discussed how to access research from other entities. It reiterates the importance of publishing and disseminating research findings by each entity.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the potential for political manipulation of ufological phenomena, particularly through the use of hypnosis. The magazine expresses a critical stance towards government and intelligence agencies' involvement in ufology, suggesting a pattern of control and disinformation. There is a strong emphasis on the importance of ethical research, protecting witnesses, and maintaining the integrity of ufological inquiry against political interference. The editorial stance appears to be one of caution and skepticism towards official narratives and a call for transparency and rigorous investigation within the ufological community.
This issue of SBEDV, identified by the identifier BOL. NO 132/135 and dated 'CIPEX e GENA 2004', focuses on the intersection of hypnosis, drug use, political manipulation, and ufology. The publication expresses concerns about the potential misuse of these elements, particularly highlighting the dangers of hypnosis when intertwined with political agendas. The magazine also presents a detailed account of a significant UFO sighting and alleged encounter.
Observation I: Drugs and Hypnosis
The first observation, attributed to SBEDV, raises alarm about the potential administration of drugs in a 'litico cocktail' form, possibly through mandatory coffee, to facilitate hypnotic induction. This method is seen as a way to render a victim defenseless and susceptible to manipulation. The text suggests that such practices could be used for political purposes, making it easier to control individuals.
Observation II: Drugs and Politics
This section notes that while newspapers may not openly denounce the abuses of hypnosis, they do report on the use of drugs as a means of mental interference. The article recalls past mentions of drug use for political ends, citing the Watergate scandal and the alleged plans of Liddy to use LSD to 'accident' or silence a witness. It also references a CIA operation in Tehran where a 'psychopharmacologist' was involved in a hostage rescue attempt.
The text explains that such methods could enable the programming of multiple hypnosis sessions, implanting post-hypnotic orders linked to a 'sign-signal' (a word, phrase, or sound combination). These orders, once anchored in the mind, could remain latent for years, ready to be executed spontaneously when the signal is given, even if contrary to the person's moral character.
Book Citations and Hypnosis Dangers
The publication references a book that cites a victim programmed for 'suicide' after being used for espionage. It also mentions another book, 'The Mind Manipulators,' suggesting that the assassinations of J.F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King might have been linked to pre-programmed hypnotic sessions with post-hypnotic orders to execute specific actions.
The article emphasizes that individuals subjected to such hypnotic manipulation are victims, even if they unconsciously participate in the schemes. It reiterates the danger of hypnosis, stating that it can never leave a person completely innocent and can pose a real threat to physical and psychological integrity, especially when manipulated by politics.
SBEDV's Position and Concerns
SBEDV, through its presidents José Augusto da Costa Jr, Lulo Duncan de Lima Rodrigues, and Paulo Manzo, has previously advocated for the existence of extraterrestrials, facing political opposition for over 20 years. The organization expresses a desire to distance itself from the use of hypnosis in ufology, except as a therapeutic tool, due to concerns about political interference. They propose the establishment of a committee of three doctors to oversee hypnosis regression sessions for health treatments, with the patient's consent regarding the presence of ufologists.
SBEDV laments the lack of official progress in the extraterrestrial subject and the increasing political involvement, which they believe hinders the protection of witnesses. They criticize the way ufology has been handled, citing examples where politics has made a mockery of the subject.
Case Study: Arlindo Gabriel dos Santos
The issue details a significant case involving Arlindo Gabriel dos Santos, a farmer from Fazenda do Sobrado, Brazil. On May 16, 1979, Arlindo reportedly witnessed the descent of four strange objects. He managed to photograph three of them, described as oblong or torpedo-shaped. The fourth object had a conventional disk shape. Arlindo was allegedly taken aboard one of the craft by two 'ufonauts' (alien occupants).
Inside the craft, Arlindo engaged in a form of communication with the occupants, though the exact method is unclear, possibly telepathic or technologically mediated. He observed screens displaying images of the Sun and Moon, and later, what appeared to be their home planet. The occupants' physical characteristics are described as having large eyes, a broad nose, and ears that were not clearly visible, possibly due to an auditory aid.
