A firsthand account documented in a declassified Brazilian military report details repeated close-contact UFO sightings by a high-ranking Army officer during his assignments in remote jungle regions of Brazil.
The events, spanning multiple nights in 1977, occurred in the Amazon interior and near the Rio Negro, and were described with striking consistency and emotional clarity.
The witness-an Army Major stationed near Barcelos-reported seeing disc-shaped objects emitting pulsing lights, which at times appeared to react to human movement.
The document includes a signed, hand-written statement and sketches, later archived by the Air Force’s intelligence division.
"I never imagined such a thing existed. But I saw it more than once."
🌌 Lights in the Sky and on the Ground
The sightings occurred at night, typically between 8 PM and midnight.
The officer and several companions described luminous aerial objects, often approaching from the north and hovering silently over the forest canopy.
In several instances, they noted:
-
Strong, colored light beams aimed toward the ground
-
Sudden changes in speed and direction
-
A buzzing or crackling sound accompanying the lights
One account describes a red light that seemed to follow the observer, adjusting its position as he moved.
"When I turned off my flashlight and stopped walking, the light stopped moving too."
🧾 Psychological and Physical Impact
The report also explores the emotional toll of the encounters. The witness expressed persistent fear and anxiety and noted that soldiers under his command were unwilling to remain alone on night watch.
He emphasized that these were not isolated or fleeting moments, but recurring, extended observations.
The account was considered credible enough to be forwarded to high-level intelligence channels.
Investigators noted the Major’s clear writing, professional background, and consistency across multiple statements.
"He has no history of hallucinations or instability. He is considered a reliable officer."
📡 Official Interest But No Conclusion
Though no official conclusion is drawn in the file, military authorities deemed the case significant.
The sighting was classified under Brazil’s now-defunct "System for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Objects" (SIOANI), which archived dozens of such cases in the 1970s and 1980s.
What makes this account especially compelling is its blend of personal narrative, official documentation, and repeated observation-a rare trifecta in the study of aerial anomalies.
"The same type of light appeared again the following night, at the same time and place."
