Date: May, 1986
Location: Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo, Brazil
More than 20 UFOs are seen and detected by radar in various parts of the country. Colonel Ozires Silva, former president of Embraer Petrobras, pursues the UFOs in a Xingu PT-MBZ aircraft. He later decalres that “The lights were primary targets in the radar, positive targets, a concrete thing”. Two Northrop F-5 and three Mirage III are sent to intercept the UFOs, but the objects disappeared from sight and radar detection.
In the aftermath, the Minister of Aeronautics, Brigadier Otávio Júlio Moreira Lima, publicly declared: "Between 20:00 and 01:00 at least 21 objects have been detected by Brazilian radars. We can only give technical explanations and we do not have them. It’s fantastic, the radar signals were very clear."