Arlindo's experience included being shown the Earth's solar system and receiving explanations about their travel, which seemed dependent on the relative positions of Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. He also noted the occupants' uniforms and their use of advanced technology, including a device that projected images.
Object Descriptions and Evidence
The report provides detailed descriptions of the four objects observed by Arlindo. The first was yellow, cylindrical, with a base and a sphere on top. The second was ovular, with a red 'sword' at its base and a rotating helix on top. The third object was barrel-shaped, striped red and white, with a rotating helix and a wheel. The fourth object was described as a gray, oval-shaped craft, approximately 10-12 meters in diameter, with stabilizers and what appeared to be windows.
Physical evidence mentioned includes impressions left on the ground by the landing gear of the objects and missing items from Arlindo's bag, such as bullets, a sardine can, an opener, and cake. Arlindo also took photographs of the objects, though they appeared as faint smudges due to the distance and lighting conditions.
Communication and Departure
The communication with the ufologists was described as difficult to understand, with sounds seemingly emanating from the environment rather than directly from the occupants. Arlindo was eventually returned to his companions after approximately one hour of absence. He reportedly experienced psychological distress and thirst after the encounter.
Conclusion and Future Publications
SBEDV concludes that while they condemn the political use of drugs and hypnosis, they support scientific research, particularly for health benefits. They express hope that their alert regarding hypnosis in ufology will be heeded. The publication also mentions upcoming articles, including a pioneering work by a young group that could revolutionize ufological research and potentially address the 'tenebrous aspect' of hypnosis, as well as another case investigated through regressive hypnosis.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the potential for manipulation through hypnosis and drugs, the influence of politics on sensitive subjects like ufology, and the detailed investigation of a specific UFO encounter. SBEDV's editorial stance is one of caution regarding the use of hypnosis in ufology, advocating for its restriction to therapeutic applications and emphasizing the need for transparency and ethical research. They also express a commitment to supporting research that benefits human health and a critical view of political interference in scientific inquiry.
This issue of CIPEX e GENA, identified as SBEDV BOL. NO 132/135 from 2004, focuses heavily on UFO sightings and alleged extraterrestrial encounters in Brazil. The primary narrative revolves around the experiences of a witness named Arlindo and his family, detailing a significant UFO landing and encounter.
The Arlindo Case: Observation and Investigation
The issue begins with an 'OBSERVAÇÃO' section detailing Arlindo's experience. After witnessing a UFO, Arlindo reported seeing imprints on the ground left by the craft's landing gear. At the landing site, a circle of nearly 1.5 meters of yellowish-dark brown burned grass was observed. Arlindo's wife, D. Terezinha, noted that his eyes were red and swollen, and he suffered from headaches for three days after the event. He also appeared discouraged but maintained his regular appetite and work routine.
Arlindo's brother, Jairo Esau dos Santos, visited on the night of the incident. Arlindo complained of burning and red eyes, stating, "Nobody should wish to go through what I went through... I had a tough time." However, he did not initially reveal that he had been inside the UFO.
Later, on May 25, 1979, Arlindo and Jairo returned to the landing site. Arlindo confessed to Jairo that he had been inside the "Flying Saucer," explaining his fear that political researchers (SBEDV) might take him to the United States. They observed the burned grass circle and square imprints left by the UFO's landing gear.
Further investigation by the Varginense UFO research team, led by Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues, occurred on July 14, 1979. After 67 days, they found remnants of the landing gear marks. A plaster cast was made of one of the square imprints. The team faced difficulties reaching the exact landing spot due to its distance from the farm's headquarters.
Research Methodology and Findings
The magazine highlights the research conducted by the Varginense team, which involved scientific investigation, publication of data for review by another team, and on-site research with the witness. They emphasize the importance of widespread dissemination of UFO research findings.
