Article: Archive UFO - Omar Carline Bueno

Omar Carline Bueno, a parapsychologist and coordinator of various courses, presents insights from his book "ARQUIVO UFO." The book focuses on reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and contacts with UFO occupants from 1954 to 1979, including cases investigated by his team with SIFETE Pesquisa Científica. Bueno asserts that some reports, backed by analysis and research, attest to the veracity of these sightings. He notes humanity's long-standing fascination with flight and the irrefutable evidence of contact with beings from outer space, citing millions of worldwide sightings and thousands of documented landings, some near military bases. The article also mentions the phenomenon of "men in black" who allegedly intimidated researchers and witnesses. Bueno suggests that we might be on the verge of a significant shift, with "flying machines" and their occupants now among us.

The article further explores the characteristics of alleged UFO occupants, categorizing them into several types. The first type is described as humanoid, measuring 0.90 to 1.35 meters, with large heads, high foreheads, large eyes sensitive to light, and varying eye colors. They reportedly have minimal ears and noses, with mouths resembling slits or orifices. Their arms are long and thin, with hands similar to human hands, and they often wear seamless, metallic suits or spacesuits. A second type, measuring 1.20 to 1.80 meters, is described as physically similar to terrestrial humans, with some reports mentioning blue or greenish skin pigmentation. Their suits are one-piece, and sightings are more frequent during the day. A third, rarer type, prominent in the 1950s, is described as having a large, pumpkin-shaped head, being nude and hairy, with orange or yellow eyes and formidable claws. These beings are bipedal and sometimes quadrupedal, measuring between 0.60 and 2.10 meters. A fourth category encompasses more extravagant forms, often ameboid and luminous, with no humanoid features. Bueno notes that over a hundred sightings of UFO occupants were recorded in 1954 alone, with narratives becoming more frequent since then. Some theories suggest that hundreds or thousands of these beings might already be living among us. The article concludes by posing the question of whether these are genuine extraterrestrial visits or a global psychosis.

Article: The Official Night of UFOs

Written by Marco Petit, this article recounts the events of May 19, 1986, a pivotal date in Brazilian ufology, referred to as the "Official Night of UFOs in Brazil." During a campaign for UFO information disclosure, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) detected over 20 unidentified flying objects over the country. These objects were tracked by Cindacta (Integrated Center for Air Defense and Control) and pursued by FAB fighter jets, marking the largest simultaneous concentration of UFOs ever recorded in Brazil. The following day, the Minister of Aeronautics, Octávio Júlio Moreira Lima, publicly addressed the incident, even making the pilots available to journalists. He promised a detailed report within 30 days, which, however, was never released.

The event began around 6:30 PM in the Paraíba Valley, near São José dos Campos. Two luminous orange objects were first spotted by the airport control tower, approximately 15 km away and at an altitude of 2,000 meters. By 7:00 PM, air traffic control centers confirmed the detection of three unidentified artifacts. At 7:40 PM, two more objects were sighted, positioning themselves above the initial ones and remaining stationary. By 8:00 PM, Cindacta had detected eight unknown targets. The phenomena escalated at 8:30 PM with another extremely luminous UFO heading towards Serra do Mar. Later, a twin-engine Xingu aircraft piloted by Commander Alcir Pereira da Silva, with Colonel Ozires Silva aboard, encountered UFOs while approaching São José dos Campos airport. Colonel Silva took command of the aircraft to pursue one of the objects, but it disappeared. Shortly after, the Xingu again sought another object emitting a strong red light. Before landing, they observed three more objects heading towards Serra do Mar. At 9:40 PM, a large yellow luminous sphere, accompanied by smaller spherical objects emitting white light, was observed from the airport.

Article: IV World Ufology Forum Foz Do Iguaçu 2012

This section announces the upcoming IV World Ufology Forum to be held in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, from December 6th to 9th, 2012. The event will feature 37 exhibitors from 14 countries, with 18 new speakers joining the program. The forum's coordinator, A. J. Gevaerd, stated that despite a packed schedule, they would accommodate all speakers, even with just 10 minutes each, to ensure no recognized ufologists become mere spectators. Most conferences will be 40-50 minutes long, except for Mexican ufologist Jaime Maussán's 90-minute presentation. Maussán is quoted as saying he will bring "bombastic information from around the world" to show that global acceptance of ufological reality is imminent. The article urges interested individuals to register quickly as the last spots are filling up.

Article: Rain of Meat in São Paulo

This article details a mysterious phenomenon observed in Caçapava and São José dos Campos, São Paulo, in 1968. Operatives at a brickyard reported that pieces of meat, described as 5 to 20 cm in size and resembling liver, fell from the sky. One witness, Vicente Rodrigues, was hit on the head and confirmed the sky was clear with no birds present. The meat was described as gelatinous and odorless when fresh, drying in the sun. The incident caused terror among residents, who attributed it to divine punishment. A second incident of meat and blood raining down occurred 25 days later in the Santa Luzia district, affecting thousands of people. Approximately 3.5 kg of meat was collected. Police and technical experts examined the samples, which were sent to the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) in São Paulo. The IML's analysis concluded that the meat was from a female mammal, specifically heart and kidney tissue, but could not definitively determine its origin. The article also notes that the location was not on a common air route between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, ruling out avian sources, and that the fallen material formed a circular pattern without bones or feathers.

Article: UFOs and Military - Revelation of Truth

This section announces a seminar titled "UFOs and Military - Revelation of Truth" and "Advanced Ufology," scheduled for December 2nd, from 3 PM to 7 PM, at CASA DE PADRE PIO in Rio de Janeiro. Marco Antonio Petit, co-editor of Revista UFO and author of six books on ufology, will be the speaker. He is expected to reveal information received from military sources and present video testimonials from high-ranking national and international officials discussing alien contact. The seminar will also feature official documents released by various nations. Registration costs R$30.00 and can be done on-site starting at 2:30 PM.

Article: UFOs Attack in Piracununga

This report details an incident in Vila Pinheiros, Pirassununga, São Paulo, in 1969. A UFO reportedly landed, and small, "strange dwarf-like" beings emerged. A young resident named Tiago Machado approached them and attempted communication. He described the beings as wearing metallic suits and helmets with transparent visors, revealing faces with scars, yellowish skin, thin lips, and large noses. He also saw two more beings inside the disc. The beings spoke an incomprehensible, guttural language. Machado offered them a cigarette, and one being made it disappear with its hand. When guards arrived, the beings retreated into the disc. The last being to enter pointed a torch-like weapon at Machado, firing a red and blue ray that paralyzed his legs before the UFO ascended rapidly. The story, corroborated by other witnesses, caused a sensation, leading Colonel Hélio Stétison to form a commission to investigate.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of O UFOANAMNESE include the investigation of UFO sightings, encounters with alleged extraterrestrial beings (humanoids and other forms), and the analysis of past ufological events. There is a consistent emphasis on the need for transparency and disclosure of information, particularly from military and governmental sources, as highlighted by the "Official Night of UFOs" article and the "UFOs and Military" seminar. The magazine adopts a stance of critical inquiry, seeking to verify reports and present evidence, while acknowledging the persistent mysteries surrounding the phenomena. The editorial stance is one of advocacy for continued research and open discussion within the ufology community and with the broader public, aiming to separate fact from speculation and to document the history of UFO phenomena in Brazil and worldwide.