Physical Evidence and Object Characteristics
Several photographs and drawings document the case. Figures illustrate the landing imprints (Fig. F, V), the UFO's interior (Fig. G), and various objects associated with the encounter. The object's characteristics are described as a disc, possibly with a central dome and a protruding border. The burned grass circle was approximately 1.5 meters in diameter. The landing gear left square imprints. The issue also discusses the calculation of object dimensions based on photographs and focal distance.
Magnetism and Extraterrestrial Communication
An interesting finding was the increased magnetism detected on Arlindo's shotgun, particularly near the barrel, reaching almost 2 gauss. This is linked to potential magnetic energy sources within the UFO's circular room. The report speculates that extraterrestrials might use powerful electromagnetic fields to traverse vast distances.
Extraterrestrial Writing and Symbols
The issue analyzes symbols found on Arlindo's returned bag (embornal). These symbols are compared to those found on a message given to Luis Henrique in São Paulo in 1958. The analysis suggests a possible syllabic structure rather than alphabetic letters, with approximately 150 types of signs.
Other Cases and Observations
The magazine presents several other UFO-related cases:
- Caconde Case: A description of an interplanetary cylinder found in Caconde, SP, which emitted a powerful light.
- Urca Case: A report of a luminous, fusiform object entering an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, causing electrical disturbances.
- Largo do Machado Case: An account of a flying object visiting an apartment in Rio de Janeiro, emitting sparks and smoke.
- Lagoa Vermelha Case: A description of a 7-meter long, luminous, arrow-shaped probe observed in Lagoa Vermelha, RS.
- Irish Farm Case: A report from Ireland about a small, red, rubber-like object that landed in a muddy field and escaped the farmer's grasp.
Arlindo's Family Encounters
The issue also details other encounters involving Arlindo's family:
- Arlindo's personal sighting: Arlindo reported seeing a light that followed him while he was on horseback. The light, described as a "light focus," moved at a meteoric speed and seemed to be playing a game of hide-and-seek.
- Américo Esau dos Santos's sighting: Arlindo's cousin witnessed a disc-shaped object land. A humanoid figure emerged, approximately 1.70 meters tall, wearing a dark brown uniform. The being communicated a "mission of peace" and requested a material or object from Américo, asking for discretion.
Extraterrestrial Perception and Communication
The magazine discusses the concept of extraterrestrial selection of witnesses, suggesting that certain "qualities" or perhaps a connection to extraterrestrial ancestry might play a role. It also touches upon the nature of extraterrestrial communication, noting that Arlindo perceived the voices as coming from a radio-like source rather than directly from the beings. The issue contrasts this with other cases where communication was described as telepathic or through a translator.
Critical Considerations
The article includes a section critiquing the behavior of extraterrestrials, though it cautions against terrestrial civilizations criticizing more advanced ones. It also touches upon the interpretation of time, suggesting that extraterrestrials might perceive time differently, perhaps in generational spans rather than human-defined intervals.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alien contact, physical evidence, witness testimony, and the scientific investigation of these phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into UFO reports, presenting detailed accounts and research findings. The magazine seems to advocate for a more unified and open approach to UFO research, criticizing secrecy and political interference. There is a clear emphasis on documenting and analyzing cases with a desire to understand the extraterrestrial phenomenon.
This issue of SBEDV BOL. NO 132/135, published by CIPEX e GENA in 2004, focuses on two alleged UFO abductions in Pelotas, Brazil. The primary case detailed is the abduction of an ordinary worker, Assis Antônio de Ávila, by beings referred to as 'ufonautas'. The research was conducted by Luiz do Rosário Real and previously published in Revista Ufo.
The Abduction of Assis Antônio de Ávila
The report details the experience of Assis Antônio de Ávila, a 28-year-old single worker from Pelotas, RS. He claims to have been abducted by 'ufonautas' on the night of May 10, 1978. The incident occurred after he was dropped off by friends in his neighborhood. He noticed a strange aerial light resembling a beacon, which he initially pointed out to his companions, who saw nothing unusual.
The Encounter
As Assis walked home, he observed a bright object in the sky, approximately 30 degrees NE, which descended into a field near the Municipal Prison. He described it as a luminous, 'rounded' craft with a metallic aspect, shaped like an 'explorer's hat'. The object landed on four metal legs, and as it descended, the neighborhood lights reportedly went out, creating an impression of darkness.
Assis was then approached by two small beings, about 1.10m tall, dressed in silver-white suits with helmets. They invited him into their craft. Inside, he found the interior brightly lit and experienced difficulty breathing, describing the air as 'different, warmer'. He encountered two more beings, identified as 'women', dressed similarly but with helmets lacking spheres. These beings spoke Portuguese with a slight Spanish accent.
One of the female occupants reportedly engaged in a conversation with Assis, which the report suggests might be interpreted as a form of 'courtship'. Assis, however, insisted on returning home due to his mother's illness. After some insistence, the beings allowed him to leave. He exited the craft and watched it ascend rapidly and disappear.
Physical Traces and Time Dilation
Following the incident, four circular marks were found in the field where the object had landed. A significant aspect of Assis's account is the discrepancy in time. He measured the duration of his experience as 1 hour and 15 minutes, but his subjective perception of the time spent interacting with the beings was only about 10 minutes. This phenomenon is attributed to 'time contraction' possibly caused by the UFO's high speed, in line with Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Hypnotic Regression
To further investigate the details of the encounter, Assis underwent hypnotic regression therapy with Dr. Cid Filgueiras in Rio de Janeiro. During the regression, Assis provided more details about the beings, including their physical appearance, the interior of the craft, and the nature of the interaction. He described the blonde female occupant in particular, noting her beauty and expressing a sense of attraction towards her. The regression also seemed to confirm the 'courtship' aspect of the interaction.
Post-Incident Events
Assis's mother confirmed his late return and agitated state. The report also mentions that Assis's account was initially met with disbelief and ridicule by some. The researcher, Luiz do Rosário Real, revisited the landing site, finding the field had been plowed over, possibly to obscure any remaining evidence.
Second Incident and Preparations for Regression
The issue briefly mentions a second abduction case and details the preparations for Assis's hypnotic regression session, including the logistical challenges and the collaboration with Dr. Cid Filgueiras, a hypnologist and dentist with an interest in ufology.
Observations and Analysis
The SBEDV (Brazilian Society of UFO Studies) provides observations throughout the report. They discuss potential explanations for the lights going out, such as electromagnetic influence. They also analyze Assis's personality, noting his humble origins and limited education, which might affect his ability to articulate his experience. The report acknowledges potential flaws in the questioning during the regression but asserts that the core of Assis's testimony remained consistent.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue strongly focuses on a detailed case study of a UFO abduction, emphasizing witness testimony, physical evidence, and the use of scientific methods like hypnotic regression. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into UFO phenomena, presenting the witness's account and the researchers' analysis with a degree of credibility, while also acknowledging the challenges and potential biases in such investigations. The themes of alien interaction, technological capabilities of UFOs (like time dilation), and the psychological impact on witnesses are central to the narrative.
This issue of CIPEX e GENA, published in 2004, focuses on a detailed account of a UFO sighting and alleged abduction experienced by a witness named José Inácio in Pelotas, Brazil. The magazine presents the findings from two hypnotic regression sessions conducted to explore the witness's fragmented memories of the event.
The Incident and Witness Testimony
The core of the issue revolves around the testimony of José Inácio, who recounts an experience involving a luminous object and extraterrestrial beings. The narrative is structured as a dialogue between interviewers (DR.W.B., DR.CID) and the witness (ASSIS), interspersed with observations from the researchers (SBEDV).
José Inácio describes being taken into a luminous object, referred to as a 'Disco' (Disc). He details interactions with beings, including a female alien, and describes physical examinations and intimate contact. The witness expresses confusion and fear during the experience, particularly regarding the duration and the actions of the extraterrestrials.
- Key elements of his testimony include:
- The Object: Described as luminous, round, and capable of hovering. Its interior is depicted as a circular room with a bed and soft, colorful lights.
- The Beings: Referred to as 'vultos' (shadowy figures) and a female alien. The female alien is described as tall, with clear skin, long, silvery hair, and large, dark eyes. The 'vultos' are described as having a similar appearance to humans but with shadowy faces.
- The Encounter: José Inácio reports being taken into the object, undergoing examinations, and having a sexual encounter with the female alien. He also describes a feeling of being guided by a luminous beam and a sense of his body becoming heavy or 'hard'.
- Time Distortion: The witness reports a significant distortion of time, with hours feeling like minutes.
- Post-Experience Effects: After the alleged encounter, José Inácio experienced a cessation of his smoking habit, which he had for years. He also initially tried to avoid publicity due to the incident.
Hypnotic Regression Sessions
Two distinct hypnotic regression sessions were conducted to delve deeper into José Inácio's experience.
First Session
Conducted by Dr. Palmor Brandão Carapeços, this session involved José Inácio, Luiz do Rosário Real (President of SPIPDV), and other professionals. The session aimed to uncover details about the time period José Inácio could not recall. During this session, he described seeing a light, being led by it, and entering an object. He also recounted an encounter with a woman (the alien) and details of their interaction, including physical intimacy.
Second Session
Due to the need for further confirmation, a second session was conducted by Dr. Pedro Reis Louzada, a hypnologist, dentist, and professor. This session also included Luiz do Rosário Real and other professionals. The questions during this session were more detailed, probing specific aspects of the encounter, such as the appearance of the beings, the nature of the object, and the details of the interaction with the female alien. The witness consistently reported similar details, reinforcing the credibility of his account.
Secondary Testimonies
The magazine also includes testimonies from other individuals who observed unusual phenomena in Pelotas around the time of José Inácio's alleged abduction.
- OVNI's seen over Pelotas (19-20/3/78): Several residents reported seeing a luminous, round object hovering over a field. This object was described as being directly above the location where José Inácio later reported being found after his alleged abduction.
- The Strange OVNI observed over Pelotas: On the night of 2/3/78, hundreds of people observed a UFO moving slowly across the sky. The object was described as round, luminous, with a dark central nucleus, and surrounded by an aureola, appearing at a low altitude.
These secondary testimonies lend external corroboration to the possibility of unusual aerial phenomena occurring in the area during the period of José Inácio's experience.
Researcher's Observations and Analysis
Luiz do Rosário Real, the researcher, highlights José Inácio's sincerity and honesty, noting that his reluctance for publicity indicated a lack of personal gain motive. The researcher also points out the consistency of the witness's account across different sessions and the corroboration from secondary testimonies.
The magazine also includes observations about the witness's physical state during hypnosis, such as his tongue being slightly deviated, which affected his pronunciation. The researchers also noted the suggestive nature of some questions posed during the hypnosis sessions.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The primary theme of this issue is the detailed investigation of a UFO encounter and abduction through the application of hypnotic regression. The magazine adopts a stance of presenting the evidence and testimonies objectively, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. The emphasis is on the witness's personal account, corroborated by other observations and the consistency of details revealed under hypnosis. The publication appears to be dedicated to exploring unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOlogy, and presenting case studies with a degree of thoroughness.

Case Studies and Testimonies
Pelotas Sightings (March 1978)
The issue details several incidents occurring on the night of March 2nd and 3rd, 1978, in Pelotas. Two individuals, José Antônio Garcia (a student) and his girlfriend Marta Regina, reported seeing a UFO near Marta's residence. They described an object emitting intense light that caused a power outage in the vicinity. The object's evolutions lasted about 8 minutes, and it appeared to be enveloped in a gaseous substance.
Two highway patrol officers also reported seeing a UFO that night. They described it as having the shape of a "tray in a vertical position" with a luminous aureola. It moved silently and slowly towards the north. Another report from the same night mentions people in the vicinity of the Kasper firm observing a bright light, described as an "enormous star of variable light," which seemed to "inject light."
The "Sequestro" (Kidnapping) of José Inácio
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the case of José Inácio. On March 19, 1978, researcher Luiz do Rosário Real investigated the location where José Inácio claimed to have been "sequestered" on the night of March 2nd/3rd. At the site, near a ravine, they found a flattened area of grass consistent with José Inácio's description of where he had been. The ground was damp, and José Inácio recalled his pants being dirty and wet from that night.
Further corroboration came from a neighbor, Júlio Dias de Campos, who initially reported seeing a man lying in the same spot where José Inácio had been. However, Júlio later retracted his statement, citing fear of compromising himself. Despite this, the researcher possessed a recorded testimony from other residents who stated Júlio had indeed seen the man and was now denying it out of fear.
Arlindo's Abduction Experience (May 1979)
This section, summarized from a Portuguese review "OVNI Documento" nº 6, details the experience of a 32-year-old farmer named Arlindo. On May 16, 1979, Arlindo and two companions were on his farm when he witnessed the landing of three bullet-shaped vessels, approximately one to two meters long. He managed to photograph them. One object disappeared, another produced a hissing sound and was enveloped in a cloud before vanishing, and the third was photographed.
Subsequently, a larger, oval-shaped craft, about 10 to 12 meters long, landed. While photographing this craft, Arlindo was blinded by a powerful flash of light. He fled, but felt an unseen force holding him. He was then approached by uniformed beings with transparent head coverings. They took him inside the craft, where he was questioned in Portuguese. The beings assured him they meant no harm and were conducting a brief inquiry. They explained that they were made of the same flesh as humans and might return.
After being instructed not to look at the craft during its takeoff to avoid hurting his eyesight, Arlindo was returned. He was speechless for about 20 minutes. Later, when he returned to the landing site with his brother Jairo, he confessed to having been inside the craft. Their satchel and cap, left behind during his escape, were missing. However, two months later, a research team found Arlindo's satchel at the site, empty but with apparent sketches and signs on its fabric.
Other Cases and Observations
José Inácio's 1964 Sighting: When José Inácio was 4 years old, he witnessed an object described as rounded with rotating, multicolored lights, moving horizontally.
The Strange Dream of José Inácio's Mother: On the night of March 18-19, 1978, Da. Iracema Valadão Alvaro, José Inácio's mother, had a dream where an unknown person told her she would become a grandmother, not from this Earth, but from "another Space."
Contactee Cases and Hypnosis: The bulletin mentions two contact cases studied by Luiz do Rosário Real in Pelotas. One involved a witness named Assis, whose experience inside a craft with two men and two girls was explored through hypnotic regression by Dr. Cid Filgueiras. Another case, similar to the Vilas Boas incident, initially presented with amnesia and neurosis, but hypnotic regressions provided relief. The issue also includes a commentary on the potential dangers of hypnosis when applied by unscrupulous individuals, referencing Walter Bowart's book "The Mind Manipulators."
Related Incidents: The bulletin notes a previous UFO sighting by Arlindo four years prior, witnessed by his father. It also mentions a contact case involving Arlindo's cousin, Americo, who encountered a disc-shaped craft and was asked for a favor by a being inside.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, alleged alien abductions, and direct contact with extraterrestrial beings. The SBEDV (Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Sobre Discos Voadores) appears to be dedicated to investigating and documenting such phenomena, presenting detailed accounts and attempting to find corroborating evidence, including physical traces and witness testimonies. The publication also acknowledges the role of research methods like hypnotic regression while cautioning about their potential misuse. The overall stance seems to be one of serious inquiry into unexplained aerial phenomena and potential extraterrestrial interactions, presenting multiple perspectives and case details for the reader's consideration.
